Sometimes love and loss turn into something meaningful. 💛

One of our foster families has recently published two powerful grief books.

Bode the Beach Dog: Adventures Over the Rainbow Bridge is a long-awaited continuation—written through heartbreak—where Bode welcomes Abbey across the Rainbow Bridge.

I Wasn’t Ready speaks to the kind of loss that hits without warning… the kind that leaves you trying to catch your breath after Quinn’s sudden passing.

Both books offer gentle support, real emotion, and tools for navigating grief—written by a therapist whose dogs were part of her healing work.

If you’ve ever loved and lost, these will speak to your heart.

Today we remember….from Tink, Brooke’s mom and our founder:

In a blink of an eye your life can change forever.
It’s been 22 years since Brooke’s death. 22 years without my daughter. 22 years Mason, Cheyenne and Colton have lived without their sister.
Brooke was with us for 18 years. Her car accident happened on her 18th birthday, March 28, 2004. She lived a week in an induced coma.
She had a head injury. After a week she passed away. I never thought I’d get through the first days without her, or a week, or month and God knows I’d never make it a year… and here it is 22 years.
I have no idea how I made it in this world without her. But I did. Along with her siblings and other family members. Some days I’m glad she’s not here in this world the way it is. Some days I feel she’s the lucky one. I didn’t feel that way at first. It’s taken years. When people asked how did you make it after Brooke died. I really don’t know. One day at a time. My three other kids and keeping busy. I would say God was my copilot but really he was the Pilot. I hope my story can help others to not give up and to see you can make it. You will smile again and life is worth living even on days you don’t want to. And believe me, there were days I didn’t want to.
Grief is not easy. Everyone’s grief is different. Everyone’s journey is different. You might take a step forward and two steps back on some days. Then three steps forward and 1 step back. But you can do it. I did and I know you can too what ever your struggles may be. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of Brooke and wonder and miss her.
Always in our hearts

Captain and Major are about to begin a whole new chapter—and we want to make sure it’s the life they truly deserve. 💙🐾

These two sweet puppies were recently surrendered when their owner was deployed and, with a heavy heart, made the selfless decision to ensure they could have the stability, time, and care they need. That kind of love doesn’t go unnoticed—and now it’s our turn to step in for them.

Captain and Major are a high-energy, intelligent breed that will thrive with an active, engaged family who understands their needs for exercise, structure, and connection. They’re full of potential, love, and loyalty—and with the right environment, they are going to be incredible companions.

As they get ready to become available for adoption, Brooke’s Legacy is raising funds to support their care—medical, training, food, and everything they need to start strong and be set up for success in their forever homes.

✨ How you can help:
• Donate toward their care

Every dollar and every share brings Captain and Major one step closer to the life their owner hoped for them—a safe, loving, and active home where they can truly thrive.

Let’s come together for these two deserving pups. 🐶💙

***Applications will be ignored as they are not yet ready! Do not apply or email about these puppies!

As Brooke turns 40 today, it’s hard to believe I have a 40-year-old. She’s been celebrating her birthdays in heaven for 22 years.

March 28th was also the day of the vehicle accident that would take her life a week later—April 4, 2004. March 28th is the last day I heard my daughter’s voice… the last day I heard her say “Mom.”

For me, her brothers, and her sister, life shifted into a new journey—one with no clear course and no instructions. It’s a path no one ever wants to walk, and it looks different for everyone who does. The one question that has never been answered—the one I’ve always carried—is “Why?” I know that answer won’t come until I’m in heaven.

What I do know is this: whatever God put Brooke on this earth to do, she fulfilled it. And that’s why He called her home. As much as I miss her—and as much as my heart selfishly wishes she were still here so I could watch her grow into the incredible woman I know she would be—I find peace in knowing she’s in a place I pray to be someday. And I hold onto the promise that we will see her again.

Brooke cared deeply about others. She wouldn’t want me, or her brothers and sister, to be sad. She would want us to remember her birthday with smiles, laughter, and love for life. Some days, that smile is harder than others—but it’s what I remember most about her, and what I will never forget.

She now has a nephew, Colson, and a niece, Maizee, who she would love just as much as she would Peyton, Maddox, Re*****on, and Waylen. None of her nieces and nephews have met her, but they know exactly who their Aunt Brooke is—and that she’s in heaven.

I also want to thank everyone who has volunteered, fostered, supported, and adopted through Brooke’s Legacy—thank you for being there and continuing her impact in such a meaningful way.

Life.
It’s worth embracing. ❤️🦋
