Forever Remembered 🐾🌈
Baylee
5/15/2012-11/3/2025
"From the moment we met her, Baylee filled our home with love. She was an energetic Labrador-Doberman mix rescued as a newborn from a box on the side of I-81. She turned a chance rescue into 13.5 years of joy. We adopted her as newlyweds and she became the first new member of our growing family. Her energy, loyalty, and gentle heart were infectious as she helped us raise 3 children. She lived to play fetch, she could play for hours until we made her rest. Even after being hit by a truck at 4 years old, she showed incredible strength and resilience, recovering fully and never losing her playful spirit even till her last day. She also loved ice cream, canned tuna, snow, and any chance to splash in the water (even though she couldn't swim 😂). Even in her later years, she carried the same puppy-like spirit she had the day we met her. 13.5 years was not enough, but every moment with her was a gift. We will honor her memory by rescuing another dog, just as she was once rescued. We love and miss you so much Baylee!"
