Dear Friends and Family,
This past weekend, the unthinkable happened for us. One of our two 13 week old puppies passed on. Lucy had always been small, but we just thought it was one of the quirks of being a mutt, as it turned out, she was afflicted with a severe liver disease that stunted her development and left her prone to severe illnesses. She fought as hard as she could, but sadly, she wasn't meant to be with us for as long as we would have liked.
We had rescued her and her sister from Last Day Dog Rescue only a month earlier. During Lucy's brief illness and after her death, they immediately reached out to us. We discovered that two of Lucy's sisters had not yet been adopted. There were 7 adorable puppies in the beginning, so we were shocked to learn that they hadn't all found a home yet. LDDR blessed us with one of her sisters, which as been a great comfort to our other puppy and to us as puppy parents.
That left Jambalaya still without a home for the Holidays. I was hoping she would have been adopted at an event over the weekend, but it was not her day. So I have made it my mission, in honor of our 'Saint' Lucy, to help Jambalaya find a home. Please take a look at her picture below. We believe they are boxer/pointer mix. She is about 13 lbs and is approximately 13 weeks old. The foster mom tells me she is really energetic and loves playing with other dogs of all sizes. At the adoption event she really seemed to love kids, so I think she'd be a great addition to any family looking for a furry friend. She is a bundle of energy and joy and I hope that you will forward this information to help me accomplish this goal.
If Jambalaya isn't for you, maybe you'll be able to find another friend that would fit your lifestyle and family. There are puppies of all sizes, dogs, cats and kittens as well. Even if you're not in a position to adopt, I hope you will forward this email. Animals are hit hard during difficult financial times. I met a puppy at the adoption event who was given up by his heartbroken owner when she lost her home that week. So please consider giving the Last Day Dog Rescue calendars or apparel as a holiday gift this season to help them with all their good work. This rescue is one of the most remarkable I've ever encountered and travels many states away (Jambalaya and family were rescued from a kill-shelter in Tennessee) in an effort to save innocent animals from shelters that euthanize with gas. They do great work and are worthy of as much support as I can help generate and even more than that.
Please forward this to everyone you might know in the Southeast Michigan and Northern Ohio area. It would mean the world to us if we were able to get some of these puppies adopted in honor of Lucy, especially her sister. Thank you for reading my story and I hope you can find it in your heart to help this holiday season.
