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.

Cyrus
We did not rescue you, you rescued us. Your flame will burn eternally in our hearts. The joy you brought into our home and the bond we had will never pass away. You were a truly remarkable and resilient dog who's personality was priceless. Cyrus passed away on Friday September 4th, 2009. He was battling a serious rapid spinal degeneration that was leading to full paralysis. The medications to help give him freedom of movement (we hoped) took their toll and all we could hope for was one more day. When Cyrus was diagnosed the Vet gave him six weeks. He made it 3 months and for that we are grateful. Cyrus was the epitome of a Rottweiler whom showed his gratitude for a forever home. He loved people and animals and was well loved by all whom met him. He showed this community that the Rottweiler's negative reputation was simply how the dog was trained and cared for. He was able to educate many whom met him on the merits of Rottweiler Rescue as well as the wonderful and true nature of a well trained Rottweiler. His time with us was short, much to short. Yet, in that short time of 3 years he was given a home where he was loved and cared for and he returned the same to us a hundred fold. We miss him a great deal and our home and lives feel empty without him. He convinced us that it was our responsibility to do the same for another, to home another Rescue in need. We plan on adopting again, there are so many out there that need forever homes and with Cyrus we learned so much about how rapidly a dog can recover from a life of abuse and become an integral part of a family. GOOD BYE MY BUDDY, YOU MAY BE GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

Haley
Haley came to us from a shelter where she was dumped. She found an awesome foster Mom in Kelly and lived happily for a long time. Haley was helped to the Bridge so that now she no longer has to deal with HD, or torn ACL's and pain. She is running, jumping, and playing with all the other dogs, waiting for her her turn to cross the Bridge. God speed Haley - until we meet again...
