Zucker (I.D. 1307)

The little boy with no name...
The Directors of CBR-East are VERY saddened to report that after
arranging to bring in our very first (two) beagles from an Ohio high-kill
shelter, we were notified that one of them passed away just one
day before starting on the road to a new life through CBR-East.
He came to arrive with the dog warden after having been thrown
from a car by his "owners," after which time he had a seizure.
He had not had any more seizures during his time with the warden,
but when they sedated him to perform his neuter, he had a
massive seizure, and had to be humanely euthanized. They
believe the seizure was still a direct result from having been
thrown from the car window.
No one cared enough for this sweet soul during his life, but we will honor the little boy in his death. CBR-East Director, Pattie, had already named him Zucker (German translation for "sweet"), so that is what we will call him. We tried to rescue him, but were unfortunately too late. Inhumanity got to him first. CBR-East is dedicated to saving the lives of little beagles just like Zucker. Rest in peace, little Zucker. Click here to learn how you can help us! |

In memory of Millie... Every rescue beagle is special, and each one who enters our lives touches us in a unique way, so that we never forget them. Of course, there are those who enter our lives for some special purpose, and touch us in such a deep and powerful way that our lives are forever changed. All of us at CBR were touched by this special little girl in the short time that we knew her. She was loved and cared for by her guardian angels, Chuck, Harriet and Helena for longer than any of us thought possible. She is now at peace at the Rainbow Bridge, and will be missed and continued to be loved by those she left behind. To read more about Millie's story, click here. Rest in peace, little angel... July 2006.

When someone we care about passes from this earth, I believe a star is added to heaven's galaxy in their place.
I had the great fortune of having a wonderful friend who was special to me in more ways than one. I met Mary Jane Sabino when she and her husband Anthony adopted my very first foster dog, Harley. In the process of screening her application, I knew that I had found a rare individual who was full of grace, warmth, compassion and kindness. Mary Jane opened her heart to souls who needed her love and gentle touch. She was mommy to her "girls" Phoebe, Harley, Nell - in addition, she was a wonderful mother to her boys - and no doubt her husband is feeling the tremendous void in his life. The Sabino's had only recently celebrated 20 years together.
MJ used to sit at her sewing machine creating coats, blankets and sweaters for all of my own dogs and foster dogs. She even made me a matching t-shirt personally embroidered - she always stepped up to answer the call for help and in doing so, she gave to rescue things that make me feel humbled. Cancer took a very special soul far too early in her young life. She had so much left to do and her departing has left a space no else can fill.
MJ - you may no longer walk among those here on earth but when I need to remember a friend I've lost (but will someday meet again), I'll need only to look skyward and think of you. In memoriam, please consider making a donation in MJ's memory to the American Cancer Society.

In memory of Jessica... Sometimes, these special girls come into our lives when we least expect them! Jessica's guardians went to the shelter to see a totally different breed and age of dog, but were actually chosen by this special little beagle. Jessica knew she had found her forever home when she met them. Jessica was right, and she lived the remainder of her long and wonderful 7 years with Stephanie and her parents. Jessica went through life as a content, happy. laid back beagle who probably never really knew all that she brought to her family - love and comfort during those difficult times in our lives when we look back and realize that our furry friends were the ones who were always there for us. When Jessica's time had come, and her body could not hold on anymore, Stephanie was there for her - to help her cross over to the Rainbow Bridge where she can run and sniff to her heart's content. She is still much loved and will be truly missed. Rest in peace, "Puppylove"...

With the Angels she took flight. Though time has passed since she's been gone, Within our hearts she lives, Her love and joy and laughter, Is the legacy she gives.
CBR-East is saddened to report the loss of a very special person & one of our core volunteers: Joann Miller
Wictionary defines the word “character” as someone with distinctive traits that leaves a mark or stamp on all they do. To say that Joann was a “character” is an understatement. She possessed so many endearing traits – her smile, her laugh, her love for dogs and her sense of humor. Oh and that salesmanship – simply amazing! At events she attended Joann was in the spotlight and outshined all of us with her ability to draw people to our table. I can picture her now, baseball cap perched on top of her head calling – no shouting over the crowds “Beagle Rescue!!! Come on over”. And God help you if you didn’t! She’d all but chase you to get your attention. When Joann was at the helm we’d all step back and let her do her “thing”. It was funny to watch but it worked and because of it, our events have been profitable and entertaining to say the least! I teased her that she could sell the devil back his own soul – at a discount!!
Although she had an unfair share of health issues Joann never let that affect her spirit. It’s difficult for me to believe she’d ever give up but ultimately it was the will of a power stronger than she that her time with us ended all too soon. The Millers had only recently celebrated 31 years together and just this month Joann turned 57.
Joann, you were an inspiration to me and I’m honored to have known you. You’ll be missed by those of us who knew you and had the great fortune of calling you a friend. Godspeed on your journey home – rest easy knowing you did leave your mark here in our hearts.

went "Night Night", one last time:
Personalized Rainbow Bridge Poem
A
personalized Rainbow Bridge Poem can be made especially for your beloved
pet.
~10% goes to Cascade Beagle Rescue~
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.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...
