We have some heartbreaking Sanctuary news to share – our precious little Louie has gained his Angel wings. He left this world peacefully, on his own terms, snuggled up to his buddy Freddie.
We knew his time with us would be short, but we never expected it to be this short. Louie arrived at our Sanctuary from the NY ACC as a broken shell of a dog both physically and emotionally. His condition told us that his life was clearly not a good one, and we can only hope that his short time here with us at the very least taught him that not all humans are unkind.
With much needed medical care and TLC Louie began to come to life. He became bright, alert, developed a fabulous appetite and even began to gain some much needed weight. He was social and made a couple of great friends both of whom he had a lot in common with – all are blind, and they knew they needed each other and spent lots of cuddle time together.
Despite facing health challenges, his happy spirit never wavered; he touched our lives briefly but profoundly. And although he would get a bit testy at times with us humans, he was pure love and just wanted to be close to those he loved. His presence will be dearly missed.
You will always live on in our hearts Louie; you were taken way too soon. We were blessed to have known and been able to love you with our whole hearts!
IF LOVE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER.

Rhank you for all you do day in and day out. So sorry for Louie’s loss. You all are fabulous. And yes, I wish love could save them all.
