Rest peacefully, Boots. 🌈🐾

It’s with heavy hearts that we share the news that Boots has crossed the rainbow bridge. We discovered that she had a tumor causing internal bleeding, and we were faced with the heartbreaking decision to let her go.

Two incredible foster families shared custody of Boots, making sure she had love, companionship, and a soft place to land. They gave her the gift of being cherished, and we will forever be grateful to them for opening their hearts and homes to her.

Boots deserved to know love, and thanks to these amazing fosters, she did. She may not have had as much time as we wished, but her final days were filled with the kindness and affection every animal deserves.

Run free, sweet Boots. You were loved, you mattered, and you will not be forgotten. ❤️🐾
