Elf was a Toy Fox Terrier who ran my life for nearly 18 years.  She is, of course, a part of the logo.  She went everywhere with me, she was my co-pilot, my confidante, the shoulder I could cry on.  Elfie was a rottweiler in a six pound package.  Though she's been gone for nearly eight years now, her spirit is still beside me, and it is in her honor that this refuge was born.  I knew she was getting old, I knew someday I'd be without her, I just didn't know it would be this hard.
 
To my Elf with love
