“I started to get a lot of questions as to where she was because it’s very unlike me to just stop posting about a dog that I’ve had since she was 6 weeks old. The love of my life came into my life, Tom — who is also a mega dog lover — moved across the country with his beautiful German Shepherd, Blue, a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, Blue and Shirley started getting into some mega fights. Shirley was determined to kill him.”
She continued, “Shirley had gotten into other dog fights before and it really scared me. started to get really worried she would hurt other animals. I had to make a very, very difficult decision. She just could not live with us with how she was behaving.”
“It was an excruciating decision for me,” she added, putting Shirley in the care of pet handlers named Tony and Angie.
She continued, “This was for the safety of Shirley herself. I didn’t want her to end up in a home that didn’t understand her because she is so special and I’ve had her for so long. So, she’d been living the life out on the most beautiful farm with Tony and Angie for years, alongside other dogs that we rescued over the past few years.”
Shirley passed away at the age of 14 after suffering from bone cancer.
Kaley added, “What we had to do was the right thing to do for our family and really for Shirley. She had an amazing life with us and an amazing last for years with Tony and Angie. I am devastated that she has gone over the rainbow bridge.”
