Sheffield

Sheffield was adopted from NTSRI by Helen Gustafson back in March, 1998, after she had lost her husband of fifty years. Sheffield and Helen soon became a regular sight at the Good Samaritan Nursing Center in McAllen, Texas, where they made weekly “therapy” visits to the residents. Helen and Sheffield became quite well known for their therapy work - even being featured in a newspaper story at one time!
After many happy years together, we received the very sad news that Sheffield’s health had been deteriorating, and Helen had to make the painful decision to let him go to the Rainbow Bridge. Our sincere sympathy goes to Helen. Thank you for giving Sheffield such a wonderful, loving home, and a life with purpose.
