Secluded Hearts Rescue

Lacey was pulled from her home in Memphis - from a cruelty situation - and taken to the shelter. She was pulled along with 17 other dogs - all were killed at the shelter, except for Lacey. She was one of the sweetest dogs I have ever known. She stayed in our rescue for six days and then suffered from a ruptured uterus - she was pregnant. She died at just one year of age - still a baby herself. Lacey - I will never, ever forget you . I hope oneday we will meet again at the bridge. I wanted to die with you that horrible night.

"HOPE" - Cocker Spaniel Mix 
Went to the Bridge on 5/9/2004

Hope was also a very sweet, and extremely brave little girl. She was pulled from the same shelter, a month later, and boarded at a vet in Memphis for three weeks before coming to us. She should have NEVER been put on that transport! As soon as I saw Hope, I immediately knew she was terribly sick. I rushed her  to the vet and was told she was dying of distemper. There was no hope and to try would have been insanely cruel. I only knew her for a short time, but I knew she was special. As sick as she was, she still wiggled her butt when I would pet her. She rested her head on my daughter's shoulder as we made the long drive to the vet's. I held Hope in my arms as she took her last breath and promised her we would meet again.

I LOVE YOU HOPE AND LACEY

*Please let Lacey and Hope be a reminder to you as to why it is extremely IMPORTANT to have your pets spayed/neutered and up to date on shots! If their "owners" would have done this, they would probably both still be alive and would have found their furever homes.
