Denise has been the heart and soul of the NorCal Cavalier group for over 17 years. She’s spent countless hours organizing major events, supporting families, and opening her home to care for many cavaliers when their families needed help. Her kindness and dedication have touched so many people and their beloved dogs.

Recently, Denise experienced the heartbreaking loss of her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Maddie. Her cat Ramona, who never left Maddie’s side during her illness, is also feeling the loss deeply. Denise’s home and the group gatherings just aren’t the same without Maddie’s joyful presence.

We want to honor everything Denise has done for our community by helping her welcome a new puppy into her life. A new companion would bring comfort, love, and joy to both Denise and Ramona, and help make future get-togethers special again. If you’re able to contribute, your support would mean the world to Denise and all of us who have benefited from her generosity.
