A Message From Elyssa Vander Linden
This was my best friend Gizmo, he passed away in August of 2021. Gizmo was in my life for around 12 years. He was a shelter dog, brought in as a stray completed matted and covered in fleas. He didn’t look like a “cute” dog when we saw him but we saw his personality underneath all the hair and fleas and dirt. After he was free of his hair and got a good bath he completed became a new dog. He was the most loving and playful dog I ever met. Help donate to help shelter pets, i met my best friend in one and taking him home was the best decision ever. We miss you Gizmo!
