Brianna
GSRA Class of 2003. She made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge on Tuesday. She provided me with 10 years of joy and love and was kind to many GSRA fosters that passed thru our home. She was big sister to Rose and Willow. She will be missed by us all. Run free Anna and Ivan……together again

Duke
In December of 2006 we rescued Duke from the animal shelter. He had just turned 3 years old. Reality is that he rescued us! Duke was a sweet boy who enjoyed just being with his family and loved having his picture taken. My children at the time were 14 and 6. Duke loved our cat Salem too. In 2009 we moved from Florida to North Carolina and Duke found a new love...Snow! Duke was the man of the house and he loved and protected each one of us but it was clear that he truly was my daughter's dog. He would not take his eyes off of her :) This past week we had to put Duke to sleep. He was ridden with arthritis and was not able to get around and we could not stand to see him suffer. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. He got to enjoy his 10th birthday which was Thanksgiving day and one more Christmas with us. We are so sadden by his death. Our home has a empty void that cannot be described. I know he is our Guardian Angel in Heaven and is still protecting us.

Shawnee
Our family adopted Shawnee from the German Shepherd Rescue in 2006. She was a great dog who gave us so much love, friendship, loyalty, and joy. We hope we gave her as much love and happiness and she gave us. Shawnee died unexpectedly only after 6 years with us. They were six wonderful years. We wish we could have had more years with her. You will be in our hearts forever. We love and miss you so much.

Katy
It is with great sadness that we have to announce that our foster Katy has crossed over the rainbow bridge. She had several serious health issues for a young girl and sadly the DM eventually took her quality of life along with the use of her legs. Throughout the months that she was with us she always had a smile and loved dinnertime with a passion. We will miss her soft bark but we are happy that she now runs wheel free. RIP sweet Ms. K.

Bella Rose
My beautiful Black German Shepherd succumb to her Liver cancer, what a bundle of joy she was. Not a mean bone in her 110lb body. She was my girl. My closest friend and pocket puppy. It was only 2 days ago and my heart is aching so. I miss her and love her always. Thank you Belly, for helping me raise the boys. Wait for me, I know how impatient you are. You are released from duty, go play, tail wagging, tongue hanging. Love you girl
