We need to say something about the comments being made on our post about Beefcake.
When an animal has been in our care for four years and passes away, the last thing we should have to deal with is people coming onto a post about his death and being cruel, judgmental, and making assumptions about things they know nothing about.
We asked for time to grieve, and we deserve that.
Some have commented that they wished Beefcake had a family. The truth is, he did have a family. He had us. It may not have been the kind of family or the kind of life we had hoped and dreamed for him, and we wish with everything in us that we could have given him more. But he was ours, and he was very loved.
For four years, Beefcake was in our care. He received routine veterinary care. He was fed, sheltered, cared for, and loved.
To suggest otherwise is not only unfair—it is deeply hurtful, especially at a time when we are grieving the loss of an animal who was a part of our rescue family for four years, and let’s not forget, when he came to Rescue, he was going to be euthanized in a local shelter and not one rescue organization besides, ours was even trying to help him. People seem to forget that.
You do not have to know the entire story to have compassion. And if you don’t know the story, please don’t assume you do.
We will not be engaging in further discussion or defending ourselves in the comments at this time.
We are asking that you please respect that. I shouldn’t have to get up in the morning and see people attacking us and spend my morning deleting and blocking those people. It’s disgusting and honestly quite painful. 
Let us grieve our boy. ❤️🩹🌈
