Rainbow Bridge
Vashti
Vashti was the princess of the house. She reigned over the two boys and was adored by all her humans. From the way she crossed her paws when she lay down, to the way she would prance around and then bow when greeting, to her love of fashion scarves, baths and singing, her royal attitude was always sweet and gentle. She will be remembered, missed and loved, always.
Miracle
Hi everybody, Hi Mom, Hi Dad
Please stop being so sad
I know I’m your boy and I always will be
I wanted to let you know I’m ok
And to tell you what I see.
As soon as I walked over the bridge
And passed through the gate
I didn’t hurt anymore, and my legs
Were strong and straight.
Everyday here it rains treats from the sky
And the streams are always cold that flow by.
I can choose where ever I want to go
There are green grassy
fields or mountains of snow.
My silver collar is shiny and bright
It lights the way for me to run and play
All through the night.
And if I were there, I’d lick the tears from your face
So I had to let you know all about this wonderful place.
So think about me with lots of smiles and joy
And know that I know you loved me
Your Miracle boy.

You may remember Miracle's story -- shot in the head & left to bleed to death in the woods . . . found by a hiker and brought into rescue . . . the bullet stayed lodged in Miracle's jaw but he recovered fully and had the most adoring, loving owners any dog could have. He battled arthritis and ligament tears but as you can see never let anything get him down. He loved everyone he ever met and was universally adored. The first time I met him, it was clear he was special. Miracle is my hero and the reason Mal rescue exists. Wear your silver harness with pride, Miracle! I hope to meet you again some day.

Nakita
You came into our lives for only a single week, in order to recuperate after a surgery and to continue your battle with cancer. And even though you weren't feeling your best, your gentle & loving spirit touched everyone who met you. You were such a sweet little girl, that it was impossible not to fall in love with you overnight. May you forever frolic in the snow-covered part of heaven with our other little girl malamute, Tegan, and all of the other CHAAMP malamutes who have gone on before you. Be at peace, little one, and know that you were loved and are greatly missed.

Kita came into rescue when her owner was deployed to Iraq. She had lived with a female teacup chihuahua and a gerbil was her best friend. She nurtured kittens and let the family's parakeet ride on her back. We were devastated to learn she had cancer -- such a beautiful girl with so much love to give! In the few days after her diagnosis, as we were trying to find money to treat her and researching which treatment to try, she suddenly became much worse and was in great pain. The decision then became very easy. We let her go with great love and sorrow.
Little Kita, you will always be missed and loved. Lezlie Crosswhite
Phelan
Sometimes a second chance at living is all we want - a chance to shine to show everyone just how much we have to give. To prove to others just how special we are.
Phelan, you did just that. From the day you entered our home, you were family. We gave you love. You gave back more. We can only hope we were able to make the 2nd half of your life special. You were a bright light in our lives. We will always miss you.
Tanner
Little goofball boy, always enthusiastic and affectionate. We miss you and think of you with love.
Snowflake
Snowflake...
Snowflake was four when she came into rescue and I had over seven years with her. I hoped she might last a few years longer. I can't put in words how much she has meant to me, or to the nieghborhood kids and adults who've visited her regularly. She helped socialize several foster dogs and was a wonderful companion.
Cody
Cody was a gentle giant, loving and quiet. He absolutely adored his foster mom, enjoyed playing with children, and loved to be fussed over by women, especially.
