Gus 06-212

We honor our furry forever friends who have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge and who eagerly await us there.  Your tribute on our Forever Friends page will memorialize a beloved pet, and at the same time help rescued Golden Retrievers in need of medical care and new loving homes.  We are happy to post tributes to dogs, cats, and other critters. A minimum donation of $50 is requested. The inspiration for GRREAT’s Forever Friends is Gus (06-212), who sadly passed away at the age of five.  He came to GRREAT in November 2006 and was adopted by his forever family the following month.  Very suddenly, and tragically, Gus passed away  four months later.  He is fondly remembered as our first Forever Friend. To add your pet to our Forever Friends Tribute Page, please visit the submission form here.

Beau

Beau was my first “foster” dog who instantly became my forever companion. He passed several years ago just shy of his 15th birthday. Beau’s spirit lives on in the hearts of all whose lives he touched.

See you at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet boy.

Love,
Laura

Odie 11-017

In loving memory of Jessie and Dan Pickard’s ODIE.
(with apologies to Old Blue Eyes):

“He lived a life that was full 
He and Dan hiked every highway
But more, much more than this
He did it his way

He loved, he laughed and cried
He had his fill, his share of living
And now as tears subside
We find it all so inspiring
To think he did all that
And may one say, in a truly GRREAT way
Oh no, oh no not Odie
He did it his way.”

Love from The GRREAT Gatsby (12-044)

Zeus 09-167

For 9 years, Zeus made us laugh, delighted us with his smarts, and touched us with his sensitive soul. What was the most important thing he taught us? Come running when you see someone you love! We miss you, Zeus Goose.
