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

Abbey came to our family 11/5/2011. She was a sweetheart from the day I met her. She was always the first in line for treats or belly rubs, loved being outside, enjoyed agility, and followed me from room to room. She had a strong will, was very loving and enjoyed life. She had been ill for several weeks before crossing the rainbow bridge. She was 12. She is deeply missed by me, her sheltie sister Annie and sheltie brother Beau.

Bandit and his mom enjoyed their walks together, both a short walk and a longer walk every day. Sometimes they were joined by a canine pal, because everyone loved Bandit - humans and other dogs. Bandit gained his angel wings on June 22nd, 2020 with his loving mom by his side as always. Thank you to the Rescue for a great a friend you found for me. He was a blessing.

When Mickey D joined his forever family, he found a Sheltie best friend in Sparky, also adopted from Minnesota Sheltie Rescue. They loved to wrestle or to run together in their fenced yard. Mickey D, also affectionately called Lickey Mickey due to his kissy nature, enjoyed observing his surroundings and feeling the summer breeze from the grassless cavern he created in the yard. On June 19th, 2020, not long after his best pal crossed the Rainbow Bridge, Mickey D also earned his angel wings to reunite with his brother Sparky.

Schumi and his dad were the best of friends for the 9 years they shared together, and grew to be in tune with what the other was thinking. At family gatherings, Schumi was the best behaved, and, of course, the cutest. Dad and Schumi enjoyed their long walks together to stay in shape. Schumi went to heaven on Thursday, June 11th. He had been struggling with Cushing’s disease and arthritis in his rear legs. On Thanksgiving 2019 he nearly died from kidney failure due to the medication. Dad wasn’t ready to say goodbye to him, and asked for more time. Schumi seemed to turn the corner, giving dad several more months to love and spoil him.
