Rainbow Bridge Stories
 Sweetpea walked into my life May 15th, 2017. My first foster. We had Shelties for years, but we were retiring and were not up to a puppy or a forever dog. MN Sheltie Rescue was a perfect answer. We were clear we only wanted to foster, but Karen has this special way, ‘If you were to adopt, what would you be looking for?’ We said a small, sweet sable. But we weren’t ‘looking’. ‘Foster’ Sweetpea arrived one month later. |
 The happiest girl in the world gained her angel wings on December 20th, 2021. I will miss your happy barks, smiling eyes and glamour girl poses, Tiffany La Rue. You were the very best friend a girl could ever have. |
 Ellie was released from a breeder and found a wonderful family who helped her to feel safe and to learn about the world, with the help of their other dogs. As she grew in confidence, Ellie helped her new MNSR sister Molly to feel safe, and alerted her mom to anything happening in the neighborhood. She is very missed by her family. |
 7 years ago I became a foster mom to an 8 year old little Sheltie in need. The plan was to nurse him back to health so he could be placed in a loving home. As Spencer settled in with us and his health improved, I was too attached to let him go. Then he found his voice, and WOW what a voice it was. He barked like a seal! How that much volume could come out of that little guy didn’t make sense at all. That was how he barked from then on, and mostly he just barked for me when I’d come home (or if the other dogs were barking… ) He loved to be outside in any kind of weather. He would roll around in the snow with gusto. He could be such a little goofball. Spencer was a momma boy. People always thought he was a puppy because of his size. I am so thankful for all the years that he was mine. |
