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
 Lily was so fortunate to have a loving, patient and gentle forever family who helped her to blossom. Lily was frightened of many things initially, and with understanding and the great game of Nosework, she came out of her shell. She earned several titles in Nosework. We had not intended on doing it, but Lily told us she loved it. Even when we were done competing, she still liked to play! She grew into the confident, outgoing dog she was meant to be. She always kept her GSD sisters in line and let them know when they were having too much fun. When it became harder for Lily to keep up with her sisters, we bought her a stroller. She LOVED her stroller from day one. She would walk a little and then get in the stroller and be a princess. Lily crossed the Rainbow Bridge in January 2020. She was incredibly loved and is missed so much. We will always be grateful to the rescue for matching us with such a great little girl. |
 Luna came into rescue at 10 years of age with untreated heartworm disease. This left her immune-compromised. A wonderful couple who had previously adopted from MNSR saw a beautiful Sheltie girl who needed a loving family, and took her in to give her her best life. Luna enjoyed overseeing her large property from her condo balcony, telling the squirrels what was what, socializing with the human neighbors, and being treated like a queen by her mom and dad. Luna crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 24th, 2020 and is very missed. |
 Rose found her best forever home at the age of 13 with a loving, compassionate couple who adopt senior Shelties who most need them. With her new Sheltie friend Tukker, also adopted as a senior, Rose got to experience running at a fenced dog park for the first time, tasted wild raspberries, and celebrated her 14th birthday with a new dog bed just for her. She was so happy with her forever family, as she experienced a lifetime of love and joy with them. Rose joined their previous Shelties at the Rainbow Bridge on January 20th, 2020. We are grateful Rose was chosen by these special people and that she chose them as her family. |
 Merit came into rescue from a puppy mill where she spent the first 2 1/2 years in a confined area. Her foster mom helped her to learn how to live in a home and what it meant to be part of a loving family. Soon, it was clear that Merit's foster mom could not part with her and they became a forever family. Merit helped many new foster Shelties over the years. They gravitated towards her due to her easygoing personality. After a very loving life with her forever mom, Merit gained her angel wings on January 9th, 2020, reuniting at the Rainbow Bridge with her siblings Shep, Fletcher, Alex and Kayce. |
