Please send your love to Kevin Gill’s family. May their memories of their sweet boy bring them comfort during their time of grief.
They write: It is with broken hearts that we share this news. Kevin Gill (though we only knew him as Kevin) passed away on Friday, October 27. In a devastating turn of events, Kevin went from being a perfectly healthy and happy boy to suffering from what was likely an inflammation of his brain stem and tissue over the course of three days. Though we are grateful that he did not suffer long and remained in expert care, we are still in complete shock.
In the year and a half we got to spend with him, Kevin filled our lives with countless moments of love and laughter. We were blessed to give him a sweet (read: spoiled) life, especially after learning of his rough situation before he found his way to Lone Star. Kevin got to know so many of our family and friends––he touched the hearts of every single person he met. He was sweet, silly, snuggly and trusting. We’re devastated to have lost him, but we’ll think of him with every banana slice, Benebone, snuggly blanket, big hug and nap on the couch from here forward.
Thank you for bringing him to us, for entrusting us with him, and for honoring his memory.
With love, Abby and Will
I found my furever home today! A wonderful couple was looking for a sweet boy just like me. Without hesitation, I jumped in the car and we were off to start our new life together. They told me about their shopping trip. New toys, good food and treats, new bed and more wait for me. I feel very special. Thank you, rescue, for finding just the right family for me.
There were several dogs where I used to live and we all lived outside.
Our owner would just throw out some food and it was a free-for-all. It was every dog for himself, and I guess I was not assertive enough. The other dogs got most of the food and I got the leftovers. That is why I am so thin. I only weigh 36 pounds.
Some of the dogs told the owner we were not happy. He said if we were not happy we could just go live in the shelter. Best decision he ever made!
I’m just under 3 years old, but I’ve never really been socialized or taught how to behave around other dogs or people. I’m very shy and afraid. It takes a while for me to warm to you and trust you.
The only bad thing about leaving the shelter is that, after a few days, I finally had warmed up to a lady there. We became friends. I don’t think I’ve ever had a human friend before. She told me I would make all kinds of friends now.
I’m sure if someone is just patient and gives me some time and space, I will become their new best friend. I am so excited to leave that yard and those dogs and join rescue. Best day of my life!
4/18/22 Update: In my foster home, I have a buddy to play with, a soft bed and a foster mom who cooks for us. This is the life for me. I’m a happy fellow, so I’m not going to mess this up. No more hunger pains for me!
I’m a great jumper, but I haven’t tried the couch yet. The resident Bulldogs seem to like it.
If you are looking for a well-mannered, handsome fella to join your family, I may be your perfect match!
