In loving memory of our permanent rescue Mals that have gone on to the
Rainbow Bridge. They will run free in their silver harnesses until we meet
with them in Heaven. Godspeed...........

Tucker was the 1st permanent resident.( This was about a
year prior to Golden Years) Tucker was found running with a
pack in a landfill in Ohio. Shirley found out about Tucker and
arrangements were made to fly him to Michigan to join the
Thomas household. He loved to hoard his toys in his
doghouse and appeared to take "inventory" everyday. His
favorite toy was a yellow & purple turtle. He was doing well
until fall of 2002 when he started having trouble with his back
end. On December 16th he was totally paralyzed in back. The
time had come to say goodbye. Shirley held him as he quietly
left this world. Godspeed Tucker......

Toby came to us in January 2001 all the way from
California, a very scared and confused boy. Within
a few days he settled in and the "snowdancers" at
the Rainbow Bridge thought he should see snow for
the first time. He wasn't quite sure what to do, but
soon he was playing and it was sheer joy to watch.
We treasure that memory of you. We didn't have
him very long but he was such a joy to have.

Bear came to us from Ohio in April of
2001. What was thought to be a sliver in
his mouth turned out to be an aggressive
cancer. We found a perfect foster home
for Bear, where he lived out his days
lounging on the couch watching Animal
Planet. He lived just 8 short weeks in the
foster home and he is deeply missed.

King came to us in the winter of 2004 a poor, scared
dog who appeared to have been through some rough
times. Over time he became a very happy dog and
enjoyed living at his foster home. Click on his picture

Nook was one of our first rescue dogs back in the fall
of 2000. She ended up being adopted by Shirley &
John. Click on her picture to learn about this beautiful
sable girl. She went to the Bridge exactly 3 years
after our beloved Sheila.

Like Nanook, Baja came to our rescue in the
fall of 2000 as an owner surrender. As it would
turn out he would spend 5 of the next 6 years
living with us at Golden Years. Please click on
his picture to learn more about this very
special boy.

This poor old boy was sitting in the Sanilac
animal shelter and his time was nearly up. He
had no name and no family. Click on his
picture for his story.
