Rainbow Bridge Stories
   |
     We fostered Sapphire as a puppy in 2008. We soon realized we were going to join a group of people called ‘foster failures’. We just couldn’t part with her and we will be forever grateful that MN Sheltie Rescue let her join our family. Sapphire was a double merle sheltie. She was born deaf, however she didn’t know it. She was so intuitive that at times we would test to see if she really was deaf. I always felt she could hear with her heart. |
     Mr. Marley Man had a peaceful transition with the help of MN Pets after a brief battle with TCC (transitional cell carcinoma). He was a fighter and enjoyed all the extra love we gave him these last months. We are so very grateful that we were chosen to be his forever family by Karen/Minnesota Sheltie Rescue in 2011. He was just what we needed to heal our hearts after the loss of our Guinness earlier that year. Marley was my first rescue, my first new not-a-puppy, and my introduction to herding breeds. |
           We will always remember when we met Bella at Jeanne’s house, we loved her from that first moment. Bella let us hold her, hug her, and kiss her…our sweet beautiful princess. We are always going to be very grateful for her letting us be her parents; she changed our lives… she brought so much love and happiness to our family. |
