It is with great sorrow that we had to let Penny pass on to rainbow bridge today. Although her bloodwork and X-rays were good the growth was around her heart and blocking her valves. The doctor recommended letting her pass peacefully rather than having her recover because the mass that had spread throughout her body could burst at any moment and it would be a painful death for her. She will be missed & was loved dearly.

Adopted 2009- My name is Remington. I was brought to a high kill shelter with a 4 in gash under my right arm. When my owners never picked me up, I was doomed. However, a volunteer was at the animal shelter helping another dog, when I was brought to her attention. The volunteer immediately called her animal hospital and the WONDERFUL vet, said bring me in & the vet fixed my wound. I have been adopted to a wonderful home and I spend my days being spoiled by my mom with my dog and cat siblings.

Hello this is Storm a 10 yr old lab. She was rescued from Kansas and brought to the Maxfund.
