foster saint sid has passed away (by erin)

Sid was 17 years old when he was taken to the local pound, surrendered because he was simply no longer wanted. Last October, that shelter contacted SAINTS, and Sid was transferred into our care. A few months later, he moved into Lisa's heart, and her home. Lisa and Sid only had about 6 months together. It doesn't seem like long compared to 17 years, but she was his true forever home. Sid passed away today, not a forgotten, lonely unwanted senior dog, but as a treasured part of the family. He passed peacefully, knowing he was loved, right up until the end. We are very sorry for your loss Lisa, we hope you take solace in the fact that you gave the gift of love to someone who needed it the most. And even in such a short time, it mattered. It mattered to Sid.
