Rainbow Bridge Stories
 My Little Coni, my precious shetland sheepdog, who had such joyful energy and zest for life, especially playing ball and being with others, has passed on to heaven. I am so grateful for the time I had with him and for Linda & Ken to introduce me to him through Minnesota sheltie rescue. He brought such joy to everyone he met and loved to be with others. I so enjoyed traveling with him to Wisconsin and throughout Minnesota to see friends and family, he was the best traveling partner I could ever have. He will always leave a very special pawprint and place in my heart. |
 Jimmy and Ollie, two very bonded brothers, were able to stay together after coming into rescue. They loved going for walks with their family, hanging out in their beautiful Colorado backyard, taking naps together, and were never apart from each other. Jimmy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 7th, 2020, and his beloved best friend and brother followed him on December 28th, 2020. |
 While we don’t know much about Gibby’s history, we do know that his sweet personality and easygoing nature made the decision to add him to our family very easy. Gibby was happiest when he was near one of his people. He would lay outside the bathroom door or find someone to just lay near and sleep. He loved his dog beds, beds of all sizes and shapes. Sometimes he laid in the beds and sometimes just laid partially in the bed, it didn’t matter to him as long as there was a bed, he was happy. |
 Our hearts broke as we lost our sweet Oreo on December 16, 2020 when he crossed to the Rainbow Bridge. Oreo was the best little guy. After losing our first MNSR Lizzie, we saw the write up for Oreo. We met him and took him for a walk; his little prance was a delight and he kept checking with us to see if he was doing OK. We adopted him in May of 2018. We knew we may have a shortened time with a senior dog but wanted to take that on because senior dogs can be hard to adopt. He fit us and our situation perfectly. He loved his treats and in his own way worked to make sure he maximized the number of treats he received. We are so thankful to have his company for this terrible year. We gave him a good home and he gave us so much in return. He stole the heart of everyone he met. We will miss him greatly. |
