Ellie was a very sweet, loving girl who was adopted by a wonderful family two years ago. She was diagnosed with syringohydomyelia, which caused her much pain. Her parents did everything possible, but to no avail. They loved her so much that they gave her the greatest gift of all- freedom from the pain. She is now playing at the Bridge and waiting for the day when she will be reunited with her family.
A donation is in memory of Ellie, who was rescued from Rainbow by Jack and Lauren Mooney. This gift is from Lauren's parents, Rick and Kathy Austin.

Dakota passed on today Aug. 24th. He was a loved member of the family and had a great life for the last year and a half. Now he is not in anymore pain. We'll miss you buddy, love Esther, Dallas and family.
Dixie (Gypsy) was a very special girl. She had a very hard, miserable life until July 2006 when she was rescued from the woods outside of Charlottesville. She was in foster care until Sept. 2007 when a very special family adopted her. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge last night, Dec. 27, peacefully in the arms of her very special loving family. Her family, Barb and Bill gave her more love in the three months she was with them, than her previous family gave her in the 9 years that they had her before chaining her in the woods to die. Her family is heartbroken, as are all of the Rainbow Rescue volunteers who cared for her before her adoption. She will be missed tremendously.
Melanie ( died May 31, 2006)
| Melanie had a very hard, short life. She was adopted but ran away from her new parents. She was found by Animal Control after 4 days. The new parents decided they didn't want her. She went to Rainbow Animal Rescue who found her a new set of parents. They were very nice and took Melanie to visit his parents for the Memorial Day weekend. She backed out of her harness May 26th and ran into the woods. Everyone searched for her Friday -Sunday, to no avail. She was found Wednesday, hit by a hit and run vehicle and was dead at the scene. Her life was just beginning and ended as quickly as it begun. She is in a better place now, and she won't have to run away anymore. |
