Rainbow Bridge

Established 1997

Our dogs love lying on their Kuranda beds. They keep them off of cold drafty floors during the winter and provides excellent ventilation in the hot summer months.

Though they benefit greatly from Kuranda beds, we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price so another rescue dog can sleep in comfort, you can do so directly from the Kuranda web site.

Just this side of Heaven is a place called RainbowBridge

When an animal dies - one that has been especially close to someone here - that pet goes to RainbowBridge. There are meadows and hills for our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water, sunshine and cozy beds, 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, someone 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 breaks 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. The happy kisses rain on your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet - so long gone but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the RainbowBridge together.

Belle
My girl Belle was pulled from the game on July 29, 2009. In keeping with her personality she was defiant till the end, never accepting the bone cancer as being anything more than an annoyance. Coming to BSRR as a rescue after her owner was killed in a car wreck I was blessed to know her for over four years. Being Schutzhund trained she was dominant and aggressive yet lived to work and challenge all who handled her. Still it was this defiant personality that everyone loved and admired. She was my demo dog at several training seminars along with being my protector and friend. We miss you Belle and hope to see you again soon.

Bree
Bree was adopted from a shelter, and 4 years later, her owners dropped her off at that shelter to be euthanized. They told shelter staff that "she is getting slow and needs to be put down." BSRR was contacted by the shelter staff and asked to help. Bree was brought into BSRR and spent some happy time with 2 of our fosters, getting much love and losing excess weight. When she came to me, she was a much thinner girl with a bounce in her step. She enjoyed stealing her brother Rottie's toys and taking them into the crate to lay on. She was our "hoppy" girl - she hopped up the steps, and when she was in a happy mood, she was "hoppy". She loved to lie on her back and get belly rubs and play patty cake! She taught us all that age is just a number and even though she was almost 12 years old, she was a young at heart girl. We know that Bree will be stealing toys from all the other dogs at the bridge. We will all miss you "Hoppy Girl" - God speed Bree, until we meet again.
