Perhaps more than any other dog we’ve rescued, Bishop was the ideal poster dog for Reach Out Rescue and Resources. Old, black, sick and abandoned, and with most likely at least a little hound in the mix, he personified our criteria for those dogs most in need. Sweet, gentle, loving, and patient; these words also describe Bishop. He was picked up as a stray in Berkley County, WV, woefully emaciated and came to RORR on January 4th. Nothing more than skin and bones, he was sometimes too weak to stand. But his tail wagged gratefully for every morsel he ate, every touch of a hand, every kind word. And his big brown eyes were known to stare into your own and reach down to touch your heart. We all cheered every ounce he gained, and despaired at each set back. Bishop passed over the rainbow bridge this morning, just six weeks after he came to us. In that time, he touched the lives and hearts of people throughout our rescue and our friends on Facebook, but none more than Carolyn and Wally Bishop, who gave him a warm place to rest his weary bones, food to nourish his body, and encouragement and love to feed his soul. Never again to be hungry, or fearful, or tired, or in pain; Bishop, may you run free and play in the joy that we had hoped to witness. Bishop's ashes will be scattered in Angel Field at Finale Farm with the other dear departed angels. |
Teddy (formerly known as Blaise) was one giant, fluffy lovebug. After an unknown length of time spent roaming out in the harsh WV winter, this sweet and gentle boy found a home full of love, couch naps with his big, soft head in his mommy’s lap, playtime in the snow, and endless belly rubs. Teddy’s full adopted name was Teddy Valentine, (since he looked like a Teddy Bear and was adopted over Valentine’s weekend), and his new owner thought he was pretty much the best Valentine’s gift she’d ever received. He had the most sweet and gentle disposition, and was the kind of dog every owner hopes to find. Sadly, within a few days of his adoption, poor Teddy showed signs of several serious medical illnesses, and after an agonizing week of tests, treatments, hospital stays, and prayers, sweet Teddy succumbed to his illnesses. In his brief time with his adopted mommy, for every bit of love he received, he gave it back tenfold. He touched the hearts of everyone he met along his journey, and he will never be forgotten. Who knew that so much love could be found in such a short amount of time? Rest in peace, sweet boy. Love you furever. xoxo
My BRETT has crossed the bridge!!! Run free you can now breath easy! I love you with ALL of my heart & more!!
It was with a sad heart that I had to let two of my dogs, Britney and Brutus (former RORR dog), cross the rainbow bridge. Britney was a Border Collie/Lab mix that we adopted in 2005 at the age of 6. When we first adopted her she didn’t even know what a toy was. During her 9 years with us she learned to love her stuffed toys, as well as long walks and visiting streams. We fostered Brutus, age 13, before adopting him and making him an official part of our family. Although we only had him for one year, he was the sweetest boy who just wanted to be with his family and had a remarkable love for life.
