When my mother was terminally ill, it gave her so much stress to wonder where her dog was going. I spoke with my landlord and go the ok to take her beautiful dog. It gave her so much relief to know her beloved family member would be well taken care of.

Best Friends is a fantastic organization and I donate to them regularly. Sounds like the North Shore Animal League is a wonderful place as well.
