It came to me that every time I lose a dog
they take a piece of my heart with them.
And every new dog who comes into my life
gifts me with a piece of their heart.
If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog,
and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

We lost our gorgeous Milo three weeks ago at nearly 13 years old. He was such a good and loving dog who made us laugh every day. He was full of character and enjoyed life until the end. He will always be loved and terribly missed.
Thank you LRRSE for your hard work and for placing Milo in our home all those years ago!

What a great life. You came to us as a rescue dog unsure, nervous and looking a bit 'scrappy' (that was your previous name), and we didn't realise then what a huge impact you would have in our lives. We didn't realise that 'rescue' meant it would be you who would be rescuing us from the stress and troubles of the world. You did that every day with your gentle kindness, energy for life and always being there with a wagging tail to greet us, first one I saw in the morning, last one at night. So many adventures and good times to recall, but you made our lives better every day. We have grown older with you, I turned grey with you, you shared our life ... you were our life. So brave, dignified and patient at the end, surrounded by your family, I am so grateful for that last day of stokes, and wet whiskery kisses, you were fed some fine fillet steak by those you loved, and then 15 minutes later were gone, I looked into your eyes and told you, you were a 'good boy' ... you were the best boy, can't believe you are gone. The next day I took your collar on a final walk to your favourite place, with happy memories every step of the way. They say that dogs pass over the rainbow bridge to go to run free in the grass and an everlasting 'walkie' , well that afternoon a rainbow appeared above our house, and I hope you made it to a happy place, young, fit wagging your tail and with us in your heart ... always with the sound of my voice in your ears and the last thing I said to you ... "skip, you GOOD boy"
Roger, Tracey, Amy and Chloe.

When our boy sonny passed, whom we got from you. You called and asked me to have a look at Jess. You were concerned that she would not last the weekend in the kennels. She was petrified, she hid , and the poor girl had obviously been through something. Love brought out this beautiful personality, sassy and loving and I just wanted to say, sadly we lost her yesterday, a big thank you for bringing this beautiful girl into our lives.

coco coco

starCocostar


Coco
I remember when Kim and I arrived at Chessington on the 12th September 2013 just to look at a prospective dog for us. We arrived at the enclosure and this beautiful brown lady galloped the full length of the pound to greet us with a tail that resembled a helicopter rotor! Kim instantly said I hope it is this one we are to look at. It took a nanosecond to decide that we would take her home with us The car journey home was interesting as she travelled very well but was obviously very nervous and we had to open all the car windows! She settled in very quickly at home and within a few days it was like she had always been there. She loved her daily walks by the beach or over the South Downs or through the many woods and country trails that we are so lucky to have nearby. She loved to snuggle up and cuddle us and was very diplomatic in ensuring we both got equal cuddle times.
She was wonderful with our granddaughter from the very first day that she was born and they became the very best of friends in the two and a half years our granddaughter has known Coco. Our grandson too built a great relationship with her. In the last year or so she had some health issues and finally her back legs started to give up on her and we had to take that dreadful decision to let her go. Thankfully due to some excellent pain management from our vet she never suffered with any pain. However, her quality of life was rapidly deteriorating. We shall miss our gorgeous girl when we go out walking but deep in our hearts we will know that she will be there right by her sides enjoying every step.
I would like to think that we gave Coco a good six and a half years but she repaid us ten times over.
Run free our lovely girl.

Today the dark clouds arrived and we had to say our goodbyes. Today is a day of raw pain. Today is the day our hearts have been ripped out. With time, the pain will fade, but never, ever will the memories. Until we meet again Amber, you will be cared for by your playmates that have already crossed over the rainbow bridge
We would feel it an honour if you would add Amber to your Rainbow Bridge memorial.

My Dearest Fudge
This has taken me several months to write and I still miss you every single day. You were probably THE most stubborn dog that I have EVER met, but you were so funny and lovable with it, that you could get away with almost anything! You came into my life "a tad" overweight, but we managed to slim you down to a respectable 29kg (as I always said, you were never going to be a supermodel)
Do you remember HC? ("Hated Collie", real name Alfie) You terrorised that poor dog for absolutely no apparent reason whatsoever, in your own inimitable fashion! You certainly kept everyone on their toes, and luckily his owner was extremely understanding... A memory popped up today, from four years ago on Facebook, where I'm asking you if you wanted to go to the common? You proceeded to spin on the spot at high speed, and then bounce around the kitchen!
You'll probably be pleased to know that I adopted another rescue a few weeks ago. A little Romanian street dog, who was found abandoned in a car park. She weighs less than 6kg, so I've named her Dinky Dog. She's a young whipper snapper but really sweet and affectionate, with a large helping of mischievousness thrown in for good measure. One of your human friends commented that you would have approved!
We had six fantastic years together, I just wish it could have lasted a few more. You have left a massive, labrador sized hole in my heart that will never be filled. Rest In Peace My Flump 20/08/2008 - 18/03/2020
Until we meet again xxx

We miss him dearly. 2 years ago Robbie lost his eyesight to PRA (progessive retina atrophy). With a little training he coped so well. We wore bells and he followed us independently on his daily walks on the downs. He was amazing.He remained a puppy until the day he died on 01st September 2020. Thank you for rescuing our best friend and all the other wonderful dogs. We still feel lost without him but are grateful for the amazing memories we have.

leila

starLeilastar


One dark December night you came
Leila was your given name
You came into our comfy home
Into the garden you did roam
All you wanted was to please
You’d put your head upon our knees
To get a fuss behind your ears
You quickly overcame your fears
7 years you made us happy
To follow that there comes unhappy
You gave us many hours of pleasure
And lots of memories we will treasure
You loved the river and the sea
And that is where your going to be.
What a happy dog you seemed
You looked at us and almost beamed.
Your tail was always wagging
Until the day your life did end.

blanca

starBlancastar


Blanca was an adorable pet and absolutely unique. She was the most relaxed and chilled out pet you could ever wish for. Whilst she was being trained she would lie prostrate on the floor and go to sleep waiting for her turn. She rarely barked, never growled and loved children, other dogs and cats. Always at our side or shepherding us together to sit with her in the evenings. Very loving in her own way and very independent. A small wag of the tail was always appreciated but anything more would have been out of character. A big dog that has left a big gap in our lives.



bailey

starBaileystar


Bailey bounded into our lives 9 years ago and thereafter made a lasting impression with everyone who met him. He was the most kind, tolerant and gentle dog we could have wished for. Our grandchildren have grown with him; he's been "best friend" to them all and he's hardly left our side since he arrived with us. He was the most loyal to my husband and was always 'one step behind' - his remarkable sixth sense would take him to the front door to wait for his arrival 15 mins before he came home from work. He was our companion on holidays, day trips and simply by our side every day. We miss him dreadfully but feel blessed to have been so lucky that he was chosen for us.

We rescued each other in 2005. It took 8 years to work through his many issues, it was so challenging and it was so worth it. He died peacefully at home, in the garden, surrounded by his pack in 2020 - he had a very, very happy life with us.

buster buster

starOdinstar


In Dec 2005 I got a dog from Ireland from your organisation. That first year he was wild and I wondered what I had let myself in for. Walks were challenging, being in the house was challenging and I couldn’t leave anything remotely edible where he could get to it. It took a lot of time and patience but he eventually settled into the life of a pampered self centred sofa slug, who would come to you when he wanted fuss but wouldn’t begrudge you the odd unasked for cuddle. Who would look you in the eye as he stuck his tongue in your cup of tea on the table next to you. He came to work with me nearly every day up until this last year, we had holidays together and he helped me get through many difficult times. I had to let him go this morning, the years of hydrotherapy and physiotherapy got us this far with his arthritis but we found a mass and he wasn’t going to get better.
I just wanted to say thank you. Without your organisation I wouldn’t have had my best friend for 15 ish years. Thank you for rescuing him all those years ago. He was my world.

roxy roxyroxy

starRoxystar


In October 2010 we adopted two gorgeous Labrador girls who we called Roxy and Honey. They were five years old and brought instant joy into our family. They were both different characters but were constant companions for each other. Sadly in January 2017 we had to say goodbye to Honey following a period of illness and after this Roxy had to cope on her own without her soul mate.
Roxy continued to be our best friend, always there with a cuddle or lick when we were feeling down. Although it was obvious that she missed Honey she always seemed to enjoy her walks and time spent with the family but there were moments when we could see sadness in her eyes.
Unfortunately she developed a lipoma on her hip which was untreatable for a lady of her advancing years. This grew progressively until it caused her a lot of discomfort and we had to gradually reduce her walks. Throughout it all she continued to be the loyal, brave girl she always was.
Sadly, we had to make the decision faced by numerous dog owners; it was time to consider her quality of life. We said goodbye to Roxy, here at home, on Monday 25th March 2019, a month after her 14th birthday. We all miss her terribly and she has left a giant void in our lives. The only consolation we have is that Honey was waiting at Rainbow Bridge for her so that they can continue their lives together.

tilly tilly

starTillystar


It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this. My lovely Tilly passed away suddenly on Thursday 28th March 2019. We had been out for our early morning walk where she had met some of her friends and had a play. Tilly then had her breakfast and lay down in her favourite spot by the kitchen door so she could watch what I was doing. When I sat down with my breakfast Tilly did not come and sit beside me as she would normally do. When I turned around she had passed away. No pain or upset for Tilly. Just a walk, breakfast and then to sleep. So peaceful and the way I would want her to pass away.
I adopted Tilly from IRR in May 2015 when she was 5 years old. I was her third owner and to say Tilly was traumatised is an understatement. She pulled like a train, did not like other dogs much and did not like to be stroked or cuddled. It took me over a year to get her to settle and learn that she was staying with me. We went to 3 training sessions a week so Tilly could get used to being around other dogs and for her to learn basic instructions. That said, Tilly never caused any damage, counter surfed or messed in the house.
I have to say that I have never had a dog that stank as much as Tilly did. She would roll in fox pooh with a smile on her face. If it was muddy, smelly or dirty then Tilly was there. I had my own account with the local groomers. Tilly could be stubborn and selectively deaf when it suited her, yet she was never far from my side.
We had just spent 5 days in the Peak District with her best friend Jake. We had had a lovely time and she had walked the hills, swam in the river and played ball. We were due to go to Scotland in April but I will now be going on my own, although I will still be able to share Jake.
Tilly was a lovely dog and once she had settled down never caused any problems what so ever. Over time Tillys warm, loving personality finally came through. I hope that she enjoyed her time with me. I tried to gave her the best possible life I could. I will miss her tremendously but in a few weeks I hope to be able to adopt another dog. I will never forget Tilly and although we only had 4 years together she will always be with me.

Ten years ago we became a team: Lucy was mine and I was Lucys. Together we took care of our family; I would cover the day shift and Lucy took care of the night patrol. She was my shadow around the house and cast a shadow beside mine when we were out and about. Her shadow is now on my heart. A much loved and adored member of the family. So thankful she left peacefully as we sat side by side sharing our last mutual adoration session. Full of energy, love and forgiveness all the way to the end of her 14? years of life.

bodie harvey

starBodiestar


I thought I'd write to let you know that our beloved black lab, Bodie, adopted from LRSSE over seven years ago aged 7 and a half, sadly had to be put to sleep on Friday 19th January. He had reached the grand old age of 14.5, and was an absolute and utter sweetie who has given us seven years of unstinting love, companionship and joy. Everyone and every dog who met Bodie loved him: from the very day we adopted him, he was gentle, affectionate, sweet-natured and amiable. He helped children scared of dogs to realise they had nothing to fear, he loved his holidays with us in Cornwall, he worked his way into the hearts of all who met him, and we miss him hugely. We have applied to adopt another labrador from you (or two!) but Bodie will always have a very special place in our hearts. Thank you for bringing Bodie into our lives. He was a gem.

We fostered Misty at the age of 8 years and 10 months - she had been breeding all her life and was still lactating when she arrived. She settled in very quickly and became part of the family. She was delightful, very loving and happy to relax and enjoy her retirement. After only 1 year and 3 months she became ill and died. She has left a massive hole in our home but also many happy memories.

Rebel

starRebelstar


Rebel - The bravest of the brave
Rebel we were absolutely delighted when you joined us just over two years ago. We loved you from the moment we first met you when you came running to greet us. It seemed we were always meant to be together and you went on to settle really well with us over the following weeks and months. You quickly became a big part of the family and soon it seemed like you had always been with us. Unfortunately during this happy time we received a devastating diagnosis that you were suffering from a serious incurable illness. We knew our time together would not be anything like as long as we would all have wished it to be. We all vowed to make the most of whatever time we had and we most certainly did just that. You were often ill and we were regular visitors at the vets. You were such a good boy taking all your medicines and coping with your illness with amazing courage and bravery whilst you continued to enjoy every minute of every day. You loved your walks, playing with your toys, playing fetch, your holidays, trips to the beach and everything else that we did. You even wanted to help with the diy.
Everyone who met you fell in love with you and we could not have been more proud of you.
Sadly your illness began to overwhelm you in recent months as we knew it would. We could see you were going downhill but you bravely and courageously kept going until it was only fair to release you from your pain and suffering.
We are truly heartbroken but it helps to know you are no longer suffering and all the happy memories we made and the photographs we took and the videos we made will give us some comfort going forward.
It was a pleasure to have you in our lives and a privilege to care for you. You wagged your tail from the day you arrived until the end. Thank you Rebel for everything you did for us and for being such a loyal loving friend.
Sleep tight little man and have fun at the Rainbow Bridge with Bella and all the other doggies.
We will always miss you and remember you with love. You were a star and the bravest of the brave.
Love, big hugs and kisses from

Tia was an Irish girl. She was a joy to train and people used to actually stop and watch as I put her through her paces up the park. She/we were frequently complemented on her behaviour. On a personal level she was with our family at some of the worst times in our life, nuzzling our tears and offering her head under any empty hands...she made us laugh, frequently, she never really 'got' the screen door and would run through it every time the door bell rang... she would bring us presents when we came home to her and had different excited 'squeaks and squeals' to greet her favourite guests. We shared adventures, cosy new forest pubs and caravan holidays. Our home is so empty, her thumping tail was a rhythm to our lives.

Holly 29/1/07 - 1/11/17
The day she came into our lives I shall never forget. This beautiful girl, locked in a cage on a van form Ireland, was sad and frightened. Initially at home she was shy, but over time blossomed into the most loving, kind hearted, loyal friend without a bad bone in her body. She took over our home and stole our hearts - we fell in love with her. She was adored by everyone she met. All her family, and even her vets, were besotted. She was the perfect angel. She had the most beautiful expression, the most lovely smile and the most calming of personalities. She did love a good chase in the park though - she was a puppy at heart. Her illness lay undetected until it was too late to help her. She stayed with us as long as she could but sadly had to leave us. Goodbye for now our beautiful darling Holly. You will always live on in our memories and our hearts. There will never be another as sweet and lovely as you.

deano

Deano came into our lives eight and a half years ago with the help of the LRRSE. From the moment we met him we fell totally in love. A very special boy with a huge heart that he shared with everyone he met. He loved his walks on the beach and chasing balls, although he would not always bring them back, he was a best friend to everyone. He always knew if someone was sad or ill and would be the first one there to comfort them.
Unfortunately, Deano became ill very quickly with diabetes, pancreatitis and then pneumonia and we had to make the devastating decision to have him put to sleep as we could not see him suffer. Aged 10 he was really too young and we certainly were not ready for him to leave. He will always be in our hearts.

31.5.2003 - 13.5.2017
Nearly 14 years to the day we adopted her

" I remember when Keah first arrived as if it was yesterday. She was nervous and unsure at first, but with the help of her terrier buddy Jasper and us humans, she soon settled in. At first she wouldn't go in the garden unless we put a lead on, this was what she was used too, and didn't realise she could run freely outside, with patience and kindness though she became braver. I remember taking her to Hatfield Forest early one morning and letting her off the lead for the first time, she looked at me as if to say, what do I do now? I said run and play with Jasper, she ran and barked and rolled, and I could see the joy on her face. I will never forget that day.
Now 14 years later we have said good bye and feel so lucky to have had Keah in our lives. Keah was my son Adam's dog and the picture is of them about a year ago and you can see the affection in Keah's face. She is now beside her buddy Jasper, who we lost two years ago and when we are ready, we will scatter their ashes on their favourite walk.

Our handsome fox red boy barged into our lives courtesy of LRRSE in Oct 2007. Joining up in mischief with our black lab girl Kala who sadly passed to the bridge Feb 2016. His hip/elbow dysplasia finally became too much for him to bare and he went to sleep quietly in our arms today. We are devastated and broken hearted to have now lost them both. He was gentle, friendly & kind but stayed aloof and noble. His courage throughout his pain was remarkable to the end. But we knew it was time to let him have some peace finally.
Forever in our hearts.
Thank you LRRSE for sending him our way, a great if stubborn friend.

Ben, the house feels so empty without you and we still expect you to come running downstairs when we come in.
Such a funny lad, with your idiosyncrasies, the seizures, anxiety of digital noises and dodgy stomach, and yet, everyone you met loved you, handsome boy.
From the moment we met, we were smitten. Morning treat and cuddle on the bed with mum, you were so patient with the baby when he was born, never ever did we worry, and you knew mum was pregnant before we did!
Long walks with dad, beaches, coasts, fells, hills and woods.
Our lives seem poorer without you around but richer for having had 10 wonderful years with you.
Run free now, Mr Chops.

He was the most wonderful dog. Patient, loyal , placid and a friend to all other dogs. We knick named him 'Mr. No Trouble' as he really was never any trouble! He is missed by many people who all recognised what a lovely dog he was and leaves a big hole in our hearts! This is a photo of him on one of his holidays which he loved.

Pepper 21.2.2007-21.1.2017
Pepper came into my life at 4 months old from LRRSE. She was full of life and my constant shadow.
She loved her buddy Dougal and her ball!
I nearly lost her 17 months ago but she fought back against all the odds from seizures and a stroke. She lost her sight and couldn't walk but miraculously she regained her sight and was soon back playing with her ball and loving her walks.
She didn't quite make her 10th birthday and has left a very big hole in my life.
You went into Renal failure and died peacefully in my arms. I miss you sweetheart. I have many happy memories of you, even though you often tripped me up!
Sleep well.

honey honey

star Honey star


Honey came into our lives, along with her companion, Roxy, in October 2010 and together they changed our lives. Having owned Labradors for 40 years these two darlings once again completed the family. In October 2014 Honey developed pancreatitis and became a very poorly girl. Eventually she was diagnosed with diabetes, a condition we knew we would have to manage for the rest of her life. She was such a brave girl and beat the pancreatitis. For two years she coped well with the injections and restricted diet but six month ago she developed cataracts and eventually became blind. From then on she became quite depressed.
Just before New Year 2017 Honey became very ill and was hospitalised for 36 hours and then returned home. Unfortunately, the pancreatitis had returned and this time she wasn�t strong enough to defeat it. Sadly we had to say goodbye to her on 6th January 2017.
Honey was not just a dog; she was a member of the family, someone to cuddle when you felt stressed or down and our best friend. She never complained no matter how poorly she was feeling and she has left a huge gap in our family. More than that she was a constant companion to our other Labrador, Roxy. We went to work, went out occasionally and went to bed but Honey and Roxy were together for 11� years � 24/7 � apart from when Honey was in hospital. The gap in her life is much bigger.
We know that Honey is at Rainbow Bridge free from pain and suffering and we miss her more than we can say.
Till we all meet again Honey! We love you.

Amber bounced into our lives as a lively 2 year old in early March 2005. We all fell in love with her immediately. I am so grateful that we were chosen to have her as part of our family. Although we are heartbroken right now, (we did everything together!), we are left with the most wonderful memories of our time together and know we were lucky to have her for so long, leaving us 5 days after her 14th birthday. She grew up with our two children who were only 7 and 9 when she arrived. All the wonderful holidays, days out, school runs, party's, Christmas', too many things to mention... won't be the same without our girl.
Till we meet again Amber, see you at Rainbow Bridge. Xx
We are so grateful to Labrador Rescue for allowing us to be Ambers family.
Best wishes,

Thanks to the Labrador Retriever Rescue Southern England, we were able to welcome our beautiful lab x collie Angel into our family about 12years ago. After a very happy and loved life with us we unfortunately had to say goodbye to our princess this afternoon. She went peacefully at home with her family holding her and telling her how much she was loved.
I want to thank you and your team for making the last 12years of my life complete. Angel has been a huge inspiration in my life and we have many happy memories to cherish. Wishing everyone in the charity and all the dogs you help the very best of luck.

Trooper was the friendliest most loving dog I have ever known. Although he was only with us for six and half years he touched everyone who knew him and never had a cross word with any creature he met.
Two summers ago his life was altered badly by a spinal embolism which left him with only semi-working back legs. Even this though did not diminish his capacity to love and live.
Sadly his candle was too bright to burn too long and he lost his battle with a cancerous growth in his front leg on 02/07/15. He was our Teddy Bear who wanted nothing more than to love and be cuddled, and was part of every single thing we did and we will miss him forever.

Patrick was six when we got him, but he thought he was younger!!! A laid back chilled out forgoes boy. No one wanted him because he was so strong, but he walked straight to heal for me. I loved him on sight and so did my children and everyone who met him. He was never a fetch a ball kind of dog, but he just loved being with us. We went camping but he did make a sizeable whole in our tent when he thought he saw food so bypassed the door and just went straight through the tent!!! He loved food and would try anything to get it. He found a way to climb onto the counter when he smelt cakes. When caught he never grumbled and let you remove everything from his mouth. He loved his twice daily walks, wasn't so keen on swimming but loved a good paddle. My children's sea scout troop, rowing team and football team loved him as he was always there to support them. Many say how lucky he was to have us but really we were lucky to have him. He gave us five years, amazing memories and broken hearts when an aggressive tumour took him from us on 17.6.2015 . Gone but never forgotten and always in our hearts.

Rosie, she was such a joy -
loved to play with all her toys!
In the park she'd run about
chasing balls . . . without a doubt
the finest catcher with a snout!

At the beach she'd love to swim.
Heaven forbid if we had a whim
to close our eyes and toast in the sun -
she'd make sure she had her run
along the shore till day was done!

At each day's end she'd jump on the bed
and snuggle close, lying head to head
on her back with legs in the air
hoping one of us would care
to tickle her belly for her welfare!

She was gorgeous, loving and very clever -
the beautiful memories will last forever;
Our loss is the Rainbow's gain,
but some day we will meet again.
Till then, in our hearts she'll always remain.

Rosie, we love and miss you so much . . .

Farewell Old Man - the time was right,
It broke our hearts - we held you tight,
Your poor old body had worked too long,
Delay your going? It would be wrong.

Your big strong head, your velvet ears,
I gently rubbed as I fought the tears,
You showed the vet your fearless will,
Until peace came at last and you were still.

A gentle soul and loving friend,
Whose time with us is at an end,
You blessed us all each day we shared,
I think you know how much we cared.

So rest dear friend beneath the tree,
Your gentle spirit at last now free,
Our pain will ease but you will know,
Our love for you will never go.
