Braedon & Brighton - Rest In Peace Scottish Terrier Dallas, TX

Looking back

On the memory of

The dance we shared

'Neath the stars above

For a moment

All the world was right

But how could I have known

That you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end

The way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance...

With extreme sadness and heartbreak, we announce Braedon & Brighton have traveled to the Rainbow Bridge. Brighton had a tumor on his spleen that burst and Braedon stopped responding to chemotherapy and was not eating for several days, despite our efforts with home-cooked meals. These two boys are as bonded as two Scots can be, so it is only fitting that they take their final journey together. They have been privately cremated, together, and their ashes have been returned to us to join the others we have lost before them. Rest In Peace Boys. It was a valiant fight that ended all too soon.

Braedon & Brighton are our social assistance dogs that help us with evaluating new dogs that come into rescue. They are true blood brothers/littermates and are as bonded as any pair of dogs can be. They were diagnosed with Lymphoma just 30 days apart. Their very special demeanor assists us with dogs that have never been properly socialized, have aggression issues or otherwise are "problem" dogs. Their special attitude has helped us with literally dozens of dogs over the years and is one of the main reasons we have never had to euthanize a dog for behavioral problems.

Sadly, at 13 years old, Braedon & Brighton have developed Lymphoma. We are treating them with "light" chemotherapy to allow them pain-free days, as well as more time with us. They currently have a good appetite and still enjoy their "work time" with new dogs that come to us. While we are devastated by this news, our priority is their comfort. Please consider assisting us with Braedon & Brighton's care:

All dogs adopted by Scottie Kingdom Rescue, Inc. have had a full medical exam by one of our licensed Veterinarians, which includes testing (and treatment, if necessary) for Heartworm disease, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis, all necessary vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, dental cleaning as necessary, microchipping, registration of the microchip, and any other medical needs each particular dog may need. Copies of all available medical records are transferred to you when the adoption is finalized.

We prefer to adopt to families with past Scottie, Westie, Terrier experience, but realize this isn't always possible. We do NOT ship our pets. If you have that special place in your heart, and in your home, for a Scottie (or any of our other available rescue dogs), please visit us in Dallas for an in person meet & greet session with our available dogs. If you have existing dogs, they should travel to Dallas with you, so we can be assured that they will be compatible with the new addition to your family.

Please contact us at
Rescue@scottiekingdom.com
to receive an Adoption Application or for more information on our Adoption process. Also, please take the time to visit our website
www.scottiekingdom.com
for additional information.

We sometimes receive several applications on the same dog. Our goal is to place the dog in the best home possible, based on his/her needs, personality and past history. Please note: Adoptions are not done on a first come, first served basis. Submitting an application does not guarantee the adoption of any dog. We are looking for the best available home for each of our rescue dogs.

Thank you for your understanding, and for considering adoption!

We are
not
supported by your tax dollars or public grants, rather, we rely on donations to help us continue our rescue work for animals that are in need.
