Harlow’s Legacy

Harlow’s Legacy ~ A Gentle Home For A Final Journey ~ Harlow’s Legacy – A Gentle Home For A Final Journey. I've given them safety, comfort, and love when they needed it most.

For the past four years, I have dedicated my time, energy, and personal resources to rescuing dogs from death row—dogs who had run out of time, out of chances, and were left behind. But now, I feel called to do more. Harlow’s Legacy is born from the love and bond I shared with my soul dog, Harlow. In his final days, he was surrounded by warmth, dignity, and unconditional love—and now, I want to of

fer that same peace and compassion to other elderly dogs who have known nothing but loneliness. Too many senior dogs spend their last years in cold kennels, overlooked time and again. My mission is to take in those dogs—often with complex needs, often broken in body and spirit—and give them a soft place to land. A home, not a cage. A lap, not a floor. Love, not silence. This isn't a shelter—this is a sanctuary of rest, respect, and remembrance. Any donations will go directly toward:

Veterinary care and palliative support
Comfortable bedding, food, and supplies
Mobility aids and home adaptations
Day-to-day costs of maintaining a peaceful home
Saying goodbye with grace when the time comes
Every penny helps me continue this work. These dogs may not have much time left, but with your help, the time they do have will be full of love and dignity. Please support in any way you can, all likes, shares and follows are appreciated 🙏

💛 This is Harlow’s Legacy. Thank you for helping me honor it.

4 kittens and mum cat will also soon be available to adopt.

3 female and 1 male kitten and a pretty tortoiseshell mum cat who was sadly dumped.

All kittens are wormed with Panacur every 2 weeks and flead with Advocate prior to leaving and microchipped. Vaccinations are optional but I do recommend them, I can do that here (Either first or both but means they cannot leave until 10/12 weeks), or can recommend a cost efficient vaccination service.

I can provide advice on neutering vouchers when they are old enough (earliest 4 months).

All kittens are/will be litter trained using wood pellet litter. They are fed on GoCat kitten biscuits available all day and 3x pouches of Whiskas Kitten per day.

As I always preach, training is not linear. Now I know, neither is grief.

I have been back to work for a few weeks now, honestly, not because I want to, but because I have no choice.

Each day is flying by in a blur and rolling into the next. I have no desire to get up and out each morning, nor do I have anything to look forward to or work towards, I am simply living each day best I can to get by. I do what I’ve got to do, just to get home and be alone. If you see me day to day I am sure you’d think I am fine, but that isn’t me anymore, truth be told.

Grief changes you - A grief so deep I feel it coursing through my body, but with it, I am putting the energy into simply going on long walks with Raya and the others. Some may say I am making good progress, even turning something negative into a positive, but all I am doing is conforming to society, but there is not a day, hour, even a moment that goes by that doesn’t flash a thought or memory of my boy through my head, and with that a sense or feeling that washes over me with pure sadness. I hope one day they will be happy memories, but for now all I see are his last struggles, his last few minutes and his last breaths and his body lying cold before being taken away from me forever.

The kind of thoughts that are simply there to torture me and not allow me any peace, but Im okay with that, because grief is love with nowhere to go.

Another wonderful gift, purchased from our Amazon Wishlist.

Lady seems happy, dont you agree? Despite wanting to eat from the top of the feeder at first 🙈 These new automatic feeders have helped keep Lady’s feeding station much cleaner and her food fresher for long, I have definitely noticed a change in her eating habits since changing to these automatic feeders, even down to her preference for the material over metal bowls 😻

I will be looking to get a few more of these feeders for our feline residents, if you’d like to purchase the cats some automatic feeder bowls, or something to cheer up our resident dogs, feel free to view our Amazon Wishlist 🧡

Opie (& and his pawrents), bought us some squeaky balls from our Amazon Wishlist.

I have put them aside - much to Raya’a dismay! - so that any newbies that come along can have something of their very own to help them settle in and bring them out of their shell.

Massive Thank You for these 💚 I am sure they will be a firm favourite 🤩
