IN LOVING MEMORY
A RESCUED DOG'S CHRISTMAS POEM
We wish to thank Richard, owner of Salty Dogs Boarding, Day Care and Training in SLC and wish him our heart felt love as he passed onto Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for always being there for the homeless dogs.
Denise wishes to let everyone know of a very special Angel of a woman and the most amazing and caring rescuer, Mickey Britton, the founder of 14 year old Utah Companion Golden Retriever Rescue. She was Denise's mentor when she created Save A Dog & KIds and guided her in this difficult work. 4,600 Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers were saved from being put down in shelters after their owners abandonned them thanks to Mickey and her Husband Bill. When Mickey brought a new Golden Retriever home from the shelter she would brush out all their knots, make sure they were loved and felt safe in her home, and she would get the donated blankets and treats to give to her new foster child. She and her husband Bill helped disabled kids and people get service dogs, they showed other rescues how 2 retired people could do so much for the dogs and the world. She was not only the mentor for our founder, but she was a mom to her and supported her when Denise did not think she could do this hard work of rescue. Denise will truelly miss Mickey and the world will not be the same without her.
Thank you to Reflections Services for pets for always lovingly, affordably and artisticly making the little velvet pouch, etched and lazered cedar box and paw prints of our angels that passed on. Click here to see more and contact them.
Booker T was thrown away by Utah Breeders of St. Bernards with his papers at age 14 mos. After some trouble with foster home in Park City, Lte. Mike Morgan retrieved him for us and we found the most amazing home with St. Bernard Experienced volunteer of Humane Society Karen Price and her husband. Booker T lived the most wonderful, loving, spoiled and responsible home life until the age of 8 when his legs no longer could get him up. Thank you Karen for giving Booker T the best home he could ever have.

BINKY a 5 lb senior little Pomeranian was just rescued through our Little Dog Angel Network in LA CA shelter. Thanks to Jeanine of Bichons and Buddies, Naomi and Richard Our OC volunteers that picked him up from clinic in Venice Beach and drove him down to San Diego to our foster mom Deb who also rescues little dogs. Thanks to all. From his foster mom: "Mr.. Binky is absolutely cute as a bug! He is actually even cuter than I thought he might be...he isn't skinny so don't worry about that, but he does have a cough and a sneeze. He ate some chicken last evening and slept very well...He also walked around with trouble but seems OK. I am a bit worried about his health -- he DOES seem fragile" Thank you to all our rescue friends: Jeanine of Bichons and Buddies in LA for pulling him and boarding him for us, Naomi and husband for picking him up, Ariel for driving him down to our Foster in San Diego, and Deborah for taking care of him for a week plus till our new driver Karen, Retired SDPD, who reallly was great to pick him, his paperwork and driving him to OC, and our friend CHarisse, who's Pom we love to babysit, that brought him here for us. HE gives kisses and is so trusting, and happy considering his back legs wont' hold him up. WE ARE ASKING ALL POM LOVERS TO PLEASE HELP US RAISE THE FUNDS TO HAVE BOTH PATELLAS OPERATED ON SO HE CAN STAND UP WITHOUT FALLING AND LIVE. OUT HIS LIFE THE WAY HE DESERVES. "Thank you I have fallen again and I can’t get back up." I am so appreciative and loving and give kisses when you pick me up. WIth GLucosamine and Flax Seed oil, I am walking better and so much better now. "He's adorable but I have way too many animals of my own and it would be irresponsible to take on anymore but I try to do what I can to help those in need. Years ago, I found a little dog in the pouring rain who couldn't move. I went to the door of the house to tell them about their puppy and they didn't make a move to help him and shut the door. I stood there for a minute and then scooped him up and took him to the vet. It wasn't good news and I opted to have the little sweetie euthanized. I have always regretted that...........didn't know about the carts then and I thought his life would be too hard. So, I thought in some way, this could honor that little boy." Binky's Cart is on its way, thank you Lori. Thanks Jane for offering to take him in with your senior little Poms. You have always been the SEnior Poms' friend.
We were so sorry that Binky's legs just could not hold him up at all anymore and when he could no longer use the cart or get up, we had to say goodbye. Thank you Dr. Taylor for always helping us let them up to Heaven in a such a nice loving way. We will miss you little Angel Binky. Thanks Pet Reflections for always doing such a beautiful job on their memory box, paw prints and engravings for a discount. |
 
 BJ,
a Pommeranian mix, was found running the
streets, after a week in the Utah County Animal
Shelter, he was picked up by Denise, xrayed his
right shoulder that he was limping on and xrays
showed that the crushed shoulder had atrophied
and could not be repaired. He limps but is
as happy, loving and friendly as can be. He runs
and jumps as if his leg was fine and gets so
excited to see you. He
loves every person he meets and curls up against
them. He also talks. He just had his
second dental and had a growth removed. Total
vet bills so far $500 and now he has a new
growth on his hind leg that needs to be removed,
but he is still lively, friendly and happy. His
cancer has travelled throughout his body and he is on antibiotics and
pain relief and we love him dearly. We will miss our little angel
that greeted everyone that came into our home. |

We hope to be able to adopt another like her in the near future....keep us in mind, Denise! here is a recent picture of our "little sweetheart"....we miss her SO much! Please keep us in mind if you get another little sweetie like Gracie. We like poodles as they are SO smart, as you know, and great for me with allergies...hope to talk to you soon!" Phyllis & Roger B. Park City, |
| After 2.5 weeks of EKGs, XRays, Heart MEds,
Transfer Factor Plus, feeding him anything he would eat, our poor little 12
yr. old Mickey at 4 lbs., with an enlarged heart in a rib cage too small for
it because of bad breeding, finally gave up his fight for life in my arms.
I cried a lot and will miss this sweet little angelic spirit so much, but
know he is at peace and loved in Heaven. 08/15/06

Our Dear Little Puff Puff just passed away in May 2006 and we will miss him so. He was deaf, from Pasadena Shelter in CA, flown to us after spending 3 weeks there with no one wanting him, by 3 volunteer pilots with their own planes thanks to Flyingpaws.org, thanks Marilyn and pilots, Bark Ave. in LA and volunteers that drove him for us. They thought he was around 14 yrs old and lived to 15. He loved to see Denise and smiled and pounced with his front paws like a happy puppy when he saw her look at him. We will miss him so. What an angel. Thanks Danielle at Koefran Services for donating the cute paw prints and engraving:

PUFF

to 14 yrs) little fragile/DEAF
7 lb. Pomeranian male was sitting in the
Pasadena Shelter for 3 weeks with no one wanting

PILOTS
NEEDED: FLYING PAWS
coordinates volunteer pilots to help special
needs and senior dogs in danger to get to
rescues nationwide. Puff
Puff the StayPuff Mini Marshmellow man is just
precious and not 14, who decided that? His teeth
are not tartar covered at all, his front teeth
not worn down, and his eyes not at all cloudy
which would put him around 5 to 8 only. He is
healthy, does have the Pommi Trachial cough all
Poms have, but not too often . He is just
precious. He does well with a harness, loves to
sleep in his doggie bed, sit on your chair with
you, and is pretty housetrained. What a little
sweetheart. He is very playful and expressive.
We adopted a dachshund from
Denise in 2000 after our Barney passed away.
Cheddar or as Denise called him (Chowder) has now passed away due to his
age. We really miss him alot. We have a little female named Penny who has
since became very lonely for a friend. We would like to adopt an
older(5+years) Male Dacshaund for her. We are NOT into the breeding. We are
in it for the love and companionship they bring us. We can be reached at
435-896-4371. We have a really nice fenced in back yard to keep the little
ones in and the big ones out. We believe that a pet in our family is our
child and well taken care of. If you could Please put us on a list for an
Older Male dacshaund we would deeply appreciate it because he would get the
unconditional love that he would need. Thank You David, Trish & Penny (Our
Little Bundle of Joy).
Minnie, 13 yr old Toy Poodle mom of Sammy was picked up by Denise in May of 2004 from Atlanta after her owner had died. She had been on so many medications, on a hypoallergenic diet, and sadly died in the night December 15th in Denise's arms. We will miss her. Sammy is doing great and found a loving mom that just loves Poodles.
*LITTLE MAN 9 year PUrebred REd Miniature Pekingese N.M. has had to have 3 surgeries trying to save his little front leg that had been broken and never cared for by his previous owners. His little rear dew claws and pads had to be removed surgically because his owners never clipped his nails and they had grown completely into the pads. He was limping all over the place. Thanks to help from HEEAB and Susie along with our funds, we were able to provide the $850 worth of surgeries he needed to try to repair his shattered leg. He has to be carried outside and loves his little room with soft pillows. He sleeps with Denise on her bed, and loves her dearly after 2 years of rehabilitation. He is the sweetest most loving Pekingese, gentle with all humans but prefers not to be with other dogs because he fears being knocked over. He has the most beautiful coat. Thank you Jeff in California for helping LIttle man get his needed surgery to remove his leg, we could not have done the $600 surgery without you. Thank you Dr. Law at Cottonwood Animal Hospital for giving us a $400 discount and doing such a great job. Littleman gets along great on his 3 legs.
| In Memory of our precious Littleman June 11, 2003. You had such a heart our little friend. He will be so loved over Rainbow Bridge but so missed here. Why did such a loving innocent little life have to suffer so much the first part of his life because of the negligence of humans? |
I'm writing to let you know that Pokey (Pocahontas) died of old age April 1st. She was a shar-pei and just the cutest girl you've ever seen. We adopted her in March of 2000 and instantly fell in love with her. She was THE BEST companion and we were very lucky to have her as a part of our family. Her "Pokey Kisses" and even her snoring is very much missed. We can't thank you enough for the endless efforts you have made to save these wonderful animals and allowing them to enrich our daily lives.

Kimosabe's picture to read his wonderful Owners' Christmas Letter 4
years after his adoption. We were so sad to hear that Kimo had a
sudden medical condition and passed onto Rainbow Bridge.
TEDDY
5 yr. N.M. Poodle/Maltese little sweetheart is a bundle of love.
Housetrained and loves to walk on leash. Great for mature adults who are
retired and want a great companion.
Adopted by great parents in Park City! We were so sorry to hear of his tragic accident in Florida. Mom and dad were so upset. We hope they will come adopt another little angel in the future. Teddy was so loving and trusting. You gave him a chance to be loved the second half of his life.
*NIKKI a 6 yr. S.F. Yorki/Shih Tzu tiny little girl has almost died from attacking 2 large dogs, and 3 hernias. She attacks every dog she meets and must be protected from them. She doesn't like kids. Otherwise she loves to be carried once you earn her trust and loves to sleep by your pillow. Still working on house training and her medical bills to date are $600. In Memory of our Beloved Nou Nou, we will miss you, our precious little girl.
MAX 6 yr. N.M. Wirehaired little Maltese mix. Loves to be with a retired man. Ok with grandkids. Obedience class included is mandatory.
He passed onto Rainbow Bridge last week at the Vet's office, and we will miss him very much. He had been suffering with kidney and hip problems for a long time with his owner who returned him to us, and yet was so loving. We don't know how old he was, but he was very old when we rescued him out of the shelter.
MOKI:
She rests peacefully and is flying through the air in heaven.
My
little Flying Excited Angel Moki passed on after 4 yrs in a cage of a
puppymill in missourri and then had 1.5 yrs of joy, love, playing with
Jazz, Pekingese Wrestling, running and flying through the air, and
loving to give me kisses. then due to her harsh puppymill neglect, no
more needing Phenobarbitol and no more seizures, but her kidneys failed.
I will miss her zest for live attitude. Jazz misses her too. Moki
reminded me of Little man who trusted me so because they knew how much I
loved them.
