Love That Lasts: The Story of a Man and His Little Dog:

About a year ago, our hospice team had the privilege of caring for a gentleman whose heart was as big as his love for a tiny Chihuahua named Bebe. The two had been inseparable for many years—wherever he went, that little dog was by his side, a constant companion through good days and hard ones alike.
As his illness progressed, he could no longer care for his beloved pet, and it weighed heavily on him. Our hospice team, along with kind volunteers and community members, stepped in to help. Together, we found new homes for twelve dogs who had been part of his care and life. Each one found a new family, a new beginning, and a new lap to love.
But one small soul—the tiniest and oldest of them all—remained. This sweet Chihuahua, full of gentle affection and quiet devotion, has continued to be loved and cared for by members of our team and generous volunteers. Though she never found a permanent home, she has never been without love.
Her story reminds us that love doesn’t end when a life does—it lingers, soft and steady, in the lives and hearts that were touched along the way. Every wag of her tail is a reminder of a man who loved deeply, and of a community that came together to make sure that love carried on.

Gentiva Hospice of Kinston was grateful to attend and participate with G.I Joe's in honoring Women Veterans on June 12th. Women's Veterans Day is a time to recognize, listen, and support this special group that has given so much of themselves to our country and our community. We were so awed by their presence. They have given so much to so many, yet here they stand, asking to serve, asking to help, asking how to volunteer more. This was such a time for reflection for our Kinston Team. We ask ourselves, how can we help our community more? How could we reach more of those in need? We will always be an agency that looks to give back and serve our community.
