Sadly, Old Fella, the dog that moved many RVers to new levels of compassion, passed away on Saturday June 28, 2008 at 11:42 DST due to complications from bone cancer.
Many RVers came to know Old Fella from the RV.net forum, and will remember how this formerly skinny black stray, missing part of his back paw and most of his teeth, was rescued by Richard and Sue Daniels of Waynesboro, Georgia on September 5th, 2005.
Old Fella’s rescue story inspired animal lovers across the United States and even prompted Burke County’s first animal rescue organization. And many RV.net members joined in supporting the Daniels’ family as the unexpected vet bills began to mount.
Efforts are currently underway to erect a memorial on the grounds for the Old Fella Burke County Animal Shelter in Waynesboro, Georgia. According to Dan Branson, a friend of the Daniels family, Old Fella will be cremated and his remains buried at the base of the memorial.
A bank account has been set up for the Old Fella Memorial at the First National Bank of Waynesboro . If you would like to assist in supporting the cost of the memorial, donations in his name may be sent to:
