In memorium - JayJay
Jay Jay - adopted 11/05/2005
Crossed the rainbow bridge - 05/21/2009
Jay Jay was the first dog that PBRSD ever adopted out. We were so proud to find him his perfect forever home. Recently we received a note from his forever mommy letting us know that our boy led a long and happy life (12.5 years) and is now our ambassador on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
Jay Jay, you will be missed.
In honor of the dogs that share our lives that will eventually cross the Rainbow Bridge, we have set up a special page to honor your deceased family members. For a minimum donation of $25, we will list a photo, your pet's name, your name, and 25 word tribute to your pet.

Please read about ways that you can continue to care for your pet before making a final decision.
