Zoe and Faye
May was a rough
month for our dear friends and Phil & Becky Gang.
They lost their precious Zoe after nine wonderful
years and a long battle with Degenerative Myelopathy.
As a puppy Zoe had been in training as a guide dog
for the blind but washed from the program due to
allergies. Becky and Phil never let a physical
challenge stand in the way of adoption and took her
as their own at eleven weeks of age.
Just one week later they lost
their 12 year old Doberman, Faye, an ambassador for
her breed when she received an award from the Las
Vegas Chamber of Commerce for her work as a Therapy
Dog at Nathan Adelson Hospice. Their friend Karen
Buck made a donation to LVDDR in this special girl's
memory
Our thoughts are with you dear
friends

Hurricane
Hurricane lived his life,
nine full years, outside in a dirt lot.
Having never been socialized, he trembled
whenever people came around. Hurricane's
owner was putting his home up for sale, he
had already moved out with his other dog, he
left Hurricane behind. Volunteer Phil
and Becky Gang went to meet Hurricane and
couldn't bear to leave him so they loaded
him up and took him to the vet for a
thorough check up and blood work. The
bloodwork came back great and he appeared to
be in excellent health although he was so
scared, he stayed curled up in a ball in the
corner trembling. Monday morning when the
staff arrived at the animal hospital,
Hurricane had died in his sleep. The vet
feels he may have had a heart attack due to
the stress of the move. Please remember
Hurricane, he has gone onto his forever
home.

Kaleb
Sweet Kaleb
has gone on to wait at the rainbow bridge
for his loved ones. We pulled Kaleb from the
Lied animal shelter in hopes of
rehabilitating him but unfortunately he was
too old and weak. What a sweet, gentleman of
a Doberman he was during his stay here, I
wish we could have helped him more. In the
end, we helped to end his discomfort and
sent him peacefully on his way. We will miss
you old boy.
