PET PROTECTORS MOURNS THE LOSS OF BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING ASHLEY
OUR FIRST RESCUE DOG
She was the driving force and start of PET PROTECTORS animal rescue. Ashley and many dogs like Ashley that are considered "never adoptable" have proved them all wrong.
Ashley - If only you could have talked and told us of your previous abuse and abandonment. I knew you were scared and just needed to have the time and patience to trust and love someone. I believed in you and you surely believed in me.
I knew that you could do it and I never had any doubt.
Others had little belief that you could be the warm, caring and loving pet you turned out to be and Linda and Mark helped you immensely. They gave you the chance that no one else was willing to do.
You had a wonderful life and I was lucky enough to be able to see and visit you throughout your many years of a wonderful, happy, unbelievable life. I thank God you were able to have all that and know that so many people loved you so much.
You lived with several other rescued dogs and accepted all of them in time. You even had a few "special dog buddies" you lived with - most importantly you had Linda and Mark's love and caring and you knew that from the first day you came to their home.
On Monday, November 30, 2009 you went to dog heaven and I still can't believe you are gone. I was able to see you and talk with you the day before you passed. Thank you Ashley for your never ending love and affection you gave to me from day one, and because of you, and all your encouragement and motivation you were a big reason for my starting Pet Protectors, and rescuing, saving and protecting so many other dogs like you that would never be given a second chance.
