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
 Belle was part of a large group of Shelties in need who came to MNSR. Her charm and exquisite beauty quickly landed her a wonderful forever home with a Sheltie-experienced family and Sheltie siblings. Belle's favorite things were her mom, walks, stuffed animals and being at the lake. She loved to kayak with mom, falling asleep from the slight rocking of the boat. Belle crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 20th, rejoining her Sheltie brother Tucker at the Rainbow Bridge. |
 Jack joined his forever family during his rehabilitation from knee surgery. Through walks and exercises, they helped him regain his strength, and he was soon joined by another active youngster named Zorro. They had great fun going for walks and playing with toys together, and doing tricks for Charlie Bears, the bedtime ritual. Jack was always ready to herd anything that went by his fence, and nothing went by unannounced. Jack gained his angel wings on September 18th, 2019 and is dearly missed by his loving family and his brother. |
 Pooh Bear came into rescue at 10 years of age with medical issues. He also came with the most soulful, innocent eyes, and his charming, friendly personality quickly won over his vacation foster family who welcomed him with open arms to join their family permanently. He was always willing to provide a dose of Pooh Bear therapy if someone was having a rough day. Snuggling with him and holding his paw worked magic. Pooh Bear crossed the rainbow bridge September 15th, 2019 at the age of 17 years and 7 months, surrounded by his loved ones, his teddy, and his blankie. We told him about all the love he had from everyone on social media and about all the pals he will get to meet on the other side. |
 Hunter was an escape artist in his previous home, and he was so grateful to find a forever home with people who were able to commit to keeping him safe, while still having wonderful adventures in life. Hunter loved rolling in the snow, and was very excited at the sight of his leash which meant a fun outing. He was a brave, determined, kind, and gentle soul. I thought of him as our little gentleman dog, always patient, gentle, and approachable with people of all ages, well behaved, and a good traveler. Older people and kids alike were attracted to his quiet and calm manner. Our granddaughter was a huge fan of Hunter, one of her first words, “uppie”, prompted by Hunter. We thank you so very much for your help in getting Hunter into our lives. We were very, very pleased to provide him with his forever home, even if forever only lasted just over 7 years, but a period of time that feels like we had a lifetime connection to him. |
