Our boy, Sherman, passed away on May 18, 2024. He was 11 1/2 years old. We adopted him June 7, 2014 from Houston Beagle and Hound Rescue when he was 1 1/2 years old. We miss him so much. He was a very fine beagle. Very smart and loved everyone. Sherman, you will always remain in our hearts and thoughts. Tell Bailey we miss her too!!

No tolerance for dog fighting. Poor baby. Rest well my friend.

“Lucas, was a Grand Champion of dog fighter, Michael Vick.

I sponsored Lucas, sending him blankets, bones...etc.

In return, those small gestures made me feel like I was making a difference in his life that had been filled with agonizing pain & fear.

Lucas bore deep scars both physically and emotionally. Never to be allowed in a real home with a loving family, because of what Vick trained him to become.

Lucas was a permanent resident at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for the remainder of his life per court order.

A lifetime sentence for a dog who was FORCED to be in a pit and fight to the death. Michael Vick received only 19 months for torturing and killing dogs at his own free will.

I know nothing of Michael Vick’s football career. I don’t care if he can throw or catch a ball while running 10 or 20 yards. That’s simply talent.

I’m more interested in something more important.
Like his character as a human being.

Or his thought process as he took his family’s pet dogs and threw them in a pit with fighting dogs in training and laughed as they were viciously torn apart.

What kind of father does that?

I’m more interested in his testimony in court as he stated he didn’t know dog fighting was illegal, but yet put a privacy fence up so his illegal activities couldn’t be seen & painted the sheds on his property black to prevent helicopters from seeing them.

Or as he stated that he took the legs of a little red dog and slammed the dog on the concrete ground repeatedly until the dog’s head, neck & back were crushed.

How he hooked jumper cables to under performing dog’s ears while being connected to car batteries and threw the dogs in the pool while they frantically tried to escape the inevitable.

Lucas died as a result of suffering from Babesia, a disease transmitted from one infected fighting dog to another via bites.

He didn’t ask for the life that was forced upon him. He didn’t deserve the scars he wore on his face & body.

Lucas was loyal. He showed unwavering courage and unconditional love.”
