Since starting Jack Russell Rescue, some of our beloved dogs are no
longer with us.
If you have had one of our Jacks and he/she has gone
to the Rainbow bridge, please send us a picture
to include on our site. And we thank you for giving them another chance to enjoy life.
Please page down to see our dogs that have gone over the Rainbow bridge.

MANNY 2008
Was
rescued from the Gold Coast pound by his new owner Sandra Watkins, his
problem was that he was too much of a character for several previous
owners.
He was fabulous and we loved him (he is the one on the far right). Thank you, also to Sandra Watkins and family for their kind donation to help another hairy over-busy JR to get a new home. |

JACK 2009
We were so fortunate to have had Jack for
nine years, we adopted him when he was 8 and how lucky we were!! He was the most
beautiful dog one could ever have and introduced us to the wonderful world of
JRT's. We miss him every day, he was a great friend and a great companion and
the most loving little man we coud ever have asked for. We love him so. Jack is

DODGER - 2010
Hi Jill, following on from our telephone conversation yesterday, I forward some details on “Dodger”.
We adopted Dodger from Sandra in 2004, and he immediately
become one of us. He followed me around everywhere I went and kept
looking up at me like a small child does. He learned to love our female
Jack “Trixie" and they were great mates, with Dodger often ruling the
roost with her. He was an escape artist, no matter what we did to dog
proof our yard, he still found a way out, and we would often come home
to numerous messages on our answering machine, saying they had Dodger
and then no he’d gone, and then the next person would leave a message.
But he would most times return home of his own accord. Two years ago we
moved onto 3.5acres which Dodger loved. He ran himself so ragged the
first few days he would sleep so sound and couldn’t wake easily. (we
thought he had passed away then).Dodger adapted to rural life easily
and used to sit on our ride on mower while I mowed the lawn. Dodger
always had a very healthy appetite and would eat anything and
everything especially a Scotch Finger Biscuit from me or the Kids.
Dodger eventually succumbed to illness and went to sleep on 3rd August
2010. He had a beautiful life with us and was much loved by our
extensive family.
RIP Dodger 1st April 1996- 3rd August 2010. You were a great mate.

SUZY -2010
Dear Jill - it is with deep regret
and upset that I let you know that my little treasure Suzy is now running free
over the Rainbow
Bridge.
She really was an incredible little
gem – she NEVER barked, NEVER even bared her teeth. Only last weekend an elderly
neighbour home all day said she had NEVER EVER heard her make any sound. The
gentlest little dog I have ever known. But very, very independent – in fact, she
preferred being by herself, she just never liked being with other dogs. Not
viciously, just a loner totally happy with her own company. She LOVED her walk,
and rarely a night passed without both of us walking 4-6kms. She took me!!
She was approaching 13.5 years old,
and about 2 months ago, I noticed that her usual long walk needed to be
curtailed a bit. And though her walk was still a necessity, they grew shorter.
Still, she was bright, active, still loved her food, and was bright and happy.
On June 14th, I was offered a beautiful 9 week old Jack Russell pup
for free – I rescued this pup as the breeder had planned to have it put down as
it had an over-bite. (breeder felt her over-bite was too much of a defect!!) So
completely unexpectedly, in my way, I rescued this little pup.
Almost over night, Suzy went down
hill. She went from her normal long walk to being unable to walk outside to do a
wee. No injury, no illness, she was in no pain, she just faded away. Today she
passed away, being held in the arms of a lovely dog loving neighbour, whilst I
was at work. I was home within 5 minutes, and she looked so peaceful and free.
It might sound silly, but I almost feel that she hung around long enough till
she knew I wouldn’t be left alone.

A SPECIAL DEDICATION

JODIE 2008
a much loved and never forgotten
beautiful girl,
from Kali, Paul, Hunter and Roxy.
BEYOND THE RAINBOW
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that’s trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful – lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I’m alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
‘Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we’re never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

Just
this side
of heaven
is a place
called Rainbow
Bridge.
When an
animal
dies that
has been
especially
close
to someone
here,
that pet
goes to
Rainbow
Bridge.
There
are meadows
and hills
for all
of our
special
friends
so they
can run
and play
together.
There
is plenty
of food,
water
and sunshine,
and our
friends
are warm
and comfortable.
All the
animals
who had
been ill
and old
are restored
to health
and vigor.
Those
who were
hurt or
maimed
are made
whole
and strong
again,
just as
we remember
them in
our dreams
of days
and times
gone by.
The animals
are happy
and content,
except
for one
small
thing;
they each
miss someone
very special
to them,
who had
to be
left behind.
They all
run and
play together,
but the
day comes
when one
suddenly
stops
and looks
into the
distance.
His bright
eyes are
intent.
His eager
body quivers.
Suddenly
he begins
to run
from the
group,
flying
over the
green
grass,
his legs
carrying
him faster
and faster.
You
have
been
spotted,
and
when
you
and
your
special
friend
finally
meet,
you
cling
together
in joyous
reunion,
never
to be
parted
again.
The
happy
kisses
rain
upon
your
face;
your
hands
again
caress
the
beloved
head,
and
you
look
once
more
into
the
trusting
eyes
of your
pet,
so long
gone
from
your
life
but
never
absent
from
your
heart.
Then
you
cross
Rainbow
Bridge
together.... Author
