In Memory of Lady

June - August 2006

"...May the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars."

Just 3 months old, Lady, a pit bull mix, suffered an untimely death in a crime that the Humane Society of the U.S. called “one of the most egregious, high-profile cases of animal cruelty in Georgia history”. The defendants were each sentenced to 10 years in prison for Lady’s death. The HSUS awarded the Atlanta prosecutors the prestigious Humane Law Enforcement Award for their relentless efforts to seek justice for Lady.

Though she was on Earth just a brief time, Lady's tragic story rallied animal lovers around the world to take a stand against cruelty to animals. A memorial in Lady's honor has been established on the Atlanta Pet Rescue web site. Atlanta Pet Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill shelter entirely funded by private donations. To make a donation to Lady's Fund, which will be used to help other abused and injured animals, click on the following link: http://www.atlantapetrescue.org/www_ver2/rainbowbridge.htm#L


Lady, your spirit lives on, and you will never be forgotten.
