Beloved friend and guardian of Jessica & Mike Ellis in Overland Park, Kansas; Sister to adopted GSD ‘Buddy’. Tragically taken from us far too soon and is sadly missed.
She was a beautiful headstrong alpha, which kept us on our toes. Her passion was to play ball with us as long as we could throw it to her; never once did she quit first.
Heidi was our faithful and loyal companion for 11 years. She was a big dog with a big personality, and she left her imprint on every part of our lives.
He was the youngest of our pack of 5 G.S.D's and the last to leave us. His character was like none I have ever known, and he was my rock when all others had passed away. He showed compassion and leadership when dozens of rescue German Shepherds came through our doors to be fostered.
As far as Shilo is concerned, really the only thing that needs to be said is how awesome of a best-friend she was for 10 1/2 years, how dearly loved she was, and that we miss her so much it still hurts to think and talk about her.
Major was my best friend and most loyal companion for almost eleven years. He was the most gentle dog with people, but I always knew he would protect me in an instant if I needed it. Major was happy when I was happy, sad when I was sad, and dependable to the end.
Baron was on this earth and enlightening lives for 13 years, 2 months and 7 days which is a miracle for this pup as he was Epileptic and also had arthritis in the legs. He made each day just a little more special for his family and everyone that met him.
“Dynamic Black Max” the ad read when we first saw him online… he was that and more. Although he owned Michelle from day one, in time he came to own Todd, too.
Ottley was a most handsome and noble boy, took great care of his family Elizabeth, Dan and Noah and Corgi brother Galen. He lived a grand long life, loved to play ball, and - oh my – those EARS!
