BUBBALOO - July 26th, 2007
In October of 2006 we adopted Bubba from the QAS.
Bubba was an older cat and he was at the Shelter
because his previous owner had passed away. As soon
as we opened the cage he climbed right up onto
Kristen's lap then onto her chest and he placed his
paws over her shoulder and he started purring the
loudest purr either of us had ever heard. We were
"sold"! Shortly after bringing him home the odd little wart on
his head went away and he got along quite well with our
other cat Zoe. Unfortunately in May of 2007 we
noticed that is stomach was getting bigger and bigger. We brought him to the VCA in Weymouth and found out he had cancer that basically had no treatment options. We spoiled him like crazy for the last two months of his life and as sick as he was he never lost his desire to purr... Although he was only with us for a very short time, he seemed quite happy and we loved having him in our home.

Caesar, Calvin, Clarissa, Clara and Carley
In loving memory of Caesar, Calvin, Clarissa, Clara and Carley. Taken way too soon by a virus while in foster care. "Pumpkins", you were without a doubt the sweetest litter we ever fostered, and we are completely heartbroken by your loss. You were only on this Earth for a very short time, but boy did you bring great joy to our family. You all seemed so happy healthy and full of life until the last two days, so we hope we brought you joy in your short lifetime as well. Caesar and Carley, you were already loved by two other families, that had filled out applications for you...they miss you as well...and Calvin, Clarissa and Clara we know that you would have found wonderful forever homes as well. Rest in peace, Sweethearts...we loved you. We will never forget your sweet faces.
Love, Cheryl & Wally, your foster Mom & Dad
SHELBEY - JULY 27th, 2007
Shelbey's happy journey in life ended on July 27, 2007.
She was a very special dog.
She was diagnosed with diabetes are the tender age of three.
She did not let her illness ruin her life.
She made just about everyone smile and happy.
That was her gift in life.
She would have been 12 years old this September.
She will be missed very much.

LUCKY - JUNE 28th, 2007
We just wanted to let you know that we had to put Lucky down last week.
We adopted her form the Quincy Animal Shelter almost 2 1/2 years ago. She had been at the Shelter for almost 9 months, and no one wanted her because of her medical condition and her age. My wife Maegan and I adopted her and we couldn't have been happier having her as part of our family for the last few years. She was a wonderful dog and she will be greatly missed.

TRINITY - Sept. 7th, 2006
We would like to inform you of Trinity's passing.
We adopted Trinity from your shelter in October of 2002 when she was just 3 months old.
Trinity moved all the way across the country to Draper, Utah in 2004.
She passed away on September 7th, 2006 from non-regenerative anemia brought on by Hemobartonella.
Trinity was the brightest light in our lives.
She was our "Wubby" and we will miss and love her forever.
She will be laid to rest at 'Angels Rest' at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah.
We wanted to let everyone at the Shelter know and wanted to thank you for all the work you do there,
and for bringing Trinity into our lives even for such a short period of time.
Thanks again and God bless,
- Meg & Drew Card
MARIO - 7/12/02 - 12/16/05
In Memory of Mario "Kitty Boy" Luigi Sullivan, survived by his parents and two siblings, who succumbed to an autoimmune disease, immune- mediated thrombocytopenia.
Though he fought his best against this disease that onsets suddenly, the outcome is almost always the same, and Mario's vivacious six pound body was just no match.
Although loved by all in my family, Mario was the #1 man in my life.
There was no one he would not defy to get to me, no risk he would not take to be in my arms; the little guy thought I gave birth to him, and he was more than "just a dog" to me; he loved me unconditionally, and he knew I felt the same for him.
He was a character so full of energy that it was a rare occasion when anyone saw him sleeping or sitting still for more than a minute, and ready to play anytime (sometimes at three in the morning).
While no words or actions can ever take away the void in my heart he leaves behind, Mario had such a zest for life that he would want to make sure that no one else that loves a dog the way I loved him should be denied a dog for lack of ability to pay, or should have to watch their dog suffer and die needlessly if there be a cure.
Please accept this donation in memory of my Mario and use it in the way most needed at the Shelter.
- Christine M. Sullivan
