Dory

We have very sad news to share… Our 2016 Alumna, Dory, has passed away.  Her mom Polly said she died after having a stroke.

Dory was found as a stray roaming the streets of Hamilton, Georgia.  She was extremely thin, but it was obvious she once had a family that cared for her since she was in good health and was comfortable inside the house.  She was fostered by Polly, who fell in love immediately and adopted her.

Dory was described as a very happy, spirited girl who loved her stuffed babies and always had one with her, or close to her. You would likely be greeted by Dory carrying one of her stuffed babies in her mouth, tail wagging at full speed.  Her tail never stopped.   We know Dory was loved dearly and her spirit will always be with her family.

“There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning." – Thornton Wilder  ​
