We named her HOPE because she was proof that where there is a will, there is always a way.  This little girl was about 2 years old when she came to live at the Sanctuary in September, 2002.  She was diagnosed as having cardiomyopathy.  She had a definite heart murmur, but you couldn't tell it from the way she acted & played.  We didn't know how her life would be affected by this condition, but we knew the person who adopted her would receive a special bundle of love.  She was a real sweetie.

Hope didn't get the chance at a home of her own.  She crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on December 08, 2003, held in the loving arms of those who cared for her.  Her heart condition had worsened & she was no longer able to eat or get around.  Her breathing was labored & there was no prognosis for her recovery.

She now frolics with the others who wait at the Bridge for us; free of pain & poor health.  Bless you, Hope.
