It was a gorgeous Baltimore day with bright blue sunny skys and a perfect day for the Maryland SPCA to show off the new gazebo center dedicated to John Colvin.
The staff at the SPCA, friends and family joined in for the presentation and the bronze plaque will read:
In Loving Memory of John Colvin Animal Lover and Lifesaver.
So proud of our Maryland SPCA.

Franki gave and was given another 3 months after that visit. We weren't even sure she would make it through that night. Franki helped transition her owner with the move to the new home. But Franki was tired and it was now time to say good bye. Rest in peace sweet Franki. You were loved by KC and you shared your love with all of us. Licks and kisses to Johnnie. Maggie May loves you!
