Eskie Rescuers United

Lemon
This is Lemon from MD. She moved with me to San Francisco last August. She was the best dog and companion I could have asked for......Yejin Kim, December 6, 2016

Smokey
Smokey came to the R'Eskie Ranch in 2012 when he was picked up from a DE kill shelter. He was adopted, loved very much, and lived his life out in the company of other beloved senior Eskies.......Noni Bodkin, December, 2016

Tess
Tess has lived at the Ranch since 2011, when she was rescued from a breeder in Canada who had over 60 eskies that needed to be rehomed. Chicagoland and ERU helped by taking several senior and special needs eskies, while Canadian rescue groups helped to rehome the younger dogs. Little Tess was adopted to a wonderful family but Tess never became comfortable. She stayed in a corner of one room except when she was out on her daily walks. When the family brought her back to me she turned into a different dog - happy to be "home." Tess Lived out the remainder of her life at the Randallstown Reskie Retirement Ranch.........Heidi Ortmeyer, December 14, 2016

Lightning Bug Barker
Rescue is a double edged sword sometimes and today is one of those times. RIP sweet Lightning, run free and wild. You were loved our little peanut. Our Lightning Bug was very ill. Tests yesterday morning confirmed that she, like our Carl 3 months ago, had spleen hemangiosarcoma. She had been picking at her food for several days, not acting "right" and I had been talking with her wonderful vet all week. A very large tumor the size of an orange tumor appeared on Tuesday. It was growing rapidly and exhausting her. Lightning Bug took a turn for the worse yesterday evening. She crossed the Bridge at 6:33pm. It was the most peaceful crossing we have had. She was tired and ready. We are absolutely devastated....... Denise and Mark Barker November 9, 2016

Henry
Henry was a little 16 year old man riddled with arthritis, whom we pulled from a NC shelter shortly before he was scheduled to be euthanized. It's so sad when a senior dog, at the end of its days, finds himself no longer loved or wanted - and is either dumped in a shelter to be killed or tossed out on the street to die. Either way, alone and afraid. Our foster said, "Not on my watch" and Henry had a wonderful home, filled with love and care, for his remaining days. Sadly, I t wasn't very many. But today, when he was ready to leave us, Henry's foster daddy was there with him holding his paw and kissing him goodbye..........RIP Henry, run free and wild with the angels. October 29, 2016
