Rainbow Bridge

Cooper was our fourth SHLR dog and the one we loved the longest. We typically adopt senior labs to give them the best golden years possible. But, Coop was an exception. He had us at "Hello" and never let us go. We were honored to [...]

We adopted Hayden as a 12 week old puppy. While he was adorable, he was also a handful! We loved every minute of his antics. Hayden loved to hike, kayak and cross-country ski with us. Any activity where he could get some exercise and spend [...]

We adopted our little black beauty named Stella on 2/28/14. She came to us literally on the day of our 16th wedding anniversary and there is never going to be another present to top it. When we first got her, she was a shy, scared, [...]
