I am the proud owner of Peaches Serrano. Peaches is ½ Pug and ½  Jack Russell Terrier, which makes her a Jug. My kids always wanted a dog , so my mom promised them a dog. Before she could get it she got sick and died of kidney failure. So after she died I felt I needed to honor her wish and get the kids a dog. A friend from my job referred us to a woman who recuses dogs. We went to see her and purchased Peaches. Normally you wouldn’t pay for a recuse dog, this was a special circumstance. From the time she was a puppy she was always such a good dog and we would run and play she evens howls like a wolf. She is 7 now she still has so much energy and life in her... I couldn’t imagine being without her. We named her Peaches because that was my mom’s nickname.
    Please help our little girl with her cancer treatment and help save her life. We love her so very much.

Throughout our time together, my dog Mini and I have traded off teaching each other and keeping each other safe from harm. I could say that I rescued Mini almost ten years ago when my sister and I decided to accept a teenager's offer of a free puppy in front of a gas station, or I could say that Mini rescued me at that time by giving me a crash course in caring for someone other than myself – something I desperately needed as an unexpectedly pregnant twenty-two year old. As Mini grew to be an adult dog, I provided a shelter and food, and she taught me what true patience is (allowing a baby to put food in and out of your mouth!), what unconditional love means (turning around and licking a toddler on the cheek after she pulls your tail!), and the definition of selflessness (getting up countless times in the night, even when you're sick, to go all the way downstairs and make sure that little noise wasn't a bad guy coming to hurt your family!).
