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.

Bo
Sabin got his furever home with me, and resident cat, Ophelia, on May 5th, 2008. It is with a heavy heart and great sadness to share with you that Sabin passed away from cancer and surgical complications on Sept 9, 2014. The outpouring of support from family and friends only reflected what an amazing dog and best friend he was. Although our time together was too short, it was filled with amazing laughter and joy and created amazing memories. If/when another MARS alum joins my family, the dog will have big shoes to fill. MARS will always hold a special place in my heart for connecting me with my best friend. Some pics attached for your reference and enjoyment. Regards, Sheri Richter
