🕊️In Loving Memory of Alfie🌈
Today, our rescue family said goodbye to a true legend. Alfie crossed the rainbow bridge — wrapped in love, surrounded by those who adored him, and held by his mom, Allison. 🐾
Alfie came to AGSDR in the summer of 2022. Early on, we thought he had cancer. Allison, his foster mom, braced for a hospice journey… but Alfie had other plans.
💪 He recovered.
💛 He thrived.
🐶 And somewhere along the way, Allison fell in love — and made him family.
If you’ve ever visited our holiday gift wrap, you probably met him. He was there greeting people, soaking up pets, and stealing hearts. He was our very best breed ambassador and the heart of that event.
🎁 Gift wrap wouldn’t have been the same without Alfie. Truly, it was a success because of him.
This year, Alfie was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma. But Allison gave him every chance — starting chemo immediately and for seven more months he had love, snuggles, and more memories were made.
Today, Allison and our rescue family helped him cross the bridge — gently, peacefully, and surrounded by love. 🌤️
To Alfie:
You were one of a kind.
Gentle, soulful, deeply loved.
We’ll carry your memory into every rescue mission.
Our 18th Annual Holiday Gift Wrap won’t be the same without you, but you’ll always be with us.
To Allison:
Thank you for loving Alfie the way every rescue deserves to be loved.
You gave him the best three years of his life — and he gave that love right back to all of us. ❤️
Rest easy, sweet boy. We love you forever. 🐾
