Scooby

We’ve lost another alumnus this week. Scooby came to rescue in 2017 in TN surviving severe broken bones, surgery to repair his front leg, amputation of his back leg, neutering and advanced heartworm disease (twice). His first Foster Mom Tausha patiently saw him through emergency surgery and a slow recovery. He was then transported to FL to his then Foster Mom Janet who nursed him back to health, fell in love and adopted him.

His mom Janet said, “Scooby left us on Friday June 6, due to major heart failure. He is and will be missed terribly as he was an exceptional companion who never complained and was very in tune with our emotions.  He died in my arms quickly, peacefully and without any pain. It’s difficult to adjust to his absence as I sometimes feel that he’s just napping in another room in one of his many beds. I brought him home and he is buried in a place of honor where I can see his final resting place from many windows in my home. It’s difficult but I felt having him nearby would eventually bring comfort to those who couldn’t imagine him ever being absent from our lives.  The sunglasses picture is when he first came home. He was such a mellow guy, didn’t mind the glasses at all, cool dude. Thank you all for any part you played to bring him into our lives. He is truly one in a million and we are heartbroken without him. Thank you for remembering him.”

“Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us.  They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives.”  Unknown
