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.
#421 Gabby
Gabby GSRNE #421 5/16/2007 - 2/10/2018 We're sorry to report that Gabby has crossed the Bridge. She stopped eating again a couple days ago so we took her to the vet, and she was bleeding internally again. The night before, Gabby was otherwise happy and had no trouble at all--she ate "a bunch" of meat, so she enjoyed her last night, thankfully. She was such a lovely and loving girl, and we are all are going to miss her terribly. We're just so grateful that she had loving humans to dote on...

Bladder cancer took this handsome boy….😢 He was one of Jim Miller’s foster dogs. "I have lived with you and loved you, and now you are gone. Gone where I cannot follow, until I have finished all of my days." ~Victoria Hanley It’s with great sadness that we announce that Tiger, GSRNE #419 has crossed the bridge.

#411 Cody
Cody GSRNE #411 2006? - 2/22/2015 Eleven days ago we happily announced that 'Cody' had been adopted. Today with great sadness we've been told he has CROSSED THE BRIDGE... Cody had recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma but was doing well. His Mom told us this morning that Cody had been panting heavily through the night, didn't want to eat yesterday morning and just lay down in the snow when she took him out to relieve himself. She brought him to the hospital and the doctor told her Cody was...
#409 Maggie and #410 Jolene
Maggie & Jolene GSRNE #409 & GSRNE #410 2003 - 9/2016 & 2007 - 11/13/2017 I had to say goodbye to Jolene today. Her hips were very bad and her mobility had been deteriorating. After a very bad weekend in which she struggled terribly, I knew I needed to let her go. Maggie was Jolene's mom, and both were senior dogs when they came to live with me in July 2014. They were both such sweethearts. I lost Maggie in September 2016 to a heart condition. Jolene was not herself after...

#397 Diamond
Diamond GSRNE #397 4/17/2004 - 10/13/2015 GSRNE is sad to announce that Diamond (#397) crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Diamond came into our rescue several years ago as a senior dog. Her owner died, and the owner's daughter was trying to find homes for his five dogs. The younger ones were chosen, the daughter kept one older dog who had cancer, and Diamond was still waiting as the date for the sale of the house arrived. She contacted GSRNE for help. Fortunately, we had a foster Mom, Sandy B.,...
#396 Angus
Angus GSRNE #396 ? - 8/6/2014 The GSRNE family is heartbroken that our wonderful gentle boy has left us. We always work hard to find the right match between our dogs and adoptive families. When Angus came to GSRNE in the fall of 2010, we soon found out that staying with his foster mom, Peggy, would be the best place for him to be. She certainly did everything for him as much that any one of us would have done for one of our own dogs nursing him through many eye and ear infections. She...
#394 Shadow
Shadow GSRNE #394 2008? - 12/2015 "I have lived with you and loved you, and now you are gone. Gone where I cannot follow, until I have finished all of my days." ~Victoria Hanley Shadow was a 7-year-old Sable female GSD who had a loving family, including children. When the family lost their home, they moved in with relatives who had no room for Shadow. A friend tried taking her, but the dog in that home resented her and made her life miserable; so the owner contacted GSRNE. We were...
