Sasha Collins hasn't added a story.
In Honour Of Rod and His Love of Animals
Hi everyone. My name is Sasha Collins. My Father Rodney Groslin recently passed away from Myelodysplastic Syndrome ( for information, go to: https://www.cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-type/leukemia/leukemia/myelodysplastic-syndromes/?region=on ).
Rod was a kind man who absolutley loved animals! His "babies" were a pair of chihuahuas crosses (Nina and Joey pictured above) who never left his side for 12 years, even up to his last breath. During the last year of his life, when his energy and overall health were progressively declining, he would spend his days watching animals shows all day! He loved watching abandoned and abused animals get rescued and adopted to loving homes. He was always sharing the stories with his family. (One of his favorites was Pitbulls & Parolees!) Over his life time, Rod had many animals, even including an orphaned baby bear when he was young! Rod spent the last years of his life living on Vancouver Island, BC where he would often drive to Dallas Road to walk with his dogs and see all the other dogs playing! He absolutley loved to do this when he had enough energy.
Nina and Joey sadly now have to be adopted to a good home. One of the main dog rescue societies on the island is Raincoast Dog Rescue. They have been kind enough to assist Rods family with getting the dogs teeth fixed which Rod was not able to do sadly, and help with finding them a loving home. They have been so supportive to his family in this difficult time.
Please support this not for profit charity to continue the amazing work it does on the island!! You can go to their web site to read more or if you prefer to just use their website to donate directly thats great too!! If you could just put a memo of "In Rods Memory" that would be great. www.raincoastdogrescue.com
Thank you so much. This would make Rods heart happy, and will help RainCoast to continue the invaluable work they do. Every bit helps.
