Tess 09-247

I am forever grateful to GRREAT for bringing Tess into my life. Tess was a sweet and gentle soul who loved to go on long walks around the city, and then to curl up my my side once we were home. She loved road trips in the car, once she was sure we weren’t going to the vet. She loved to keep watch on all the comings and goings on the block, particularly tracking the pesky squirrels. She loved anyone who might give her a treat, and with her adorable face, she got a lot!

Merlin 09-041

Our beloved Merlin crossed the Rainbow Bridge 7/13/21. Originally named Sully for the airline pilot who guided his plane safely into the Hudson River. Like Sully, he saved us every day with his love, antics, and playful ways! He went from being an abused dog to being a sweet and gentle therapy dog. Meal times were enjoyable: he would grab a squeaky toy, make noise, and throw it in the air on his way to his bowl! We miss him tremendously; he was truly a dog that will live in our hearts forever.

Toby 21-004

Toby, an answer to a prayer and an angel in disguise.

He comforted the grieving, he made the bad days good and the good days better.

Thank you Toby for ten wonderful years.

And thank you GRREAT for all that you do.

Duncan

Although he wasn’t our dog, we consider Duncan an honorary member of our family. He was one of the lovable residents of la Casa Tortolero – a friend to us and to our children and a lover to our dog Bella. Duncan was friendly, gentle, resilient, loyal, patient, and, fortunately for Bella, submissive. Play in peace, Duncan. We will miss you and your golden hair (and heart)!       – Tyler Petrini

Buddy 09-204

In memory of our beloved Buddy (09-204) adopted in 2012. We met Buddy at an Animal Health & Safety Fair, organized by our daughter for her girl scout Gold Award. Our daughters fell in love with him on the spot. Brought to the US as a puppy from Serbia by GRREAT,he was diabetic and later diagnosed as epileptic. Buddy was the happiest and friendliest of dogs, and a friend to all. He died in May 2019 of cancer; even though he was pretty darn sick he kept his sweet personality till the end.
