Beavis
Beavis was the the very first dog that I ever rescued. I happened apon him one day as my neighbor was beating him with a chain. He was the one that inspired me so long ago to save as many abused and misunderstood animals as I could. I learned alot of valuable lessons from him. Just as I saved his life.....he returned the favor to me and gave me purpose. We were friends for 16 long years and in that time he too saved my life by waking me on a boat trip in the Florida Keys. He alerted me when the boat had broke free of the dock in the middle of the night. Who knows what would have happened if he were not there. I will always remember that wonderful dog and what he did to form my life into what it is today. His memory will live on in the work I do now at ROSAS Rescue. RIP Dear friend.....love always L.

Boomer
Boomer was a rescued dog that joined a special family. He originally was from a farm where there were 35 other dogs and he went into rescue. A very special friend was looking for a "farm dog" and happened upon his cage. He knew first sight that he had found exactly that - a farm dog. Boomer lived on a 35 acre farm in Northern KY and he knew every bit of it. He walked through the woods, loved laying in the creek on hot days or even on cold days, he loved to treasure hunt, he loved running in the field with the horses, he loved to steal and eat their apples - he just loved life in general. His life changed when his owner passed on and he then had to move to his next home with a friend - he had other furry friends there that he played with and even took care of a new pup. He had a yard to run in and he learned to like his new home. Then again he moved to another friends home (all were with him from the time he came from the rescue) and this time he got to know what a house dog was all about and he loved it. He would come in and lay on his soft bed. He liked to play with his ball and he claimed it - it was "his" ball. He loved playing with Shadow (his girl friend), who watched over him as he started to show signs of his age. He had two smaller dogs that he tolerated and got along with. But his time with all of his best friends had to come to an end. Boomer was all dog. He took it in stride and now is treasure hunting and will never be in pain again. We all were lucky enough to be with him for 13 yrs. God was good to us to bring us all together and we were good to Boomer to give him back. We will never forget you.....
