Our Story of Sarge, His Survival & Love, is now the story of the Final Goodbye.

Sarge left the Earth.  With his passing, he was able to take his experience of Love, Trust, Hope, and Thankfullness to the other side.  This little guy learned so much in the 5 years that we gave to him, we also learned from Sarge.  His twisted, abused body, and his bruised soul was able to move through the past and into the experience of Love.  Sarge was able to move to the next life with the knowledge of Human Love, Kindness and Compassion.  For this is the message that each human should give, not just to a Rescue dog, but to all mankind, and all living things on Earth.

My heart is sad, yet at peace, knowing we did all that we could to make sure that one soul knew there was hope for mankind.  Sarge passed with the love or our family, and the deep love and compassion of Dr. Jeff Chalkley at Westbury Animal Hospital in Houston.  We are blessed to have known Sarge.

Give your pet a kiss, thank your vet for his/her endless service to living souls that can not tell mankind their needs.  Be kind to someone today,  give a smile to someone in need and remember Old Sarge, your life will be enriched each time your give the gift of kindness.

Good Bye Sarge... You are Missed & Loved!

A bit about me and my dog. . .:

My dog is Sarge. Sarge is our rescue dog. He came into our lives 5 years ago at the age of 15. Sarge is now 20 years old.  He was from a major puppy mill, blind, toothless, frail, atrophied legs, heart condition... poor ol' guy had it all. But, we took him in on Valentines day.

What We Did

On Valentines day, 5 years ago, we took in Sarge. At 15, and from a puppy mill, he had many medical hurdles. Toothless, blind, frail, heart issues, unable to be mobile in a stable way, we could not walk away. My husband and I had to rescue this dog so that when it was his time to leave the Earth, he would know that humans could be trusted. It took almost 3 years for him to fully trust us. He is much more frail now, but still has fight left in himself. He wants to live, and fights all of the uphill battles to stay with us.

How We Did It

We have been able to help Sarge by EXCELLENT medical care given by Maple Hills Vet Hospital in Allentown, PA. www.maplehillsvets.com With the expert help of Dr. Abbey Banzhof and her father, Dr. Ken Banzhof, and 2 Vet nurses... Hillary and Bethany, they have given endless hours in ICU, working endlessly to save him, love him, help him, which has allowed us more time to spend with this wonderful pug. We have moved this year to Houston... the excellent care has continued with the devoted, loving  help of Dr. Jeff Chalkley of Westbury Animal Hospital. www.westburyvets.com. Without  the state of the art hospital and round the clock ICU, Sarge would not be able to overcome his downturns that happen from time to time.  Medical care is needed for Pets as well as mankind.

Lessons Learned

I have learned that the senior dogs often teach us many lessons about ourselves. They teach us that pets as well as people are often misused, abused, and toss by the wayside when no longer needed. The lesson, mankind can be trusted! There are many members of the human race that are kind, loving, and care about the well being of all living things on the Earth. There are those that never give up, but continue to fight the battle with those in need. We have learned that we each have the capacity within ourselves if we just look. Reaching out to this little pug has brought many levels of enrichment & perseverance.
