Rainbow Bridge Memories

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

Jake came into rescue in 2014 at the age of 11 due to a change in his household, and we soon learned that he had some medical issues that would require long-term care. We were fortunate to find a very loving couple who doted on Jake and played his favorite games with him. We are grateful Jake was so loved with his forever foster family. Jake crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 28th, 2017. 

Riley came to MNSR as an active youngster in need of a home that could challenge his mind and body. He found a wonderful forever home with a couple who had a large fenced yard and several canine playmates for Riley. His dads worked from home, allowing for lots of love and attention for Riley. Riley crossed the Rainbow Bridge the week before Christmas, 2017. Riley was a great dog, and we will miss him. 

We will miss you (even your barking!) every day til we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. The best Sheltie boy one could hope for. From unclaimed stray in western MN to Minnesota Sheltie Rescue, then to MACH2, PACH2 and 2016 National Agility Championship Preferred 8" Finalist. Always happy, always loyal, just an awesome dog in every way. 

Zapper is now providing oversight from the Bridge to MNSR alum Stevee on how to do agility fast and in style, but perhaps without the barking! If Stevee starts barking on an agility course, we'll know that Zapper has fully taken over! April 2005 - December 17th, 2017. 

Lassie came into rescue with her best friend Laddie, and we were so happy for them when they found a forever home where they could stay together. They loved spending time with their family, going for walks and car rides. Visitor were also lavished with affection. The yard was well-guarded and passers-by were greeted with an enthusiasic round of barking. Adopting them was one of the best decisions we made. Lassie crossed the Rainbow Bridge in December 2017 and is now forever united with her best friend Laddie who preceded her there in June.
