As we headed back to the house, Jacque told me the story of how Bonnie and Clyde came to the sanctuary. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bonnie and Clyde arrived at the sanctuary in June 2014. Clyde was then 12 or 13 and Bonnie 10 or 11. Their elderly owner had passed away and none of his family members wanted to keep the dogs. They had remained together at the Clatsop County Animal Shelter for almost a year, sharing the same small kennel. Clyde suffered from an old leg injury that had never properly healed and was overweight. Bonnie was overweight and suffered from hair loss. No one wanted to adopt them since they were older and had health issues. They were also a bonded pair that suffered extreme anxiety when separated. Jacque met Bonnie and Clyde while volunteering at the animal shelter and knew they were perfect candidates for the sanctuary, which had just opened. She arranged for Bonnie and Clyde’s transfer and on the day of their departure from the shelter, they jumped (!) into the back seat of her truck and barked and howled with joy on the ride over. They found the river, they found love, and in short order, demonstrated a remarkable recovery of mind, body and spirit. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I asked Jacque how she managed it all. She said, \u201cWhenever things start looking tight or I get overwhelmed, I talk to Sara (the prematurely euthanized Rottweiler that sanctuary is named after). She is my angel watching over the sanctuary, and every time I talk to her, things start to turn around and work out. She is always around. When we have to help a dog transition to their next journey, Sara is there to help them. She is taking care of the sanctuary and I am just holding on for the ride. I could not have done any of this without her.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
