Team Tanzie, our hearts are heavy as we share some incredibly sad news. On April 24, we said a final goodbye to a very special soul. Blue passed away after an extremely short and unexpected battle with an aggressive form of cancer. This loss hits us very hard…sweet "Blueberry" wasn’t just a rescue; he was a cornerstone of our story.

And, not only are they originally from Mostar just like their fur-babies, they are bot
