Always In Our Hearts
Some of us have been fortunate enough to have a special dog as a friend at some point in our life. During their short lives, these gentle souls take root in our hearts and change us forever. This page is dedicated to the dogs we'll never forget and always miss. Donations to Catahoula Rescue, Inc. have been made in their memory so that others of their kind might also find that special someone. If you would like to remember a special friend, please Contact Us for details.
Bulldog
In Loving Remembrance
April 1990 - March 1999
Bulldog was his name, not his breed. Bull was a good ol' Texas cow dog from working stock. He was Catahoula and Black Mouth Cur, with some Shepherd thrown in. Bull knew more about life than I ever will, and all my rescue efforts are dedicated to his memory.

Hope
Ten years old and riddled with cancer, Kimmi was dumped in a cold concrete shelter and left to
die. Her sweet face touched the heart of a Catahoula Rescue Angels and she was given a
wonderful home to live out the rest of her life. She was given two weeks to live, but once
there she blossomed, no longer on death's doorstep. Given a new life, Kimmi was renamed Hope.
"On December 8, 2006-one year, five months and eight days after Hope came into my life, I
smiled through my tears as I laid my dear old friend to rest. Hope has taught me more about
the power of love and life than any human ever could…." Barbara McGillicuddy
Beau Grady Dear friends, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our
dear friend, companion, and master squirrel hunter, Beau Grady (Spanogle).
The toughest dog on the planet left us Tuesday night, after a long fight with osteosarcoma -
most rounds of which, he won. Jax, Maggie, Chris, Bonnie, Earl and Tig will miss him very much.
He's now in a place with no traffic, thunderstorms, or fences....Run fast, hound dog. Run fast.
In lieu of flowers, bones, or sympathy steaks, we'd prefer that you make a tax-deductible
donation to Catahoula Rescue, and help another wonderful dog like Beau find a forever home.

Echo "
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Lisa A.'s Echo. She was a
true and loyal friend to Lisa and her family for a great many years and the inspiration for
Lisa's artwork, including the Bellamy Brother's T-shirts above and numerous other pieces, to
raise money for rescue. She was and always will be the original Modelhoula, a great spokesdog
for the Catahoula breed as a whole and especially those in need. Goodbye old friend and thank
you for all you have given us, your legacy will live on in the countless Catahoulas you have
helped save. You are now free of pain and old age, to run and play at the rainbow bridge. Caleb "Big stick
lover, rock carrier, elk chaser. Thank you for all the lives you touched in eight years.
Now, run free, chase wallabies and howl all you want.
Caleb, we love you! With loving memories, your pack and family." David Huhn Pinky Pinky, my first Catahoula. Deaf, sweet, and a wonderful friend, we lost her last August after 9 years.
Her inability to hear never got in the way of her ability to love her family... Rick Zand Juma Lobell In loving memory of Margie's Juma, Reilly In memory of our beloved Reilly. He needed more than we could give or get for him. He is at peace and in the loving hands of Our Lord. We know Reilly will be there to greet us when our time comes. Happy Days! Rei, Rei. We Love You! WHISKEY For Renee, in loving memory of Whiskey.
