INTRODUCING SHADOW & 3K MATCH GAME


12/31/19

Meet the latest addition to the Beauty’s Haven family! This is Shadow. He’s not even a year old and had been living on the streets. Animal control tried to catch him for weeks but he was afraid of humans so they ended up darting him.

Shepherds Beyond Borders stepped up to take him into their program. One of our volunteers saw Shadow on Facebook the day after Duke passed away so unexpectedly and the rest is history! We picked up Shadow yesterday and we love him beyond measure! He’s awesome!


Thanks to the amazing generosity of another dear friend and supporter, our $2K Match Game has been increased to $3K! We thereby, now have a $3K Match Game on the table with $1715 still available in matching funds.

Won’t you please help us achieve our Campaign goal? If you are unable to donate at this time, we truly understand, but you can still help by sharing our campaign amongst family and friends! Your donation will enable us to continue our most important mission of helping horses and other animals in need.

Donations may be forwarded via various means here on our website or via PayPalMe. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation to ‘YEC Match Game #2.’ If you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. All donations are tax deductible and are so very much appreciated, and please be assured, that no amount is ever too small.

We are so truly blessed by the generosity, love and support that you have extended to Beauty’s Haven throughout 2019 as well as in years past.

Wishing You Peace, Love & Joy in 2020!

Duke – Forever in Our Hearts

It is with a heavy heart to inform you that my beloved companion and protector, a beautiful German Shepherd named Duke, has gone to Rainbow Bridge.

Duke suddenly collapsed on Monday (Dec 18th) morning for no apparent reason. I rushed him to Dr. Kristi Fox (Blue Run Veterinary Practice). She had just been at the farm this past Friday for a routine exam and vaccinations – she’s the only vet that Duke trusted.

Duke had a very aggressive, high-grade soft tissue sarcoma that most commonly affects the spleen and heart. It’s a highly malignant cancer that preys on blood vessels that can spread rapidly, causing tumors almost anywhere in the body. It’s commonly in the advanced stage before detection, making it virtually a silent killer. I learned that German Shepherds are at high risk for developing this type of cancer which sadly, took my Duke on Monday morning.

I was very blessed when Duke came into my life in 2012 and that he chose me to be his human. Wherever I was, he always wanted to be right there with me – always. He never wanted me out of his sight and he would protect me to no end. I know, without a doubt, that he will forever be watching over me.

I love you, Duke, always.
