Bean passed away at 12:00am today. He was with a vet tech, Kaitlin, at her house and was so weak and sick he never had a chance. We only had Bean for a week, but in that week we realized what an amazing little man he was. He tried so hard to stay alive but his past owners we so terrible to him he really never had a chance. We did everything we could but it just wasn't enough for this little one.
Luckily we got him out of the shelter and showed him what it was like to be loved for his last week alive. Today his 13th week birthday! He should have made it to long passed 13 years.
People think its "cute" that we run a dog rescue. I don't really think people have any idea they hell we see on a daily basis. People throw their dogs away because they are tired of them and don't want to deal with them anymore. They think they are disposable, but they are not. Even after all they go through they still have unconditional love for people.
We have no idea who did this to Bean because someone put him in the drop box at Gallia. How you could just throw that 2.3lb dog in a box outside in the middle of winter I will never understand. The Mange he had, had been going on for weeks. The vet said it was the worst case she had ever seen. He crashed yesterday morning and was rushed to the vet. They were able to stabilize him but again he was treated so badly for so long he couldn't pull through.
RIP little Bean, I'm sorry we didn't get to you sooner.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
