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

Moby came to MNSR as a youngster who had already had several transitions in his young life. He found his happily ever after with a special family and a best buddy Sheltie named Kosmo. His favorite solitary pastime was sunning in the window or on the deck on a nice day, occasionally getting up to bark at a passing squirrel or chipmunk that dared to pass his yard. When little humans came along in the family, Moby loved to pounce on them with kisses, which resulted in a burst of giggles from the kids. He and Kosmo always checked on the kids in the mornings and at bedtime. We said goodbye to our beloved Moby on May 3rd, 2019. We miss him so much, but we’re relieved that he isn’t suffering. We are smiling through the tears, remembering the goofy scrappy guy that he was and all the laughter he brought us. Now he is at the rainbow bridge with our other Sheltie boy, Kosmo, running and playing like they always used to.

Cody joined an active family and loved playing with his feline friends and his buddy, Rex, a young Pomeranian.  Cody played referee between Rex and the cats, making sure he wasn't too rowdy with them. Cody crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May, 2019 at the age of 15.

Maki was one of the early Shelties in our program, joining an experienced Sheltie home who could help her learn to trust and feel safe as a youngster. She was such a great little Sheltie that she became a permanent member of the family, mentoring many foster Shelties along the way. She loved running and barking in the large fenced yard with them. One special Sheltie, Darby, became her best friend and he also stayed permanently. Maki crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 27th, 2019, forever reunited with her best friend Darby.

Tasha's forever family committed to helping her through her fears and insecurities through ongoing training, and developed a very close bond with her during their journey together. Tasha grew to love snuggles, enjoyed keeping the squirrels on their toes, and thrived when she could learn new tricks and games, making this part of her daily morning routine. She even learned to come running when her mom would whistle the theme song from "Lassie"! Tasha crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 26th, 2019, dearly missed by her loving family.
