Heartbreak

It is with a heavy heart I must share that Sammie did not make it out of recovery. She soldiered through her surgery like a trooper, but afterwards, the infection got the best of her. We are utterly heart broken.  There was such an overwhelming outpouring of love and compassion towards her. 

Unfortunately, Sammie is just one face of many. There are untold numbers of animals just like her out there who have been neglected and abused. We need stricter punishments for those who do these things. 

If you live in Ohio...please support HB 274 in her honor:   http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=130_HB_274 

Let me know if you need help contacting your senator. I will do whatever I can to put a stop to this kind of abuse.  I can provide you with contact info, a letter to send, or general direction.

You can also check out this blog for further help on letting your senator know this isn't ok.  Dying at the age 5 is far too young.

Sammie may not have lived to run with abandon with a body free of tumors. Sammie may not have lived to cuddle with someone who would give her a forever home.  But she was loved, if ever so briefly. All of your support - be it sharing the word, donations, emails of concern- all expressions of love.  

Please keep her memory alive by preventing this from happening to others.
