Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on
5/9/2023

The first time we met Stella she got loose from the foster
and my husband chased her several blocks and finally caught
her. Stella was the leader of the pack but loved her rescue
sisters Betty and Sofia and loved to play all day. She hated
swimming probably because she couldn't swim! She was part
boxer and enjoyed being vocal, almost talking, to her
humans. She learned American Sign Language from her human
mom and had a vocabulary of about 10 words. Stella loved a
good butt rub and her security blanket especially nice and
hot, right out of the dryer. We will never forget our 'Stellaaaa'! |

I knew Bogey would be in my life when I saw his adoption
bio. We were a perfect match! The day the transport arrived,
I put his leash on and after greeting all the other
transport dogs, he walked right to my car and jumped in his
kennel. He never left my side! He had a lot of energy and
could jump so high that I, initially, was worried he would
jump over the fence in the backyard. I am thankful and
blessed to have had him. He was a rescue, but my Bogey
rescued me! He will forever be in my heart and is greatly
missed! |

Tilly was the best girl ever! She had the sweetest
disposition, and loved to be scratched behind the ears. When
she wasn’t outdoors, sniffing and chasing the critters in
the yard, she was laying in front of the patio door watching
them. She brought 15 years of love and joy into my life for
which I am ever grateful! I miss her with all my heart!

year has been difficult in that we lost Penny and three
other family dogs in the last three months. Penny was our
constant companion. She loved our daily walks but never
really learned to play but she was always ready for a treat
or some affection. She enjoyed riding in the car and made
many trips to see the kidos with us. She had her problems,
including losing an eye to a tumor. She was always accepting
of other dogs and loved everyone she met both little and
big. She will live in our hearts forever.

wanted to be wherever we were and loved getting to know
anyone that came over. He also helped us raise our two boys.
He was THE BEST dog for our family. Thanks to all of the
volunteers and staff that made it possible for Pete to find

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on
10/27/2022


The moment I saw Riley’s puppy photo on the Tailwaggers
website, I felt an unexplainable connection with him. He had
a sweet disposition and a fun, sometimes quirky,
personality. I called him my personal alarm warning system
(PAWS) as he once alerted me to smoke billowing into the
basement, and once to a leak in the roof that was dripping
into an extra bedroom. Riley also had the most expressive
eyes I have ever seen in a dog! He was my heart dog, and the
love of my life!

Tip had a unique personality…he was selective on those he
liked. But those he liked would receive a ton of kisses and
a high five when he saw you coming up the steps. We used to
foster and Tip was our 1st foster fail. He had picked my
husband to be his person from the day we picked him up. All
throughout his life he made sure to sneak up on his dad’s
lap periodically even though he never understood that he was
way too big. He was a huge part of the family and will be
forever missed.

Wyatt was my shadow. He loved to pull the stuffing out of
all his toys, never ate it but that was his thing. He loved
fetching, he was a great runner. He was our heart and soul.
In his later years he had limb issues and was slow to rise
and lower but his heart wouldn’t allow him to give up. We
will miss him tremendously.

4 Years Old
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on
7/27/2022

Zeke was our dream dog. Zeke came to us from a home where
his ears were each cut and he had to fight through two
rounds of heart worm treatment. Zeke was so sick coughing up
blood and me pleading with the vet to do something. The vet
thought he might live to 8 years old if we were lucky. Zeke
fooled everyone. He died at almost 17 years of age. He was
gentle as can be, would visit nursing homes with me to
brighten patients lives, and never left my side. Zeke always
wanted to please and that he did. Zeke is so missed by us
and all his furry brothers and sisters.

Year Adopted

Age

5 Months
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on
7/23/2022


Rylee was simply the best. "The Queen" as my daughter would
call her. She enjoyed car rides, walks, and absolutely loved
to chase waves. The sound of waves excited her. She was the
first to say hello in the mornings. She loved people. She
did not like when you dropped the remote or phone. If she
wanted my attention while I was on my phone, she would put
her nose under my hands and flip the phone out of my hand
(or try to) She LOVED her butt scratched and behind her
ears. She would come over and put her head to the ground
with her butt in the air (and your face) and have you
scratch her butt. In her younger years, she would run around
our yard as quickly has she could (butt on fire..lol) she
also could jump fairly high- especially trying to get the
Frisbee. She only barked if the doorbell rang, or if she saw
another dog walk by. When she was 7 (2016) , she was
diagnosed with Addisons.. we almost lost her but she fought
back hard. In January 2022, she started to slow down a lot,
arthritis in her back and most recently they found a mass on
her liver. Our last days with her we made sure she would
chase waves one more time, so we took her to the beach. We
miss her terribly, the house is quieter without her here.

cooking and loved getting any scraps of veggies or fruits we
would give her. Carrots were her favorite.

Emma was a very sweet little girl full of anxiety. She loved
her canine brothers and always looked to them for comfort.
Emma became to trust her family and groomer. She loved walks
and loved to rip her toys apart minutes after she got them.
You could always find Emma with a toy in her mouth. 3 years
after we had her she started having severe seizures. We
tried everything and the vet thought she had a brain injury
from her prior short life. Emma fought but she couldn’t
overcome the seizures. There isn’t a day that goes by I
don’t think of my sweetie.

Jasmine Rose was the best girl we could have ever dreamed
of. She became family in large part to be our daughters
first best friend and longtime protector. From day one until
the last she was that and SO much more. Jasmine provided
unconditional love, comfort, playfulness, strength,
protection, and a special kind of snarky sass. She lived her
life chasing tennis balls, playing with her 4 legged brother
Casanova (on her terms of course), and sunbathing at every
chance! She was the ‘Queen Bee’ of the house and she knew
it. Food and belly rubs made you immediately her friend for
life. Jazz gave her everything to the ones she loved and we
are forever grateful to say that we made her list! We miss
her deeply everyday and will forever love her.

Guinness |
Adoption Name
Bones
Year Adopted
2015
Age
Adopted
2 Years
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on
4/11/2022

Bones came to us from an Adoption event. Patrick brought him
home after he went to look at puppies. Guinness was not a
puppy. He was an adult dog ( estimating 2-3 years) and he
had been returned to TW911 TWICE! He was returned twice
because on the surface they weren't good home fits. He was
returned in reality because he was meant to come to my home.
He was called a "rescue" and he was a perfect being who
rescued me and our family over and over. His soul searching
eyes, his equally playful, feisty, and gentle nature, and
his handsome crossed gentleman paws created a connection
with every person he met and changed many minds around how
pitbull/mutts were perceived. His big block head and
seemingly sun glowing amber eyes could look intimidating
from down the street but his kindness and gentleness were
his core traits. I think maybe he was grateful to be in a
home with many belly rubs and comfy beds and couches which
he was welcomed on happily. He could act like velcro or sit
quietly alone under a tree in a majestic pose. He loved
wiggling on his back and barking at the sky. He loved a car
ride and insisted if his people started their day with
coffee he needed some whip cream too. He tried swimming and
acupuncture in the last months for comfort and I don't know
he loved swimming pools but he did love poking the creek for
frogs. He left us far sooner than expected due to a
peripheral nerve sheath tumor which was wrecking his fun
spontaneous life and to the end he was ever present for me
and held my leg and hand to comfort me as he started the
adventure across the bridge. Guinness was EPIC on this
earth. I hope he has found boundless energy and movement and
joy with the other family pet loves from my life. He is
deeply missed.

Clifford was the most amazing boy ever. He had the biggest
heart. Loved every single person he met and just wanted
hugs. He really did rescue me. We went on so many adventures
together. He would only howl when I would howl at him first
and we’d have conversations. I have no idea what I was
saying but he was happy. Haha He’s the best thing to ever
happen to me and not a day goes by that I don’t think & talk
to him. He will always hold a big piece of my heart. Thank
you for the memories, tootie. I will see you again. Love,
