It is with heavy hearts that we must tell you of the passing of our beautiful girl Candy.

Candy was one of the saddest cases we have ever come across, she was found lying in the middle of the road, the volunteer thought she was hit by a car and left to die , but when she saw her , Candy lifted up her little head and looked at her – hoping this time someone would help her.  She was covered in ticks, was in an emaciated state and in a very poor condition. She tested positive for Leishmania and it had started to affect her organs. Although her luck had changed that day – it did not go smoothly for her…she was moved to a foster home and while the foster was at work, one of her other dogs attacked Candy so bad that she almost died. She amazingly recovered from this and was moved to the rescue, whereupon she was bitten by an enormous venomous snake. But in true terrier style, she overcame this…the thing about Candy was she knew that things had to get better, she had hope and faith they would…and they did.

Lindsay and her family , like us , saw Candy, and knew she had to have a chance at a life of love. So Terrier SOS put those wheels in motion and Candy left Spain and went North! She was loved from Day One, received cuddles by the boatload, love and care. She maintained her feisty personality and blossomed – off lead running with her pals Fred and Rita, lounging on the sofa, getting up to mischief and mayhem whenever possible.

Candy is a special dog for her family, but also for all in rescue. Candy was hope, she fought every day because she knew that tomorrow could be the day that changes everything – she is a symbol to the beauty of life – to enjoy the present, not live in the past, and never lose the ability to love again.

Our thoughts and sympathies go to her family, we have posted some photos of Candy in her good life, as we want her to be remembered this way. We want to thank Lindsay and David for opening their hearts and home to this little girl, and giving her the love she deserved.
