Carla Waller believes in promises. She was married for 37 years, held one job for 35 and never adopted a pet she didn’t keep for life. Until now.
Mrs. Waller and her husband, Dennis, moved to Las Vegas in 2006 and put $100,000 down on a $330,000 home. They adopted Jake, a 3-year-old, lean, shy cocker spaniel. They both sold furniture on commission and thought they were set for retirement and beyond.
Mr. Waller received a diagnosis of terminal cancer in 2008 and died in 2009. Mrs. Waller stayed home to care for him, but returned to work to make ends meet. She adopted Marilyn Monroe, a schnauzer-collie, to keep Jake company. A friend added Jewels the cat to the mix

These people are doing a wonderful service. It has to be bad enough to lose your home without the worry of where your 4 legged family members are going to go. There are so many unwanted animals and shelters are so over crowded so many that are turned in by their owners are never even given a chance but are automatically killed. It's a shame there is not an organization such as these everywhere.
