When they say dogs leave paw prints on our hearts, it is so very true.  My Baby was found in a field with her siblings.  She was tiny, but had the cutest four white paw tips.  The family wouldn’t pick out a name, so Baby it was.   And she was the baby for sure!  She learned real fast about sitting, shaking hands(paws) and to give kisses and ‘other paw’……. She would never ever roll over for me though!  Baby was my dog bond,...

I got Joey when he was 6 weeks old from a box in front of Walmart when I was just a teenager.  He became known as the "Walmart dog."  Joey stayed with me and my husband for almost 16 years and touched our lives.  He was not just a dog, but our kid, protector, and best friend.  He got to be apart of so much of our lives...college, marriage, our first home, second, third...our 2 beautiful children being born.  Every part of mine and my husbands adult life has...

Slocum was a big boy with a big heart. He loved everyone and was just super sweet. He was probably the tallest dog we ever had, and was also very handsome. 2012-2018

Gunny (black) and Squeaker (white) were littermates who adopted us as kittens when we served as missionaries in Amman, Jordan.  When we went to the Middle East we had to leave our two beloved dogs behind because Muslims traditionally disdain dogs, but it wasn't long before we just had to have a "fur fix."  Cats are tolerated in the ME, but are typically no more than vermin roaming the streets and living out of dumpsters.  We were fortunate enough to have a...

My wife and I adopted Frank from the Humane Society in 2004 when he was a pup. He lived with us for over fourteen years. He was a big-hearted dog, curious, joyful, tender. At age two he became a licensed pet therapy dog, visiting children and elders in hospitals and nursing homes. Later he trained to sniff out people’s missing cats. We formed a company called “Lost Cat Finders of Memphis,” and were featured on the Channel Five Action News. What we’ll remember most...

Deuce had a wonderful 12 years on this earth. He had the very important roll of being big brother to his human little brother, Caiden, and to his fellow brother and sisters Ace, Bell, Riley, and Onyx.   He always knew how to make his mommy smile and loved playing with his daddy.  He is truly missed in our home.  We are grateful to Peebles for their services so that his brother Caiden can spread his ashes next to his grandpa's in Panama City Beach next year. 

We will never forget the day Jack picked us to be his family.  We had chosen his sister to be our new puppy, but as we were walking to the truck, Jack followed behind us and . . . haha we left with two puppies instead of one. Jack lived for fifteen years.  He was a friend, companion and just a good 'ole "hound dog." "Jackson Puff" will always have a place in our hearts! Charlie & Sandra Hunt

We are thankful God created Belle for our family and gave us 13(+) years as her people.  She was one of the BEST DOGS EVER!  Such a sweet & gentle personality. . . typical for a Lab. She was a great duck dog (but hated that neoprene vest!)  She enjoyed riding the 4-wheeler while hunting or even just around the yard.  Her heart & mind outlasted her body . . . her tail wagged to the very end.  She will be missed immeasurably. “A righteous man cares for...

Our sweet boy Jack crossed over the Rainbow Bridge August 5, 2018. He had been a great addition to our family for 10 years.  He was found in East Tennessee and brought to the West Tennessee Border Collie rescue where we adopted him on October 11, 2008.  He followed his Mommy around the house everyday and waited by the door every evening watching for his Daddy to come home from work.  He also loved his brother and had to adjust to him being gone to college and was happy to have...

They say that we are all sent here on a mission.  Ellie was a few months shy of being 3 years old.  She came from a puppy mill at 5 weeks of age.  I nursed Ellie back to health, and she became my shadow.  Everyone knew her at Starbucks.  She would even bark at the loud speaker for her "puppuccino."   Even though her life was short lived, she had been my saving grace during a domestic violence relationship.  Ellie was truly a therapy dog, that was...
