Rainbow Bridge Stories
 Roxie came to MNSR after having experienced some traumas in her life. She was understandably very particular about choosing her forever family, and she gave her paw of approval to the 3rd family she met. Roxie was one of the senior Shelties that have graced our house, and the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. When it became too difficult for her to continue to walk on 3 legs at age 16, she got a doggie stroller of her own, and became quite the hit around our senior place as "the pretty little Lassie with her own wheels." Our little three-legged wonder Sheltie, Roxie was called to the Rainbow Bridge on May 17th, 2019. I’m convinced she’s romping around with all legs restored, waiting impatiently for her Daddy to appear! |
 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. |
