For Mike

In previous blogs Board Members have written about the reasons we became involved with Safe Place for Pets. Last week the connection of the Board and volunteers to our mission became very personal when Mike Duncan, a tireless advocate for his community and vice-president of the Safe Place Board of Directors died of cancer. Before he died, Mike entrusted his dog, Beau, to our care. Beau had become a part of Mike’s household when his owners needed a favor and there he stayed until Mike needed a favor.  He knew that we would find a new forever home for Beau and was able to put that worry to rest before he died. It is our privilege to serve Mike and all those who find themselves needing to re-home their beloved pets due to a terminal illness.
