Cody
I fostered many dogs through MARS, but always knew I wanted a dog of my own. In 2009, Kiefer entered my life as a foster dog. He was an adorable 12-week-old vizsla lab mix with a zest for life. It very quickly became clear that he was what was missing from my life and I adopted him. I renamed Kiefer to Cody in remembrance of a farm dog I spent time with while growing up. Over the years Cody did everything with us: car rides, hiking, bike rides, cabin trips, swimming, running, boating, sing-alongs, holiday celebrations, and endless cuddling. Up until the very end, Cody was still the same independent, quirky, active, lovable dog I met over 16 years ago. Cody will forever be my soul dog. We connected in a way I can't explain. He was more than a dog or a pet - he was my chosen family. Cody lived a full, spoiled, happy life surrounded by his adoring family. Our family isn't complete without you here, Cody Boy.

Coralie
Coralie was in terrible condition when she arrived at our rescue as she was coming from a very sad situation. Coralie went to a foster home with two other dogs and kids when she got here. Her love for others and desire for love in return was so apparent. The day after her arrival it was found that her lungs were too full of fluid and her time to cross the rainbow bridge had come. Even though it was very hard on the foster family, they held onto the fact that she got to experience a full day of unconditional love and acceptance without fear of being mistreated in her last hours or being in a concrete cell. You can see her love and gratefulness for the comfort and care she was given in the pictures. She brought sadness yet gratefulness and love to the hearts of her fosters and they will never forget what they were able to share with her. “We will see you on the other side of the bridge when that day comes sweet Coralie!”

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.
