Arrival Story:
Sunny was found wandering a busy road in Placerville, starved and covered with fleas, his age was estimated to be 13 or 14 years old. He spent a couple of weeks in the shelter there but his people never came for him. He was called "Sugar" by the shelter workers there because he was so sweet. When his time was up and no one had claimed him or adopted him, luckily for him he was transfered to South Lake Tahoe Animal Shelter where he captured the heart of a shelter worker. She took him home, cleaned him up, and then contacted Kim at Nor Cal Aussie rescue. He was taken to their sanctuary in Grass Valley where he spent 2 months being loved and cared for while he was waiting for his forever home. I saw his picture on their website and just could not resist his adoreable face. I stopped and met him and knew he had to come home with me. Sunny has been with me for over three years now and he is just the sweetest boy. He is a true "velcro" Aussie. He may have a couple "of hitches in his get-a-long" and he is now blind, but this boy is happy and has plenty of love to give. He is now on arthritis medications and enjoys a walk at the beach every day. I must give kudos to his dog brother Wesley for being so accepting of him as Wesley has been an "only child" for 8 years. Thank you Nor Cal Aussie Rescue for making sure this precious boy was given the chance to find a forever home. If you are looking for an Aussie to adopt or would just like to financially help this great organization, please visit their website. (norcalaussierescue.com). Please tell them Sunny sent you!
Bio:
Please consider adopting an older pet . . . . ."One by one, they pass my cage . . . too old, too worn, too broken, no way. Way past his time, he can't run and play. Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way. A little old man, arthritic and sore. It seems I am not wanted anymore. I once had a home, I once had a bed, a place that was warm, and where I was fed. Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail. Who wants a dog so old and frail? My family decided I didn't belong, I got in their way, my attitude was wrong. Whatever excuse they made in their head, can't justify how they left me for dead. Now I sit in this cage, where day after day, the younger dogs get adopted away. When I had almost come to the end of my rope, you saw my face and I finally had hope. You saw thru the grey and the legs bent with age, and felt I still had life beyond this cage. You took me home, gave me food and a bed, and shared your own pillow with my poor tired head. We snuggle and play and you talk to me low, you talk to me dearly, you want me to know. I may have lived most of my life with another, but you outshine them with a love so much stronger. I may be with you for a week or for years, we will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears. And when the time comes that God deems I must leave, I know you will cry and your heart, it will grieve. And when I arrive at the Bridge, all brand new, my thoughts and my heart will still be with you. And I will brag to all who will hear, of the person who made my last days so dear." Written by Leslie Whalen, in honor of her dog, Tray, and all senior dogs who await a new home and deserve a second chance at life and happiness.

When Mom first adopted me 4 years ago today, everyone told her that at my then age (estimated 13 years), that I would probably only be with her for a year or two because of my poor condition. But with lots of love and good care, I was with my Mom for almost 4 years! I know she is really thinking of me today and I want to thank all my Dogster friends that have stopped by and helped us celebrate today. I know my family especially misses me today . . .
Love from Sunny

Just wanted to say thank you to all of our Dogster and Catster friends for all the support sent our way when our Sunny went to the Rainbow Bridge. If you ever wonder if your pawmails, rosettes, and kind words matter when someone loses a cherished pet, please know that they matter very much.
Regardless of the ups and downs and changes that we have seen on this site over the years, just remember, that the friendships that are formed on this site is what really matters. We all have something in common that bonds us together: we love our dogs and cats and we are there for each other in times of need. For that, this family will always be grateful.
Mom Tootie, Wesley, Sissel, Smudge, Sunny, Dekker, and Smokey

My Sweet Sunny suffered a stroke yesterday and I had to make the difficult decision today to let him make his journey to the Bridge today. Though he was at least 16 years old, and I adopted him only 4 years ago, I feel so blessed to have had him in my life for the past 4 years. I will never know what his life like was before I had him, but I know no one could have loved him more than I did (as did his brother Wesley and his cats Smudge and Sissel). Thank you Sunny for all the joy you brought to our lives. We all miss you and love you so much.
Mom Tootie
