Read Mars's Story (In Memoriam)
Mars was rescued from the animal shelter in his last hours before being put to sleep. He was at least eighteen years old, and because of that he was unsuccessful in finding a home.
At The Gentle Barn we believe every one has the right to live, even if they are old. So we took him in to live out the rest of his days with us.
Mars needed a special senior diet, nutritional supplements and vet care to keep him fit and healthy.
Mars left us at twenty five years old. He was not sick, it was just his time to leave his body and be an angel, an inspiration, and a friend to another who needs him. Mars taught us how to give unconditional love, through his ability to be friendly and kind with anyone. He was a gentleman, he was a sweetheart, and he was our cuddly old guy.
