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
 Bella was a shy girl when she came into rescue and she blossomed in her forever home. From a Sheltie who had to be coaxed out from under the couch, to one who delighted in visitors and being right in the middle of the action ON the couch! Bella had her self-appointed “jobs”, including accompanying mom in getting ready for the day. Dad would get herded out of the room during her Mommy & Me time. Bella's family had to tearfully say goodbye when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 22nd, 2019. She is missed so much! |
 Pal came to MNSR when his family was no longer able to care for him. Our friends at Top Dog Foundation had the perfect loving home for him with a couple who previously loved our Sebastian. This special couple only adopts senior dogs to give them the best golden years. Pal was just settling into a good routine with his loving family when he passed away unexpectedly on March 6th, 2019. Pal received so much love and the best of care in his short time with his forever family. We are so sad for him and for them that their time together was so brief. |
 Annie came into rescue with some special needs: she had a limp due to prior fractures that were left untreated, and being a double merle Sheltie, she was deaf and had some vision issues in dim lighting. But her forever family saw who she was, a sweet, loving Sheltie girl who had so much love to give and who was so deserving of receiving love. She loved playing with her human siblings and canine sister, and going for walks around the lakes. Annie crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February, 2019 and is very missed by her family. |
 We rescued Bear when he was 3 years old. He was the most beautiful sable Sheltie. So smart and sweet and brave and the best watchdog anyone could ever want. We told him we loved him so much and that it was such a lucky day for us when he could join our little family. He was a wonderful brother to our Sheltie Box who went to the bridge last March, and a wonderful teacher to our new puppy Fergus. He brought so much joy into our lives. I kissed his little head and and we stroked his beautiful soft coat as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 17th, 2019. Our hearts are broken and we will miss him so much. The love and happiness he gave us through his life is worth the sadness we must suffer now. It's always so hard to say goodbye. Our beautiful boy Bear. |
