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

Beautiful Molly was diagnosed with a congenital heart abnormality called PDA, Molly was in need of life-saving cardiac surgery, and her guardian angels came along while she was still in foster care. Once she recovered, her guardian angels came to meet her and, when she sat on dad's lap and gave him a Sheltie kiss, we knew they were meant to be a family. Molly joined 2 rescue Sheltie sisters in her home, and later became a wonderful big sister and role model herself to 3 rescue Sheltie girls. Molly’s favorite activities were daily walks, protecting the family from airplanes overhead, and making friends with everyone she met. Sweet Molly crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 4th, 2019. We are forever grateful to MNSR who allowed us to adopt this beautiful, personality-packed little girl. She was the sweetest, most loving Sheltie we've ever had, always close to her mom & dad. She brought us so much joy, and her benevolent alpha dog personality was perfect for our home.

Cappy came to us as a breeder release. His teeth were in terrible shape, and after a much needed dental while in foster care, his health greatly improved, and he joined a forever family who wanted to share their love with an older little boy in need. Though he had some of the quirks that come with limited life experiences living in a commercial kennel, Cappy was a sweet little fellow who liked to be held. He got along wonderfully with other dogs, and always received compliments on walks with his mom. Cappy sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 2nd, 2019 and is fondly remembered for his smile and sweet personality.

Sophie found a very loving forever home with a couple who welcomed her as an important part of their family. She was always included in their travels across the United States, and she seemed to enjoy the traveling. The grandchildren loved Sophie, and she was very gentle with them. Sophie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 28th, 2019. She was a big part of our family. We will miss her.

When his forever family came to meet a couple of Shelties for adoption, Wally knew they were meant for him and he made sure he would be the chosen one by crawling into mom’s lap. His favorite activities included cuddling for hours, giving kisses, rolling in the snow, and he really excelled at sleeping. Each night he slept with “Stuffie”, his stuffed Sheltie toy, using Stuffie as a pillow and holding him in his paws. He was such a sweet, endearing and cute boy that strangers actually wanted to buy him a toy! Mr. Wally crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 22nd, 2019, just two weeks short of his 15th birthday, reuniting with his beloved sister Suzy at the Bridge. The sweetest little man Sheltie in the universe.
