LBR is always there

There's one thing I've never understood about some humans. They can take us in, care for us, love us our whole lives -- and then when we need them most, at the very end, they just dump us like we don't matter. Look at this sweet girl.

She lived with one owner her whole life. She thought she was family. But now she's old and has lymphoma. It's time to help her peacefully to the Rainbow Bridge, where she can wait for her loved ones. But instead, she was DUMPED at a shelter so she'll die alone and scared and wondering where her family is!

Well, not while LBR is around!!

"Oh thank goodness, someone still loves me!" 

LBR volunteers jumped into action when we heard from the shelter. One of our volunteers raced against the clock to pick her up before the shelter closed for the night. He took her to one of our foster homes, who named her Chessa and gave her all the love she could handle.

Chessa will be helped to the Rainbow Bridge in the next few days. But she'll spend her last days in love and comfort, and our volunteers will be with her every step of the way. That's the way it should be. Momma knows that it can be unspeakably difficult to be there with your beloved pet as they cross to the Bridge. She knows what it's like to cry and feel like you can never stop. But if you really love your pet, if you really think they're family, then you owe it to them to make sure they feel your love and comfort at the end of their life. That's what they deserve.

Update: Chessa had a seizure this morning and passed away in the loving arms of her foster momma. Run free at the Bridge, sweet girl!
