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
 Our volunteers saw in Kody how special he was, and we were overjoyed when his forever family knew it, too. Such a content and clever boy, he seemed to know exactly what his family was saying when they talked to him. Kody enjoyed barking at the wildlife outside at his home, making snow angels, and going for walks alongside his MNSR sister, Harper. Kody loved playing ball, placing it at mom or dad's feet or pushing it up on the edge of the chair as a not-so-subtle hint that the ball needed to be thrown. And he faithfully brought it back to repeat the adventure a zillion times. Very sadly, Kody crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 31st, 2019, cradled in the arms of the people who loved him the most. “Always remember that the things around you are never as important as whose arms are around you.” - From the book Wise Dogs. We thank God for Kody, and the time that we belonged to him. Kody loved us well, and we tried to do the same for him. |
 Lacey was a very happy girl when she joined a family of dog lovers! Her family said she was the most gentle, loving Sheltie they had ever had. Lacey's best friend was Tigger, her Bichon/Shih Tzu brother. They loved to play chase games in the yard, and if one went outside before the other, they would wait for each other. Lacey loved kids of any age, and would sit patiently in front of them waiting for them to pet her. Sweet Lacey crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 27th, 2019 and is dearly missed by her family. |
 Bella was a shy girl when she came into rescue and she blossomed in her forever home. From a Sheltie who had to be coaxed out from under the couch, to one who delighted in visitors and being right in the middle of the action ON the couch! Bella had her self-appointed “jobs”, including accompanying mom in getting ready for the day. Dad would get herded out of the room during her Mommy & Me time. Bella's family had to tearfully say goodbye when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 22nd, 2019. She is missed so much! |
 Pal came to MNSR when his family was no longer able to care for him. Our friends at Top Dog Foundation had the perfect loving home for him with a couple who previously loved our Sebastian. This special couple only adopts senior dogs to give them the best golden years. Pal was just settling into a good routine with his loving family when he passed away unexpectedly on March 6th, 2019. Pal received so much love and the best of care in his short time with his forever family. We are so sad for him and for them that their time together was so brief. |
