Taylor's Back Story:

 Taylor: Taylors back story still haunts me. He was kept in a fenced in yard without shelter from the sun or freezing nights. He dug a hole in the dirt and that was his existence. Fortunately a compassionate lady learned of his plight and rescued him.  He was taken to a local shelter where he remained for a lengthy stay. Since he was an advanced senior no one was willing to adopt him. 

Due to severe arthritis he was kept in a small room with a tiny window so he would be out of the cold. Far better than a hole in the ground. When we saw him we inquired about adoption and the shelter actually brought him to our home to see if he could manage the steps to get into the house. Sadly he could not get up the steps and he had to be returned to his tiny room at the shelter.

We ultimately decided to put another door in the back of our house that would allow him access to the back yard. It took a few weeks but we accomplished it. We went and rescued Taylor the very next day. He was groomed, pampered, and immediately treated like a family member. He had a 6" memory foam bed, toys, (new to him) good food served at regular intervals and was spoiled. 

He had 6 weeks of doggy bliss and then he stopped eating or drinking. It turned out he had a massive inoperable tumor and we were sent home to make him comfortable until his last days.  His days were sadly only one and he departed for doggy heaven. We were happy to give him the short time he had left and he was clearly reveling in true family life. We just wish he could have been with us longer but last  days were good and we could tell he enjoyed them. 

Taylor was an ambassador dog for abused dogs. He had a wonderful life his last six weeks and we wish it could have been longer. He totally captured our heart his final weeks.
