Kasper
Just found out this evening that former foster boy Kasper passed away recently. He had been adopted in Maryland and lived out his life being loved and pampered. So happy I was able to take care of him for a short time. Godspeed sweet boy....... Jan Hadaway, April 8, 2019

Kasper
Our Kasper went over the rainbow bridge last Monday. We are hurting. We loved him so much! Before when a vet suggested we euthanize him since he was a “dangerous dog”, I pleaded we try medication for his seizures. His personality mellowed on phenobarbital and he loved life and played again. Last week while we were away, he got lethargic, wouldn’t eat or act normal. We thought a slight increase in dosage caused issues. This question prompted the vet to do bloodwork and he believed Kasper had hemolytic anemia. Unknown causes. We sought information on a transfusion and got a ticket for 5200 dollars, no probabilities on success, just talk of surgeries while we were watching Kasper’s breathing get more shallow. We were upset due to his levels being deadly and they had no urgency. Greg said to take him home to be comfortable but I told him the most humane thing was to say goodbye so he wouldn’t struggle. He got so weak. We both still hurt. Our other 2 Eskies know he isn’t around. We loved him so much! 6 years wasn’t enough but we were blessed he was part of our family! Deb Yevtick, November 21, 2022

Kipper
Today my little boy Kipper crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I adopted him from ERU 8 years ago when he was 6. He was scared but brave. He had been abused and neglected. It took him 6 months to wag his tail for me. He became so loving and confident. He greeted all the fosters I took in and showed them the ropes. Thank you Dyan Laphan for allowing me to adopt him and Cheryl Babcock for delivering him to me. Fly high my little angel. Until we meet again.….Jane Roberts, September 22, 2023.

Kodiak
Hello this is Jill Sipala I adopted Kodiak (aka snuggles) from your organization in May 2007. I wanted to let you know Kodi passed on today due to bladder cancer. He lived to be 16 years and eight months. Thank you to Jim Park for entrusting us with Kodi. We adopted him at four months old. He was an amazing and smart dog. I taught him agility, and he was still running agility courses at age 13! He was like a duck to water with it. He absolutely loved it! He had two other brother and sister Eskie’s at our house to play with. We loved him dearly and will sorely miss him.…..Jill Sipala, August 10, 2023

Kuma
Very sad day for us today. We have to put down our first foster Kuma. Kuma has been with us for nine years. Kuma was a biter and had several short term homes before us. Kuma has survived abuse, a stroke, paralysis, knee surgery, neurological and spinal issues and 12 other fosters through our home. We are so grateful that we were able to give him a home for these last nine years. although he has been a biter he is also a very loving dog and probably my favorite amoung all the dogs we have had. He has had constant pain for much of the last year and medicines don’t seem to do much to alleviate it over the last months. Though we hate to see him go we don’t want him to suffer. We are talking him to the park today to spend our last time with him. We love you Kuma!……..Glenn and Brenda Ritter, April 4, 2023
