Lolli, an 8-year-old Havanese, came into rescue at the end of March 2026. Deaf, and with very limited vision in her one remaining eye, Lolli faced challenges that might have slowed another dog down — but not our girl. She embraced life with quiet courage, determination, and a loving spirit that quickly captured the heart of her foster mother. Despite her disabilities, she enjoyed her life and continuously amazed her foster mom.

Last weekend, Lolli was not feeling like herself. She lost interest in food and she was not her usual bright and happy self. A veterinary visit and x-rays revealed a large mass in her stomach, and bloodwork showed marked changes from her recent results. An ultrasound the following morning confirmed our worst fears — Lolli had a bleeding hemangiosarcoma. Given the grave prognosis, along with her other health challenges, the heartbreaking decision was made to let her go peacefully.

It is always painful to say goodbye, but when everything changes so suddenly, the shock and heartbreak feel even greater. Our hearts are especially with her devoted foster mom, Teri, who loved Lolli deeply and gave her the gift of comfort, security, and unconditional love during her final months. We cannot thank Teri enough for opening her heart and home to this very special little dog.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Felker and the team at Kingsdale Animal Hospital for the compassion and care they showed Lolli and her Save Me family during such a difficult time.

Run free, sweet Lolli. Though your time with us was far too short, you were loved, and you will never be forgotten.
