Milo
My boyfriend and I adopted a dog, Milo from you on December 4th 2012. I am sad to say that Tuesday March 17th, 2015 we had him put to sleep. He had developed osteosarcoma (bone cancer) and was diagnosed in September. Monday night he slipped and put all his weight on his bad side. He was in tons of pain (and already on a lot of painkiller to help with the bone cancer). We brought him into the vet to see if we had any options. His leg had broken right by his shoulder (in cancerous bone). His cancer had spread a lot. We decided we had reached a point of poor quality of life for Milo. We really miss our big goofy pup.

Hannah
I adopted my dog Hannah from your organization back in 2007. We have had many years of love and companionship with her since that time. Hannah was also in her adopters wedding. She lived a wonderful considering where she came from. Painted with gang markings from Rosie's red lake to a wonderful forever family who adored her. Even though she was lost to an aggressive illness, she will always be remembered and loved. Hannah was a special girl, inside and out. WE LOVE YOU!

Cricket
This dog named cricket was adopted by me two in a half years ago from you. She has past away. I figured you guys needed to know. She past away Sunday around nine in the morning. Her full name is cricket momma Quinn.

Malakai
This is Malakai's 2014 Christmas picture. It is with a heavy heart that lost my very best friend Malakai, on January 13, 2015. I was lucky enough to adopt him from MARS on March 24, 2011 and we were a great match! Malakai was my best friend and went just about everywhere with me. When I got sick he was right by my side helping me to recover. I am just not the same without him. He loved my teenage son and all of his friends, as well as my brother's MARS dog, Conrad. Malakai had a large mass in his abdomen that was very mean and aggressive. I would have done anything to save him, but in the end, I had to allow him to go to the Rainbow Bridge where I know he will be waiting for me. He is missed more than I can even say.

Hattie
It is with a very heavy and broken heart that I am emailing you to let you know that my little Hattie has passed. I adopted her on April 28, 2014 and working on her potty habits were extremely challenging I have never regretted adopting her. I gave her the best gift of all on 12/24 – freedom. Freedom from pain and freedom from the bad memories of abuse and neglect. She was starting to suffer from geriatric vestibular disease, arthritis, kidney disease and lower spinal issues. It was only recently that she started to cuddle and let me hold her in my arms and I am grateful for those moments. I tried to spoil her as much as possible – she had a definite weakness for poached chicken bits and I swear that it made her smile each and every time she had a treat. She such a sweet and beautiful little dog and she deserves to be seen and remembered. ld like to donate her things to MARS as I know she would approve. I would so love to give the food to you. I know she would want to help as there are so many dogs in need.
