We have many good memories of the years we had with Jett. He was the most outgoing and friendly Sheltie who loved everyone he met, and tried to sneak extra petting whenever possible. He was a great little buddy to our child and best bud to our Boxer Tyson. We are so sad and we miss him but are glad he is free from any pain. 

We adopted Harley and his mate Mia from a very bad situation. Harley was in rough shape and had to have all his teeth pulled. In the process he developed a stricture. He required multiple balloon dilation procedures to open his esophagus. MNSR volunteers Kathy, Meaghan and others were instrumental in helping us get the care needed to save Harley’s life. Harley had to eat only puréed food but he had a good appetite. The last year and half, he started showing signs of dementia, blindness and occasionally had seizures. We made him as safe and comfortable as possible. We were so excited when he made it to the New Year! But on New Year’s Day he had a very bad seizure that he didn’t come out of. As much as we hated to have to make that decision to let him go, we knew it was for the best.

There’s a huge hole in our hearts. We lost our sweet senior Nedley on Friday, December 2, 2022. We are so grateful that we were able to cuddle and hold him as he crossed to a world with no more pain. Nedley came to us as a vacation sitter but never left. He was so sweet and gentle with the biggest eyes. He had a lot of arthritis and other medical issues that made walking more challenging, but it didn’t stop Nedley. Yes, he wasn’t able to go on walks or run but he made the best of it.
