Founders
and Board Members of Sammie's Friends

Cheryl Wicks and Curt Romander
Cheryl and Curt loved their Sammie for many years.
They wanted to honor him with his own corporation dedicated to
caring for less fortunate animals. After all, he had
welcomed Destiny, Mon-Mon, Teddy, Wilma, Billy, and Plum, as
well as countless foster animals into
the family. It was only natural that he help many of his
other "friends" to have better lives. Though
Sammie has passed over the Rainbow Bridge, he still
"communicates" his support on a daily basis. |

Sammie Shar-pei
came to live with Cheryl as a 7-week-old puppy in 1991, and has
become the inspiration for all of the work that Cheryl and Curt do to
help animals. Sammie
passed away in February, 2007 at the ripe old age of 15 years, 11
months, but his dream keeps right on going. Our dream is that
every animal would have as much love and care as Sammie had, and that
every family receives as much love and inspiration from their pets as
we do. Since those early puppy days in 1991, Curt and Destiny
and Monnie and Teddy and Wilma and Billy have joined us. |

| We also have foster animals from time to time,
like our precious little Plum. Plum lived with us for
over a year as we cared for her medical condition. She
passed over the Rainbow Bridge in May 2006. |
