Welcome to Dalmatian Rescue!

I thought that I would have a few more good years with my precious Nicky, but sometimes life just doesn't give you what you wish for... I do have to say that I've has almost 11 wonderful years with my sweet boy and he always, always made me smile. From the day he ran out of the room into my husband's lap at Dalmatian Rescue, I knew we had a special dog. He was thought to be deaf ~ a magazine even did an article on my husband and Nicky and how they were overcoming obstacles. We eventually found out that his hearing was perfect and enjoyed all the times we had together. Since my husband struggled with his own illnesses, Nicky was always his constant companion, especially riding in the car. Unfortunately, my husband passed away a few years ago and Nicky became Momma's boy... wouldn't leave my side. When I cried, he licked away my tears. We've been through so much together and even made a move to Tampa two years ago. Everyone that met him loved his gentle demeanor and his good looks having one blue and one brown eye. They marveled at how well he looked even though he was now considered a senior dog. Nicky developed liver cancer and was gone in 6 weeks... I know he's at Rainbow Bridge playing with my husband where they left off. I will always look at his photos and smile and think of all the comfort and happiness that Nicky gave me over the years and still does. Thank you Pati, Mark, and Dalmatian Rescue for giving me the best dog I ever had! Sincerely, Carolyn
