ROCCY Photo by Ken Ulappa

News from Alums

ROCCY WAS HARD to place because he is an older dog and large. But he found his forever home in 2005. This year his family put him on their Christmas card, and here’s what they wrote:

“The 10-year 'old man' has settled in and is the lump and love of our lives...He is a healthy 74 lbs and in great tone physically...He runs full speed with reckless abandon when he can and it still is funny and graceful for a dog of 60 to 70 years.”

10 years-old

EACH DOG IS SPECIAL, but some leave lasting attachments. Cassie singled out POOCH director, Joan Dalton, and befriended her. Joan nearly adopted Cassie herself but then found Ronald and Shauna Snow. They welcomed Cassie into their home and hearts, took her with them when they moved out of state, and kept in touch with cards and letters.

In December the Snows called to say that Cassie had been diagnosed with cancer. Then, in January, they sent the sad news that Cassie had died. Our condolences go to the Snows on the loss of a beloved member of their family.
