Date of Death:
My wife Linda and I adopted Gretchen from you in Jan-Feb 2016. She had a great life with us - almost 10 years between Maryland and in Florida since late 2018. Due to failing health, we had sadly to have her euthanized last week, with in-home services performed by a nearby Vet with Lap of Love.
We think she was nearly 13, given your guidance of her age provided in early 2016. She was a wonderful pet, and we would like to sincerely thank you for the beautiful, amazing work you do in saving these dogs lives and finding them deserving homes. In the last 1-1/2 years, she also enjoyed the company of another adopted Shepherd we got from Southwest Florida German Shepherd Rescue. Since that time, monthly Librela shots kept her arthritis at bay, and allowed her to keep going nearly two years before her body started recently failing in other ways.
The picture is from last Christmas, and she is in her carriage, along with her adopted brother Klaus- the white shepherd we adopted from SWFLGSD Rescue. At that time, she was no longer able to take long walks, but enjoyed the ride.
