RAINBOW BRIDGE
With sad hearts and fond memories of our beloved pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge…
When one of our beloved pets pass away, that pet goes to a place called Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
ALL the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
YOU have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. Happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then together you and your special pet(s) cross the Rainbow Bridge.
#008 Saber
Saber GSRNE #008 1992? - 02/27/2003 Saber was my very special boy- I loved him from the moment I first saw him in the window of his GSRNE foster home. We had a wonderful, too short, six years together; he was about six when he came to live with us. We could have called him Velcro, had we been naming him ourselves. When he first was adopted by us, he wouldn't leave my side, even when I was in the bathtub! He was FAT when we first got him (maybe thirty-five pounds over normal...
#001 Becky
Becky GSRNE #001 ? - ? We adopted Becky almost seven years ago (8/4/96). I've enclosed a photo taken this past winter while we were enjoying the snow. I cross country skied and Becky romped in the snow. I want to say thank you for letting us adopt Becky. She is truly the best German Shepherd we've ever had, and the first rescue dog we've had. Becky has such personality. She is very vocal, excitable and truly enjoys life. She plays catch and swims with Bryan our son, now 18. She hikes...
#000 Wayde
Although all the dogs are loved who come into our rescue, Wayde is special in all that he has endured in the time he has been with us. Wayde needs a buddy and after reading this story, perhaps you will want it to be you. Months ago, GSRNE was called about a dog being held at a vet's office. This boy had been there for some time, and he had no chance of being adopted out from there as they are a holding facility and not a shelter. The white Shepherd, who was known as Stray 06-22 had been...
#000 Trixie
Trixie Foster #F-39 1997? - 1/16/2006 We all learned so much from getting to know Trixie; the way she gradually came out of her depression (from living alone in her former owner's house for months after he died); the way she allowed herself to trust and love her foster Mom after months of patient and gentle care; her dignity and poise in dealing with her health issues, pain, and loss of mobility. We were privileged to have the time that we had with her. Karen McCall, GSRNE Board The...
#000 Orik
Orik Anglo-Saxon word for Ancient Oak Tree chosen for his strength of character & for showing us the strength of a dog's love. 1998-99? - 04/17/2002 History: Orik was abandoned on a country road by his previous owner. Finding himself lost and confused, Orik wandered until he found a familiar sight, a truck. The truck belonged to a man who was out fishing. He was very surprised when he returned to find a German Shepherd happily sitting in the back! The man spent days searching for...
#000 Lacy
Lacy One of GSRNE's wonderful foster dogs died of bloat before adoption 1996? - 9/21/2004 I have some very sad news about our Lacy. We lost her to bloat this week. Lacy's Foster Mom came home from work only to find that Lacy had died during the day. Bloat strikes quickly and mercilessly. There is no chance of saving the dog unless you are right there when the symptoms appear. Without immediate intervention and surgery, bloated dogs just don't make it. Often times, the dogs are gone...
