We are deeply saddened and offer condolences and all our prayers to Gary and Bev's Family . Thanks to Bev and Gary and Dana many a Boston was saved from puppymills finding new homes . Bev was one of the first few who felt that puppymill Bostons needed rescued . they where never inferior dogs to pure breds that ended up in rescue . In fact these babies needed desparate saving , many would have went to other mills to live a life of hell .So many families now call one of these puppies and older babys family members and their lives ,like all of us are richer, and more aware of suffering because of Bev and all those who rescue or fight to stop Puppy Mills .. Bev who now is with Dana will have a special place in Heaven for all the good work they have done . Hopefully others will pick up where she left off on rescuing from mills and auctions.. and those who cannot rescue please pick up the fight to end this living Hell for dogs and cats ..(merr) she will be watching over us...Anyone who reads this please make a donation in Bev's name to you're local shelter or to cancer research .
