DONATIONS

Sponsored Shelter or Pounds

So often rural or low income areas have no funding for the companion animals in their care. As much as we are able we will donate supplies to those shelters for the care of their animals. If you would like your donation to go to this effort please note “sponsored pound” on your memo or note.

RESCUES OR FUNDS WE CONTRIBUTE TO:

  • CT Municipal Pounds
  • Trisha Davids – TN
  • FORT PIERCE LOVES ANIMALS – FL

Sponsored Dog Donations

Often times we rescue a dog with special needs or in need of additional supplies, vetting etc. You may donate and have your gift “restricted” to be used only for that specific dog.

Please note the name of the dog you’re sponsoring in your check or online donation. We will post frequent updates of any sponsored dog on social media.

Thank you!

I am always saddened by the death of a good person. It is from this sadness that a feeling of gratitude emerges. I feel honored to have known them and blessed that their passing serves as a reminder to me that my time on this beautiful earth is limited and that I should seize the opportunity I have to forgive, share, explore, and love. I can think of no greater way to honor the deceased than to live this way.”

Sylvia K. Wakefield Obituary

March 25, 1932  –  August 17, 2024
In Loving Memory

Sylvia K. Wakefield, of Northport, FL & North Haven, CT, passed away peacefully in her FL home surrounded by family on August 17, 2024. Born in New Haven, CT, March 25, 1932 to parents, the late Edward Kohn and Freda Kohn Hendel, Sylvia was the wife for almost 70 years of the late William “Bill” Wakefield, mother of Lynn Wakefield-Testa, David Wakefield (Ann) and the late Marty Wakefield. She was very proud of her children, her grandchildren (Mark (Jenn), Kim (Josh), Chris (Emily), Laura (Lindsay), and Jonathan), and her 7 great-grandchildren.

She will be missed for her quick wit, brilliance, her creative energy, for always working to do the right thing, and her fearlessness to confront challenging situations.

Sylvia was a graduate of Quinnipiac University in business administration, Regional Manager for Coppercraft Guild, and built her successful sales business as the owner of Wakefield Interiors until her retirement. She was a social butterfly with her UI engineering and UCONN basketball-loving couples friends, her membership with the Red Hat Society, her bible study sessions, workout classes, and Mahjong games. Above all, she loved painting. Her paintings have graced her family and friends’ walls throughout her lifetime. Sylvia volunteered by teaching oil painting to elderly dementia patients at the Masonic home and for the caregivers of congregants of the Lutheran Church of Living Waters in North Port FL. Sylvia will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

The visiting hours will be Thursday morning, August 22nd from 9:00 to 10:30 at The Havens Family North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue. A funeral service will follow at Christ the Good Shepard Lutheran Church, 600 Shepard Avenue, Hamden at 11:00. Interment will be at Center Cemetery, Elm Street, North Haven. Sylvia and Bill had 6 rescue dogs over their lifetime together and would appreciate donations to Dog Days Adoption Events at www.GoDogDays.org in lieu of flowers.

In Loving Memory of a forever advocate;
The Keeper of the Rainbow Bridge
UPDATE: Steve was no stranger to the tough areas of any given town and Dog Days gave all money donated in Steve’s honor to dogs in municipal pounds. If you would like to continue donations in Steve’s memory we will use all money for dogs in municipal shelter – thank you.
We are shocked and saddened, beyond measure, by Steve’s sudden passing. He was the significant force behind our prison project at York, CT – the Red Dog Project. His passion for helping dogs was boundless. His determination and effort to make a lasting and significant difference in the lives of shelter dogs and the inmate handlers was only one of his many legacies.
His good humor, constant optimism and unyielding loyalty were the hallmarks of his character and he was truly loved.
We miss him but heaven has gained an extraordinary soul –
we’ll see you at the Bridge Steve.
