Moe’s story is one of both heartbreak and resilience, a journey that began on the streets of Houston and ended tragically but with love. When Moe came into my rescue, he was a shadow of himself—a malnourished, heartworm-positive Rottweiler, stripped of his fur and spirit, living in fear of humans. Each day, Moe would rush out of his kennel, do his business, and return to the safety of his shelter, avoiding any human touch. He had learned that the world was a dangerous place, and trust was a luxury he couldn’t afford.
 
But I saw past his fear and brokenness. I approached him gently, letting him sniff my hand, offering treats and kind words. For three months, it was a slow process, filled with small steps. Then one day, Moe allowed me to pet him. Eight months later, he gifted me with his first kiss—a moment so powerful that it brought tears to my eyes. From that day on, Moe’s Rottweiler personality began to shine. He would visit other dogs in their kennels, seek me out, and demand his daily kiss. I had done it—yI had given Moe a chance to be the dog he was always meant to be.
 
When Moe was finally heartworm-free, it was time to find him the perfect home. YI found an adopter who seemed ideal—she had the space, the love, and the understanding that Moe needed time to trust. For months, I prepared her, explaining the importance of patience and the need for Moe to be kept on a leash until he could adjust. She seemed ready.
 
But just one day after arriving at his new home, Moe got loose. He was hungry, scared, and running for his life in a strange place. Despite the efforts of neighbors, trappers, and even drones, Moe remained on the run for three weeks. His adopter hadn’t provided for him or shown him the love and care he so desperately needed. In the end, Moe was hit by a vehicle and died—far from the home I had hoped he would find, far from the safety and love I had promised him.
 
The loss of Moe was devastating, a failure not of love but of circumstance. Yet, even in his passing, Moe left a profound mark on everyone who knew him. His ashes were returned to my rescue, where he now rests with his friends. In my heart, Iknow that he was greeted at the gates by Samson, Zoey, Max, and the others, running free at last.
 
Moe’s life may have ended in tragedy, but his story remains a reminder of the power of love, patience, and dedication. He left paw prints on your heart and on the hearts of many.

 

 

 

 

On Tuesday July 11,2023. We helped Stella cross the rainbow bridge. This was extremely hard for me as a rescue.

My goal is to save animals. Stella was the first one we were with to help cross over. Her kidneys failed again. And she was in stage 4 renal failure. After talking with other pet owners who experienced renal failure. We did not want our girl to suffer on any level. It was obvious she was ready. She was miserable and even turned down a rib eye steak. 

Once we were loaded and ready to go to the dogter. She looked relieved. Once at the clinic it was evident. Stella showered us all with her sweet gentle kisses.  I stayed in the room with her until long after her heart stopped. I had promises her I would not leave her.
