Lucy May MEMORIAL OCT 2017
Lucy celebrated her 10th year to us on July 2nd with her Princess party. That was her name before we adopted her. But the clown that she was, I thought Lucy suited her better.
From the time we got her they guessed she was 1-2 years old. We adopted her from Guardian Angel in Olive Branch. The day we went for she & Daisy to meet, the lady told us “Now if she doesn’t work out you can bring her back, she has been brought back twice already”. We told her that no she wouldn’t be brought back that she had found her forever home and that whatever her issues were, we would work them out and she would have the best home we could provide. We were blessed because she was one of the BEST dogs that we have ever had. She was the clown of the May household. All our friends and family loved her and she wasn’t picky about who she slept with, if they were down with sleeping she was all over that. She loved to play, eat, sleep, eat, bark, ride as long as she wasn’t in her kennel, but more than anything she loved her daddy and being in the kitchen. They were thick as thieves and tight as frick and frack. Our house is now quiet of those sweet sounds of the beagle bugling and oh how we miss it. Not a day goes by that we don’t miss her. I always have said “Nothing better than a beagle”! We really had the best in Lucy.

Ranger Marshall Memorial Dec 2016
Ranger traveled far and made many friends in his life. The top two pictures were in Winslow, AZ the summer of 2015 and the bottom pictures were at “Dog Beach” in San Diego in 2014. He loved to run in the shallow water and hunt for fish. He was more important to us than any other thing in our lives. He was the very best and we don’t think the sadness will ever leaves us. We are so grateful though for DARS and the fact Ranger found his way from your loving homes to ours. He was family and will remain in our hearts forever.

Bubba Brooks Memorial October 2015
By his human sister, Tricia Brooks
Our Dad rescued a litter of stray puppies who were born out in the country. All of the puppies were placed in other homes, but one puppy caught his heart and his name became Bubba Brooks. Bubba soon found a special place into the whole family's hearts. Bubba was rambunctious as a puppy and young adult,but calmed as he got older. He reluctantly accepted new puppies brought into the family, but he tolerated. Bubba's favorite things to do was to go on his daily walk with his Dad and shake hands. He always expected you to shake his hand several times whenever you came over to visit. Bubba was one of those special dogs who's demeanor fit in perfectly with his family and we will miss him terribly. "It's not goodbye, but a 'we'll see you later, Bubba Brooks!'"

Missy Huff memorial September 2015
Our Sweet Missy has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. While she's waiting for her family, she's eating all the ice cream and treats her little belly can hold because she can. She's chewing bones because her teeth are strong and don't hurt. She's running through fields chasing butterflies because her joints don't hurt any more. She doesn't have to get her nails clipped because they don't grow that fast. And she's wearing her costume because she's the cutest! And the sweetest!

Annie Memorial August 2014
By Friends of Mary Kay in Annie's memory
A great companion, a great listener, a great dog!
There is nothing better than a rescued animal as the love is never-ending. They are always happy to see you. It doesn't matter how you are dressed or what your hair looks like. It only matters that you are there. That type of unconditional love is precious and should be cherished always.
