"MEGAN" 2007
We rescued "Megan"  in Aug 07 and had her for some four months. When she came to us she have hardly any coat and was covered with sores and a bad flea condition, also very under weight.
With the loving care of the Ferris family she gained weight and the flea condition was under control.  Deborah from Aussie Pooch washed her on a regular basis to improve her skin.

After four months her skin condition wasn't improving and under our Vets advice she has now gone to Doggie Heaven.
Sad as this is we were advised that this was the best for her as her skin condition would have been very uncomfortable for her, as her skin at times was very hot to feel.

"EVA"  2008
We acquired Eva from Sandra at Oakville as a companion for our male Jack Russell, called Rambo.
It was a bit of a rocky start, but they grew to love each other and were inseparable. She gave us great pleasure for the 6 years we had her, but sadly she was diagnosed with a Marcels Tumour and this was inoperable. We made the heart wrenching decision to end her pain on 5th April, 2008.

Rambo was not the same dog without her, he was forever searching all the places they used to get up to mischief in the yard.
 
We decided he needed a new companion, and we contacted Jill who had a little female. We picked her up on the 25/4/08. Her name is Samantha (Sami for short).   She is settling in well and they are getting to know each other. She will be a great mate for Rambo as well as a good companion for us.
 
Thanking the JRT Rescue for all your help over the years.

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 on the right pictured with Minnie.   Leane & Glenn

 
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....
