July 22, 2020 : RIP
In (Very) Loving Memory:
We are heartbroken and devastated to report Willow’s unexpected passing shortly after being adopted into a very loving home with a family that was her absolute perfect match.
Willow spent 10 months in her foster home recovering from a lifetime of neglect, possibly worse, after having been dumped on a dirt road in rural Ontario last fall. Her health woes were considerable but she made slow progress, eventually becoming well enough to transition from her loving foster home into her loving furever home.
Willow ultimately experienced tremendous love, comfort and care during the last stage in her journey. We so wish the stage could have lasted longer.
Rest in peace sweet girl.
“The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.”

Just read story about Willow. I can’t commend ye enough for the love and care ye gave her. It’s such a touching story. We adopted a 10 year old female chi over a year ago. After 1 year with Mia her illness was too bad and she never made it. It was our first dog. We became so attached and treated her like our baby. We miss her so much. Wish we were closer to see Willow. We are in NL. Ye are in Ontario?
bless you. I hope they respond and that you can find a way to get her to you in NL. She is a special one for sure.
Thank you for adopting Mia, we are sorry to learn she has passed but happy to know she enjoyed a wonderful year with you. The CCRT is a national organization and we have volunteers across the country, not just in Ontario.
Such a sad story.
How can anyone be so cruel to such a defenseless animal.
So sad. I rescued a very starved Chiweenie. She was so abused, bad teeth, not fixed, broken tail. When I got her she was given the love she deserved. I just don’t understand how anyone can abuse these helpless babies.
