Luna’s Story
The Story of a Mother and Her Puppies
In helping one, sometimes we help many...
Those of us who are here in support of Save-A-Pet’s rescued animals have a common bond.We are woven from the same
fabric, the threads of which are sewn with kindness. It’s not something we decide to be—it’s just who we are. In our hearts, we
want to believe that all people are innately kind, but sadly much cruelty exists in the world. Among the most who suffer at the
hands of these heartless offenders are our innocent companion animals.
At Save-A-Pet, we face this harsh reality on a daily basis—but it never gets easier to
look into a pair of frightened eyes, behind which is the shattered spirit or broken body of a
dog or cat who was deemed “worthless.” Such is the story of Luna.
Luna, a young Shepherd mix, was brought into the animal emergency
hospital in July because she was in labor, moments away from giving birth.
The people who brought her in told the veterinarian to put her to sleep
because they were angry that she had “gotten herself pregnant” and they did
not want to deal with her or her puppies. The doctor, horrified at the condition
of this poor dog and even more disgusted at the heartlessness of these
people, took Luna in. They walked out the door and never looked
back. Left behind was a terrified mother-to-be—a young dog with
deep sadness in her eyes and barely enough strength to keep herself
standing. She had been virtually starved to death.
Anyone who believes that dogs don’t feel emotions should have seen Luna
that day.Though she couldn’t speak with words, it was clear that she was in a
state of desperation, wanting only to find a safe place to give birth to her
pups. She had arrived at the emergency room just in time. As if she had held
out as long as she could, Luna knew she was now in good hands.Within minutes of arriving through the doors, her puppies began to be born. Doctors feared
she would not survive for she was nothing but skin and bones. Still, they were determined to
help this young mother live to see the nine beautiful puppies that were soon to be born. Sadly,
with Luna’s condition, two puppies died shortly after birth, but six more survived.
When Luna’s condition was stable, she was transported to Save-a-Pet and yet another puppy was born! The Save-A-Pet
staff and volunteers, while mourning the loss of the first two pups, believed that seven would be a lucky number. In need of a
quiet foster home, the Lohsen family stepped up to the plate and took Luna and babies home where they would provide them
all with the care they needed to get stronger and to feel comfortable and safe. Because of their commitment and love, all seven
pups and Mommy Luna thrived!
After eight weeks of constant care, Luna and her babies were ready to be adopted.With careful screening and a promise to
Luna that ALL would go on to have a wonderful life, Save-A-Pet found loving homes for everyone.Two months later, Luna is
romping and playing and enjoying all the comforts of home, content that she was able to be a good mom and healed in mind,
body and spirit. Her puppies, all in homes of their own, continue to flourish and experience all the joys of puppy-hood.
Mother Theresa once said that “No one can do great things alone, but together we can do small things with great love.”
All it takes is kindness, and with people like all of you, we can change the world, one dog at a time. Sometimes in helping one,
we help many…

It’s been just seven short years that Save-A-Pet has been in the Port Jefferson area. In those seven years, thousands
of dogs and cats have found restored health, love, companionship and live happily ever after. By uniting with our
Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter, we have together accomplished this mission on a grander scale.
One of Save-A-Pets important community efforts is alleviating the suffering of feral (undomesticated) cats. The
only humane solution to this crisis is T.N.R., which stands for TRAP, NEUTER, RETURN. The cats are humanely
trapped, sterilized, vaccinated, tested for disease and released back to be fed and overseen by community caretakers.
With the help of the families of Dr. Cliff Conarck and Mary Samson, both great humanitarians, we have opened
up C.L.I.F.F.S Clinic, our own feral cat spay/neuter facility. The anagram stands for Creating Long Islands Feral
Feline Solution. Under the direction of Dr. Lynda Loudon and Dr.Tim Sheppard, the public can bring feral cats for
spay/neuter services at a reduced rate. They may also make arrangements for recuperation of the ferals at our shelter
if needed. Items such as traps and houses are also available. In just one year we have spayed and neutered 800 cats!
This year we are hoping to move and expand to a new location and be able to help even more animals. We are
looking at property close to our present shelter but will be adding more kennel space for our rescued companion
animals. We are planning on having a larger spay/neuter clinic, a humane education center, a full service pet grooming salon, pet boarding, dog training and everything you’ll need for your furry friends. All of the proceeds from these
services will support the shelter animals. It’s a win/win situation. But we need your help. Our dreams are high but
our funds are low. We are a vital part of the community. Please help us continue our mission.
I am proud to be a founder and president of such a wonderful, growing organization. The staff and volunteers are
without a doubt some of the most dedicated, compassionate people I have ever met and I am privileged to have them
on my team.
This evening is appropriately named ‘An Evening for the Love of Animals.’ It is for all of us, who love and cherish our companion animals and want to help end the suffering of others. It’s for those who want a safe haven for the
orphaned animals in our community. Together we can
make a difference. Together we can change their lives,
one at a time.
So for this evening, enjoy the warmth of good company, food, drink and all we have to offer. And feel good
knowing that thanks to you, the animals are enjoying the
same at Save-A-Pet.
Sincerely,
Dori Scofield and ‘Gianni’

A Tribute to Waldo and Mia
HERO TO OUR COUNTRY
HERO TO ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
SAVE-A-PET ANIMAL RESCUE
HONORS THE LIFE OF
U.S. ARMY
CORPORAL JAMES EDWARD LUNDIN
5/14/87-5/30/07
We would like to thank his family and friends for their
generous donations in memory of Corporal Lundin
Many animals lives were saved in his honor
“A good dog never dies, he always stays;
He walks beside you on crisp autumn daysWhen frost is on the fields and winter’s drawing near
Your old dog has not left you….
His soul is still here.”
Dear Waldo and Mia,
I wish you were here to see all the good that is happening at Save-A-Pet. As
two of my largest rescue dogs you’d both be happy to know we have helped a
few Mastiffs this year. Not to mention, hundreds of wonderful pure and
mixed breed dogs.
You taught me more than any human ever could. You taught me of
unconditional love, trust, loyalty and true friendship. You inspire me to keep
on rescuing others when human cruelty makes me want to give up in defeat.
But, I won’t let the others down. In your honor I continue the mission we
began together.
At Save-A-Pet, the most prestigious award is the Waldo Award. And now, in the
passing of Mia, we are adding an award in her honor. Each year it is given to an outstanding member of our community who’s commitment to the animals is seen in all that is done for Save-A-Pet. . .
someone who is not looking for recognition, but who’s selfless acts of kindness reflect in the atmosphere of SaveA-Pet. Now we will be honoring an outstanding man with The Waldo Award and an outstanding woman with
The Mia Award. In your honor, we will continue this annually.
Although you are gone from this earth, you will never be forgotten. True inspiration lives forever, for it is
passed on to those we connect with. It is a circle of love that gets bigger and stronger with every link. Our circle keeps growing thanks to you.
Forever loved, Forever missed, Forever in my heart,
Dori
P.S:Thank you for sending “Gianni” to me,
I know both your souls live with him.
See You at the Rainbow Bridge

For Flo Thompson
In memory of my mom
Who’s love and comfort carry on
In all the animals in our care
A part of you, they’ll always share
You led me on this path of love
And guide me with your light above
Each life I help is just my way
Of keeping you with me every day
So on days when tireless efforts fail
And there’s no donations in the mail
I stay steadfast toward our goal
Because you’re here in heart and soul.
Though we miss you mom you’ll always be
The star atop our family tree
Grandma, mother, wife and friend
Your circle of love, will never end.
Your loving daughter,
Lynne

Ten years ago, I adopted Pumpkin at the age of 8 weeks. She was a
gentle ball of fun, the runt of her litter, and had been raised at Save-A-Pet
Animal Rescue and Adoption Center in Port Jefferson. During an animal
adoption event I was running for Save-A-Pet, Pumpkin was left behind at
the end of the night, unwanted. She climbed the cage, crying out, so I held
her and comforted her. I then promised that I would always care for her.
Pumpkin grew to be an exceptional, healthy life force, who gave back
so much love. She was beautiful and unique, with vivid markings that included little ringlets on her tail, and bright yellow eyes that watched me when I
slept. She was sweet, playful and had a silly sense of humor, but was also
quite the judge of character. Pumpkin would love to converse, with her distinct meows that sometimes mimicked my inflections, and would join in on
telephone conversations, but only for a special few. Pumpkin even provided
her distinctive trills on my humorous answering machine message that
made her seem like she was answering the phone. When I wrote articles at
my computer, Pumpkin would keep me company on her special chair, right
next to mine.
In December, she was diagnosed with chylothroax, an accumulation of
fluid in the chest. During her illness, Pumpkin had the best quality of life
possible. She was doing all, but just doing it slower. She braved all of her
treatments and thrived, and great thanks go to
the Syosset Animal Hospital, whose staff remembers Pumpkin as a "real trouper." After seven
weeks, though, Pumpkin's body could not stand
the strain anymore. Her health declined quickly
and she became weak. During that last night,
Pumpkin's feline housemate and best friend since
kittenhood, Angel, knew it was Pumpkin's time to
go, and kissed her a few times on the neck to say
goodbye. During the euthanasia procedure, I was
completely heartbroken, but I stood strong to
hold Pumpkin's head the whole time. I spoke soft(c)2007 Alicyn Leigh Photography
ly over her ear, telling her that she was very much
loved. I also promised to see her again at the Rainbow Bridge.
Pumpkin will be greatly missed, but will always be remembered as a "purrfect" pet.
“Meet you at the Rainbow Bridge as you are forever in my heart."
