PEKES WE REMEMBER #3

 Some of us who have fostered for PVPC for a long-time and they wanted to share some that have been in their lives.   Barbara and Ty are a couple who have fostered for many years.   They sent me pictures of some they have loved.  

Rosie came to us in June 2017.   She was blind and deaf, a beautiful albino with a fluffy white coat, blue eyes and a pink coat.   She had the sweetest face.  She had a year of love before she passed away.  

Mandy came to rescue in October of 2018.   We had been told she was blind, but we also found out she was deaf, needed eye surgery, and had heart and kidney issues.  She couldn't tolerate surgery.   When you can't fix their pain, there aren't a lot of choices.  She was with them almost a month before she left, surrounded with love.  

 

Taffy Sue came into rescue in December of 2018.  They picked her up during a snowstorm.  She was a PVPC alumni and due to health issues, her mom could no longer take care of her.  She loved to be around people and was so sweet. She passed away in March 2019.

Rosie Too (since we already had a Rosie) came into rescue in June 2019.  She didn't fit in most places, so Barbara and Ty took her in.  She left an imprint on their hearts.  Her face was always filled with love and hope.  She had trachea issues, but she kept going at her own pace.   One morning, they woke up to find she had left them.  They had her almost 6 years. 

Josie - November 2022-January 2023

Barbara wrote this about precious Josie.  

"Being raised in a military family Josie's situation rang a bell with me. Her mom Kyna needed to leave her girl behind while she was deployed out of the country. Josie had special needs and required someone with Peke experience to keep her safe while her mom was away. Our hope that despite being an older girl (14-16) who had health issues (that we watched carefully)  was that Josie would be safe in our care until her mom was home again in July. Kyna missed her girl so I took lots of pictures and shared them on a regular basis. But unfortunately Josie passed in her sleep in late January."  Josie especially loved her foster dad, who adored her.   She looked for him every morning when she woke up and he was always ready to take care of her, hand feed her and take her outside.  

They have loved many more, and they opened their home to Snickerdoodle and Jellybean from the Christmas rescue.   They are thriving at their home.  

DeeGee came to our rescue a little over a year ago.   She was in a shelter and they asked for help.  DeeGee needed help-- like most do.  She stayed at my house and had a lot of her vetting done, and then she went to Barbara's.  DeeGee is a little girl and she has a spunky personality.   She is a permanent member of the family now. 

Sweet Denver.  I picked him up from a shelter near me.   Barbara offered to foster him and that was it.   Denver has his forever home.  

Fostering is a sweet, sometimes challenging adventure.  We find so much love in it. 💙💜
