Sunset Seniors / Memorial Garden

Wimble knew how important vet funding is to the senior and special needs pets that call Pound Pals home. When Wimble was scheduled to be killed at a pound due, he (fortunately) found his way to Pound Pals and received the medical care he needed. His MRI determined that he had Cerebellar Hypoplasia which meant the part of his brain that coordinated movement was smaller than usual.  Wimble had been that way his entire life but he never let his special diagnosis hinder him. Joyful, loving, and full of happiness, Wimble saw every dog as a friend and every moment as a gift. It's heartbreaking to think his story could’ve ended before it even began—just for being his sweet, special self.  Wimble wanted every special needs dog to have the same chance he did, and he knew vet funding makes that possible.

Wimble would have said: "Woof!" — let’s raise some vet funds and save more lives!"

The saddest day of Knox’s life was the day he lost the only home he’d ever known—his flea pit. We saw neglect. Knox saw comfort. He had spent nine long years there. In dog years, that’s 63. Imagine being ripped away after 63 years and not knowing why.  Suddenly he was in a loud shelter, then a vet's office—strangers, sounds, and smells he’d never known. He’d never even seen a vet before. Knox was scared, confused, and grieving. Because dogs love deeply, even when they’re mistreated. And Knox cried—for his person, for his flea pit, for the only life he knew.

But then came Pound Pals. And with time, patience, and love, the sadness began to fade. Three years later, Knox no longer missed his chain or the scorching summers or the ice storm he survived. The dog who once only dreamed of love now lived in it.

Knox ‘s hope for a better life came true - one day at a time and years later Knox surely thought: "Wowzers! I look and feel like a new man!" 

AND HE WAS.
