Ian
Please join us in offering our most sincere condolences to Sue and Gary on the loss of their TOESR dog, Ian. Ian came to us earlier this year when some very compassionate rescuers contacted us about a dog they'd found. Suzanne and Brad were kind enough to house the dog they named Shiloh and we set about vetting him for a variety of issues, only to find that he had been shot and had the remains of a bullet lodged in his shoulder. Of course we had it removed and Shiloh healed. We had no history on this sweet boy other than a chip that wasn't able to be tracked down. His age was never known but several vets suggested he wasn't the 5-6 year old dog that we originally thought, but more like 1-2 years. When he became available, various adopters weighed in on Shiloh but when Sue and Gary expressed a hearty interest in giving him a home, it felt like the right place for him to be. Shiloh became Ian and started his new life with such ease and joy, receiving it and giving it in turn.. Sometimes it's not the quantity of years that make up a wonderful life but the love that's consumed in the time you have. This was the case in Ian's situation. Ian passed away in early August. We are including Sue and Gary's memorial here in memory of a dog that touched everyone he met with his sweet nature. Rest well, Ian. You were graciously loved by so many. You can read from Sue in
memorials.
