Farewell, Oliver

Oliver, (Formerly Rag-A-Muffin) went to the Rainbow Bridge. Oliver was one of the first rescues for SNPR. He came in under extreme circumstances. The landlord at an apartment complex found what he thought was a dead pug in an abandoned unit and when he went to remove him he realized he was still alive. Barely. SNPR got the call on the hotline to help this poor animal who had been left to die alone. He had depleted his body of fluids and was now blind and deaf. He had gashes and sores all over from who knows what. He had a severely collapsed trachea. We named him Rag-A-Muffin due to the shape he was in. Our special board member Dawn who has always taken a liking to the “oldie moldie’s” took him into her home and has cared for him for nearly 4 years. She renamed him Oliver. Oliver has spent the last few years having to be hand fed, one piece of food at a time, twice daily. He has gotten to know what unconditional love means and for that we are all so grateful. With Oliver going to the bridge he takes with him a special part of SNPR but an even bigger part of his mommy Dawn’s heart. Dawn, we are so grateful for you for opening up your home and heart to Oliver. We are sorry it could only be for a few years. We will see you at the Bridge Oliver.
