Our Lost Souls
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
*Author Unknown*

Noah, 7 week old German Shepherd- We love and miss you little pickles!
Elliot, 9 week old Lab mix-Our hearts were broken the day you left us little man, but we will see you again at the bridge some day!
Baby Darren, 5 week old German Shepherd mix- We tried with everything we had little peanut! Your precious little being will be embedded in our hearts forever!
Sammy, Mariah, Moses, Shane, Landon, Travis, Britta, and Seth, Our lives will never be the same without you little ones...you will ALWAYS have a special place in our hearts and will NEVER be forgotten! Until we meet at the bridge...we love you!
A Poem to Our Foster Dogs
I am the bridge Between what was and what can be. I am the pathway to a new life. I am made of mush, Because my heart melted When I saw you, Matted and sore, limping, depressed, Lonely, unwanted, afraid to love. For one little time you are mine. I will feed you with my own hand I will love you with my whole heart I will make you whole. I am made of steel. Because when the time comes, When you are well and sleek, When your eyes shine, And your tail wags with joy- Then comes the hard part. I will let you go-- not without a tear, But without a regret. For you are safe forever. A new dog needs me now.
By Diane Morgan

Who We Are
Deacon's Hope was founded on Oct. 29, 2005 by Donna Smith and Family. It was inspired by our German Shepherd Deacon. Deacon was a part of our family for almost 17 years! Deacon's Hope is in dedication to him. In honor of him, Deacon's Hope will save as many GSD's and large breed dogs as possible, vet them and place in the best possible homes. DHR is an all volunteer program. We DO NOT have a shelter. All DHR animals are fostered in homes with one of our volunteer foster families. We have 100% spay/neuter policy. NO animals leave us unaltered! NO EXCEPTIONS!
Mission Statement:
Deacon's Hope is dedicated to saving German Shepherds and other large breeds from kill shelters and finding the best possible placement for them. All animals will be spayed/neutered and updated on shots prior to adoption. Deacon's Hope is No Kill and adoptable animals will remain in foster care until they are adopted or indefinitely. Only animals with a terminal illness from which they will suffer, or not placable due to aggression will be humanely euthanized. We also believe education about spaying and neutering and proper vetting is key to the prevention of unwanted pets.
Adopting a friend:
Our adoption fee is $175.00 for dogs. (unless otherwise stated)
Application and contract also apply.
An application must be submitted before meeting any DHR animal.
We do require a home visit.
We will have cats every so often. Our cat adoption fee is $80.00.
Please email for details-THANK YOU!
Our Featured Pet
Hannah
Poor, poor Hannah! Who could do such a thing to such a sweet girl? We just don't understand how someone could starve this beautiful, sweet girl like this! She is such a sweetheart! Hannah will not be available for adoption until she gains some much needed weight. Once we get her back on track she will be ready for a new loving home! Please watch for updates on Hannah or email foster Mom for more details.
