Rainbow Bridge Stories
 Maggie came into rescue at the age of 12 when her people had to move to assisted living. She joined our permanent foster program, where she was cherished by her foster family for 3 wonderful years. Maggie crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 15 1/2 on February 1st, 2021 and is very missed by her foster family for whom she was their constant companion. |
 Eight years ago, I asked MNSR if we could foster the next Sheltie/Pom. The very next week, we met with Peanut’s owner and learned that he was 7 years old, not house broke, and strong willed. The owner had contacted other rescues but they couldn’t take him. We were his last hope before going to an overcrowded shelter. We loaded him in the car inside his crate. He got out & climbed in my lap. We realized he had picked us & he was home. |
 Bandit’s humans knew instantly that he was the dog for them and he stole their hearts. He had a lifelong friend in his canine sister Willow, and when a little human came along in the family, Bandit was happy to have a buddy to cuddle with at night. Bandit crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 12th, 2021 and is very much missed by his loving family. |
 My Little Coni, my precious shetland sheepdog, who had such joyful energy and zest for life, especially playing ball and being with others, has passed on to heaven. I am so grateful for the time I had with him and for Linda & Ken to introduce me to him through Minnesota sheltie rescue. He brought such joy to everyone he met and loved to be with others. I so enjoyed traveling with him to Wisconsin and throughout Minnesota to see friends and family, he was the best traveling partner I could ever have. He will always leave a very special pawprint and place in my heart. |
