On March 10, 2012, our loyal, loving boy, Puck, closed his eyes for the last time. For the last six months Puck had been living with failing kidneys but he fought a gallant fight until the end. We knew his time with us was limited but that doesn’t lessen our sadness at his passing.

We first saw Puck on his adoption page where he was described as a “gentle giant”. This was a true description as he was a big boy, but the gentlest of souls. He found his “forever family” the minute we saw him. By the end of the long ride home from the kennel in White Plains, NY to his new home in Delaware, he knew we were his family and he was finally home.

In his later years, Puck’s favorite activity was curling up on the couch with anyone who was sitting there. He loved being the center of attention (which he always was) and if he thought he wasn’t getting enough of your attention, he would nudge your elbow or put his head on your knee (especially if you were eating). He just loved being with his family almost as much as we loved having him with us.

Puck loved his home and was not pleased when we took him on vacation or to visit other family members. He just wanted us all to be at home with him on his couch.

Puck was the best boy and we were so fortunate and privileged to have had him in our lives for 7 of his 12 years.

We will miss him forever but we will always have him in our hearts.

Rest in peace, Pucky boy. Heavens gain is our loss.

With eternal gratitude and love,

Puck’s Forever Family:

Joyce and Bob
Jaime, Todd and Staci Prater

Puck is a gentle giant--what a sweetheart! He will just lay down, put his head on your leg, and look at you with his soulful brown eyes. You can put your arms around him and use him as a pillow. Puck is a very comforting dog—the kind that makes you feel good and safe just to be around. Puck is at his prime age. He is mellow, but also loves a good game of fetch and walks. He knows all the basic commands like a pro. Puck is one of those dogs that, once he knows you aren’t going anywhere, he doesn’t even need to be on a leash. He will follow you everywhere—what loyalty! I fell in love with Puck and he deserves nothing but the best. He prefers to be the only dog in the house for right now. Because of the constant shuffle and the nerve-wrecking experience of being in a kennel, Puck deserves to be spoiled. Please take Puck home and spoil him. Don’t leave him. He will be your best friend, your guardian, and the best darn dog you’ll ever meet. He will show you nothing but a lifetime of love, gratitude, and that cute boxer wiggle will prove it.

Puck is so sweet, he has been bounced from home to kennel. He needs a home without other pets at this time so he can chill out and feel safe again. He lived with another dog but feeling insecure he doesn't want another one around when he is feeling this way. Please open your heart to this poor sweet dog. He is in a kennel that is costing us money that we could use for a sick dog, please help or donate a week of boarding for this noble soul.
