Hi my name is Holly McGee.
I was privileged enough to receive Liberty Bell from patriot service dogs in Jacksonville Florida. I cannot begin to tell you what a blessing it is to have liberty belle with me. After spending many years where I've only been able to sleep 20 minutes at a time here and there…to be able to sleep for two hours straight is an unbelievable feat to accomplish. Having liberty by my side allowed me to be able to sleep for about two hours at a time. So instead of only getting about two hours a day sleep now I'm actually able to get about four and sometimes once in a while even six hours a day of sleep. I am also extremely hyper vigilant so to be able to have a dog by my side that made me feel a little bit more secure is awesome. For many years , several years, I didn't leave my house except when one of my adult children would go with me after they got off work. So most of my shopping was done either by them, without me or after dark. Now I am able to leave my house and go to the VA hospital by myself with Libby. I am able to go to some stores that I consider safe zones as long as she is by my side. She keeps people at a distance from me which is part of but she was trained to do and that is a tremendous help. She alerts me when someone approaches me from my right side or behind because I have no hearing in that ear. And you cannot imagine how reassuring that is. I was incredibly jumpy when people would approach me from behind. Sometimes they would approach from the side and I did not hear them coming. I would literally want to jump out of my skin. she would alert me and let me know so that I was prepared when someone comes to close. I also have PTSD MST and she had the ability that she would keep men at a distance. she would put herself between me and a man to allow me to feel safer. She looked around corners for me before I approach them and let me know by the wag of her tail that everything's OK, and I could go around the corner in safety. On occasion my breathing stops in my sleep, and liberty would pounce on my chest to get me breathing again. She gave me the opportunity at a new life that I would not have otherwise had. Without her I would still be locked in my room, keeping the world out away from me. She wasa huge blessing in my life. I cannot thank patriots service dogs enough for what they have done to bring me some of my life back.

Roscoe -
1/1/2011 - 9/18/2026

We will miss our beloved Border Collie, Roscoe, “The Good Doctor”. He was more than a family dog — he was the hardest working cowboy in the field. Even at the very end, he was ready to work until we let him know it was OK to lay down & take his well-earned rest.

Milo Puglet
7/1/2011-9/24/2025
Milo was a once in a lifetime dog, the best dog ever. He was loved and I’m sure he loved me…he was quirky and funny. Never met a human he didn’t love, he went to doggy day care not to play with the dogs but to see the humans. He merely tolerated the other dogs. Milo went everywhere with me, he moved to and from Connecticut, went to Walmart, Home Depot, the beach and even restaurants. As he aged he wandered the neighborhood; he mastered in escape artistry. Neighbors called Milo the Mayor of Hummingbird Lane among other things. I’ll never stop missing him.
I’m very thankful that I could find Dr Randazzo to come to our house to send him on his final journey from the comfort of my arms and home.

Tux was our gift and was truly loved by all. Tux was a Second Chance dog when we got him, and thank you for the work Second Chance does, because Tux was a handful at the beginning. But the love that Second Chance gave him was also the love we chose to give him, and he became our little fluff of whatever kind of dog he was—a good boy. It was time for Tux to walk up the stairs and visit all his old buddies waiting for him. We are very thankful for the kind and caring hands of Paws in Heaven to help him and us on this step in life. Tux will be missed, but his memories are still a conversation piece, and the smiles on everyone during these times reflect the joy Tux brought to all of us.

Tanker was my best friend. I got him at 8 weeks old and he was the most loyal dog we’ve ever had. He never left my side. If I were outside he would be outside with me.
What ever room I was in, he was with me. Our family loves him dearly and miss him so much. Many thanks to Dr. Randazzo for giving us such peace and dignity in his passing. We are forever grateful to her.

Lola came into my life in 2011 when I was 14 as a surprise gift for my mom. My mom did not want her, but I convinced her to keep Lola. Lola immediately became my dog. She went to my dad’s with me on the weekends and once I got my drivers license, she came with me everywhere. She was a great travel companion. In 2014, Lola was diagnosed with glaucoma and once the eye drops no longer helped with the swelling, the vet recommended euthanasia or removal of both eyes. I wanted to remove the eyes as she was blind anyway and still had so much life ahead of her. My mother was adamant that we would not have a dog with no eyes, so my grandpa and I snuck Lola out of the house in the early hours of the morning so she could have her surgery. That was the first day of my senior year of high school and I remember being so anxious to hear about my girl. The surgery went well and I picked her up after school. She was much happier already, she didn’t have to hide under the bed in pain anymore. The following year Lola and I moved to Colorado together, then back to Missouri when my husband and I first moved in together. She was with us through many trips, getting married, buying our house and having our two kids. Lola always adjusted well and was always so gentle and easygoing. Over the past three years, Lola declined severely and began having many accidents in the house and not wanting to eat much. The worst was the confusion, she would wonder the house all day bumping into things. Our heads knew it was time, but our hearts couldn’t do it in the hope she would peacefully pass in her sleep at home. We finally made the decision on August 1st 2026 to put Lola down. It was a heartbreaking day and the silence through the house without her was deafening. Though we were lucky to have had fifteen years with her, our home will never be the same without our girl.

Tommy has been a huge part of our family since 2015. He was a Puppies for Parole dog when we saw his picture and went to meet him we knew right then and there he was coming home with us. He was described as a clown and he definitely was. He was such a wonderful part of our family and such a good boy. We miss coming home to his smiling face and his funny way of telling me to hurry up with his breakfast and dinner. Our sweet boy went to rest on August 4, 2026 and the house seems so empty without him. Dr. Randazzo helped us through the agonizing decision and process and we were with our Tommy until the end. He will forever be in our hearts.

My family had to say goodbye to our dog Clara of 15 years. We adopted her from Second Chance in Columbia. She was a well tempered, fun and loving dog who loved to give little kisses on your nose. We are very thankful to have Paws from Heaven, Dr. Randazzo, help us through this process so Clara can pass in her home surrounded by her family.

We had to say goodbye to our sweet Thelma girl after a wonderful 18 years with her.

Thelma bonded with my children as they grew up. She became particularly fond of my son Eric and we would often refer to her as Eric’s cat. He was her person. She hung out in his room and was very devoted and loving to him. To her I was just her feeder and her cleaner of the litter box! As Eric grew up and moved out, Thelma and I bonded. After her sister Louise passed away, we truly became best friends. We traveled together from Missouri to Michigan many times. She was an amazing little traveler, as she would sleep on the seat next to me, but would get up, jump down and use her litter box while cruising down the highway at 70 mph! She adapted to every new surroundings like a champ! We worked through the management of her chronic kidney disease with many trips to the vet for fluids, bloodwork and prescription refills. We were getting old together and I always referred to us as the two traveling old ladies.

Thelma loved her fancy feast food, her electric blanket, her special little kitty bed she received for Christmas. In the summer she adored lounging on the screened in porch! But mostly, Thelma loved her humans and snuggling with them

At night she would sleep with me purring loudly, asking for pets and nuzzling right into me so that her head would rest on my shoulder. Oh how I miss that now. 💔

When she passed a piece of my heart went with her. I miss her everyday!

RIP my sweet Thelma! I love you so much!
