Our rescue friends Phil & Becky Gang, have donated "In memory of 'Harrison' our foster/hospice Shepherd we rescued from the high kill shelter in Vegas"

They wrote: "Harry was at least 10 years old and dumped at the high kill shelter with a "boney mass" on his forehead. We brought him into our home and gave him 3 months of good food, treats, a soft bed and managed his health issues until he could no longer be comfortable. He loved to lay right in the middle of the kitchen and block the pantry door and the freezer drawer of the fridge and I fondly referred to him as my speed bump. We believe that he lived outside full time and eventually was dumped because of his health issues. He was a stubborn old man, had a big heart and taught us a lot about life. He loved tennis balls but most of all he loved his new Dad. It was very hard for them to say good-bye but we know that he's on the other side now and in no more pain."

Sending our sympathy and gratitude, dear friends
