Rainbow Bridge Memories
This page is dedicated in loving memory to the MNSR foster and adopted Shelties who are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge Stories
When we first met Tessa at her foster parents she hid behind a recliner and would peek around at us. We had the impression she was very shy and it would take time for her to bond to us. Her foster parents had never heard her bark either. We were in for a surprise. When we brought her home she immediately jumped up on the couch and cuddled up to my wife. She took over the house as if it was hers and she guarded it, and us, with her life. Tessa’s adoption turned out to be a perfect match. After adopting seven Shelties over 40 years, she was the most outgoing, feisty, and spunky Sheltie of all.

 Beautiful Georgie gained her angel wings at age 16. She won her family’s heart in 2008 with her adorable freckles, her joyful and friendly personality, and her happy smile. Georgie loved long naps, walks, eating treats and snow, boating, and most of all, being close to her family. She was cherished by her mom, dad and human sisters. Her Sheltie brother Chico was waiting to hold her paw accross the Rainbow Bridge. |
 After an early life of neglect, Travis was surrendered to MNSR with a large group of Shelties. His foster family nursed him through many health issues, including surgery for hip dysplasia, and helped Travis to gain confidence and to learn to trust people. His canine siblings taught him the joys of play, and now pain-free, Travis was able to enjoy walks and running with his pals. His spirit blossomed and he enjoy a full live as a loved family member. Travis crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 31st, 2021. We are sad to have had to say goodbye. He was a great boy. |
 After dealing with many health issues and surgery when she came to MNSR, Murphy was ready to begin the best part of her life with her new family. She loved visiting grandma and grandpa, herding her feline siblings, and walking alongside the stroller on family walks to greet the neighbors on her social rounds. Everyone adored Murphy and she seemed to sense when someone needed extra comfort. Murphy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 18th, 2021. I know she had so many happy years here with us. It’s so hard to say goodbye. |
