Rest in Peace Little Boy.
At the end of 2010 a promise was made by a few of us in the quiet of vet services to a dying young boy who touched those he knew at HCAS. It was a brief moment in time for him. We warmed him with fluids and blankets and gentle strokes of loving touch on his depleted soul. He was our Christmas wish for a better year in 2011. We keep working to save lives. In spite of the anger we move passion to reason and do our job.
- The Reason
The words above are Pam Perry’s, Animal Abuse Investigator.
The pup was an abused pup who lived only long enough to know love a short time, but, became a ‘promise’.

We have a young male fawn pit named Blade in pen 120 who passed his PBA evaluation today. ( he is HW+ and looks rough ) but he has a heart of gold. We are looking for rescue.
**We are on-call next week for the Jury Trial for Harpo and Midas. As soon as I hear that we are a go for trial I will put the word out with courtroom details and times.

Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
