A happy white dog with tan ears sits on a wooden deck in the foreground, with a pond and grassy area in the background.

It has been a heavy week at VRC. Today, August 26th Newt crossed the Rainbow Bridge after a brief battle of health struggles, with her favorite human Jenny by her side.&nbsp; From her caregiver Jenny:&nbsp;The world has lost so much in just 2 days, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and my beloved Newt. I know my dog does not compare to two of the world&#39;s biggest influences, but she did influence many lives at Villalobos. From her pointy ears to her attitude, she always had something to say and chose when to listen.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1787794605/wysiwyg/rq56jmurs1g21huiqicl.jpg" style="width: 268px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; -webkit-user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-background-clip: padding-box; background-clip: padding-box; border-radius: 10px;" fr-original-style="width: 268px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable fr-rounded"> Newt came into my life 14yrs ago, when I volunteered for the 2nd time at VRC. I stayed for a month and this dog, idk what it was about her, but I liked her. When I moved to New Orleans, she was still in the loft, and one of the dogs I cared for daily. I started thinking of things I could do with her, like maybe search and rescue, she would climb and walk on anything I asked her to, she was fearless. When we got a property with a barn, Tia needed someone to clean it. I was that person. I would bring Newt with me cuz that barn was empty, the apartment above it was empty except for a bed, and the walls made noises. Newt was my protector!! &nbsp;Eventually, plans changed, and Newt stayed in the country with another employee, Melissa.&nbsp; In 2022, Melissa got sick, passed away and her son, who was taking care of the dogs, moved across country, so dogs got moved around. Of course, first thing I told M2 was that I&#39;m taking Newt to which she told me, duh, she&#39;s your dog!! Newt&#39;s favorite pass time was yelling as me or chasing anything that moved, especially the little lizards that are everywhere. If she was a human, she would be that old lady that sits on her porch and yells at the kids for thinking about touching her grass. She looked mean, she had a mean bark, would even sound like she was growling, but she was so sweet!!&nbsp; There will never be another Newt in this world. And it gives me peace knowing that not only did she have Dolly and Tim Curry close by, but she had Carol, Colin, Mutt, Freddy, and Melissa all there to greet her and give her all the treats!! Remember To Paws is accepting donations in Newt&rsquo;s honor to help VRC cover end-of-life costs, and her memorial keepsakes so the people who loved her can focus on love, not bills.
