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
 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. |
 Enchanted Lilly Rose was my first foster but not for long. I adopted her in February of 2009 and she was a little ‘devil’ dog! Mark would say those are horns coming out of her head not ears. She was loved dearly despite her little antics. Lilly was independent, not a snuggler or kisser. She loved to lay out in the yard and watch the world go by. She quickly became the boss of the house by letting us know what time it was all the time. Time to get up, time to eat, time to potty and time for treats. She did not like going for walks due to her gimpy leg so her backyard was her play area. She developed arthritis in that leg a couple years ago, and despite having part of her jaw removed from a tumor, she was a little trooper. She will be dearly missed by us. |
 Bandit joined his forever family in 2014 and found a best friend in his sister Portia, who was an Eskie mix like him. They loved to bark at the mail carrier and to chase the squirrels in the yard. Harley the cat decided Bandit was also his best friend and followed him everywhere. Bandit loved the cold and would dive face first into the snow. His mom would run a fan for him even in winter because he loved that. Bandit crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 25th, 2020 and is very missed. |
