Sad News - Skooter

Last week, an 11 year old Yorkie, Skooter, was surrendered to Rescue. During his whole lifetime, Skooter had never been to a vet. After years of neglect, Skooter developed end-stage congestive heart failure and now had very little time to live. I adopted Skooter yesterday evening and brought him home to Highspire. Skooter was comfortable, fed, warm and thoroughly loved every minute until he passed away in my arms at 4:45AM today.

Little Skooter had dashing good looks and a sweet, gentle temperament
. All of the Rescue folks who worked with Skooter were touched by his soft expressions of genuine appreciation for the care he received. We are so glad Skooter entered our lives, if only for a little while.
