This page is dedicated in loving memory to the MNSR alumni who found their forever families and are now waiting for us at the Bridge.
Rainbow Bridge Stories
      My dear Chance crossed the rainbow bridge on Sept. 20, 2022 at the wonderful age of 15 years. I think Chance really adopted me rather than the other way around. The very first day I brought him home he jumped up on the couch and sat up like a gopher in the crook of my arm. I knew right then that I was keeping him. Chance loved life. He faced every obstacle as if it was no big deal. He experienced a front leg amputation, heart murmur, Lyme disease, chest puncture from a dog attack, and towards the end, arthritis, hearing and sight loss. Yet nothing stopped him from enjoying life to the fullest. He taught me so much about friendship, loyalty, being strong, loving, happy-go-lucky and most of all humility. |
   Winston came into rescue very deserving of a loving family, and he got just that with a wonderful couple who have loved many MNSR Shelties over the years. Sweet Winston is no longer with us and is now at peace. He was a good boy with a sweet and gentle spirit. He went to sleep in a gazebo, surrounded by nature and our love. Thank you Minnesota Sheltie Rescue for bringing him into our lives, and always being there for us. |
    Our hearts are completely broken by the loss of our sweet girl. KC kept me company in the home office every day and was diligent about watching out the window for us whenever we left the house. She loved rolling around in the snow, playing with her treat ball, and wrestling with her sheltie brother, Zorro, who passed two years ago. We are so grateful for every day that we had with her and will take comfort in knowing that she has been reunited with her brother. Many thanks to MN Sheltie Rescue for matching us with such a wonderful, loving girl. |
 Morgan was so happy to find a special connection with his dad. They enjoyed taking 5 mile walks together, and Morgan was a favorite in the neighborhood where everyone thought he was beautiful. Morgan crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 1st, 2022. |
