Pepito - R.I.P
Meet Pepito - January 17, 2017
Little Pepito (originally Skippy) has come to our rescue, completely broken and has lost all hope. He is young, but does not know what love is. He doesn't know how to accept affection. He barely wants to leave the filthy little crate that he came in.
Pepito is here with his sister Blu-berry. They have both embarked on a long journey towards their healthy and loving "happily ever after". Please check back for updates.
Update - February 2017
Pepito has been examined by our vet, has had an ultrasound, and has visited a cardiologist. Unfortunately this broken boy has a broken heart ... literally. Pepito has congestive heart failure, and his days are sadly numbered.
We are going to make sure Pepito will be loved and well cared for for the rest of his days no matter how long he has. Please consider making a donation towards his care, please help us help this deserving boy.

Pepito had a photo shoot by the amazing and talented Michael Ciurleo . Isn't he adorable?
Update - April 2022
There are no words to adequately express our sadness and devastation of having lost our dearest Pepito. This brave little boy went from terrified to affectionate and sociable, from broken to thriving, and from being on the brink of dying to beating all the odds and living way past expectations. Pepito had a lot to do and a lot to experience. No wonder he didn’t want to go anywhere. He was determined to make up for the lost time and cherish every moment that he had. This boy was the poster child for “living life to the fullest”.
Unfortunately his beautiful big heart could not take it anymore and he very unexpectedly went into cardiac arrest.
Everybody loved Pepito. And we are sure everybody will remember Pepito, his quirks, his pretzel legs, his soulful big “goldfish” eyes, and his awkward and endearing affections forever.
Here’s to your beautiful and pure soul, Pepi! Until we meet again.
