Trevor came to us in 2008. Here I was with him, when I got him as my foster dog. Trevor was turned into a shelter in S.E. Virginia. He was
found by someone when they heard something scratching at their back door at
midnight. Trevor was standing there, in the cold, pleading to come inside.
The lady had NO idea how he got inside the fenced yard-- she assumes that
someone saw that he was wandering on a busy street and put him over her fence
where he would be safe. He was taken in for the night, fed, and given a warm
place to sleep. In the morning, she searched the local neighborhoods looking
for his guardians but was unable to find them. She would have held him
longer, but she had 3 boxers who did not want a small dog in their
domain.
Trevor was about 4 years old we thought, but he may have been older. It's so hard to know.
Trevor was adopted by Monica and Mark and he became their sweet boy. He would help look after their foster dogs for them-- here he was with Dublin.
Trevor had several strokes and seemed to come back after each one. But, this past week-end, he began to decline and his mom and dad knew it was time to say goodbye. He was on his mom's lap, in his favorite doggie bed. He was surrounded by love from the moment he came into rescue, until his last moment with his mom and dad. You will be greatly missed-- he was a joy. Rest now, sweet boy.
Oh what a sweet peke he was!
