Memorials & Tributes

In Loving Memory of Bailey W

Bailey served as a Love on a Leash therapy dog from summer 2012 to Oct 2021, with that special knack for getting close to his visiting people… on a bed, next to a wheelchair, on his mom’s knee, next to a patient, sitting on a chair; Bailey always settled right in to the perfect position to be close to his people, whatever it took. His calmness, attentiveness, and gentleness always charmed folks and put a smile on their faces.

More than just a pretty face, Bailey gained fame and notoriety as the “dog in the hat”.. yes, he gained fame at his facilities for sporting proudly a vast array of headwear. Should other pooches would visit in his absence, it was a guarantee that someone would ask, “where’s the cute dog who wears hats??” A regular at senior homes and assisted living facilities, Bailey and his mom also had a special place in their hearts for stress busting at universities… firm advocates for the positive impact pets can have on mental health, especially during these most challenging times…maybe more important now more than ever. The loss of Bailey leaves a hole in many hearts; his mom requested a memorial donation to PRN in lieu of a service plaque.. we will strive to carry on in a way which makes Bailey proud!

In loving memory of Elsie

Elsie lived a beautiful life at the Rover Ranch always taking pride in welcoming new humans and dogs to her home. She was oh so sweet and gentle and never far from her loving dad Roy.

In loving memory of Jade

Jade was adopted in March 2007 by her foster failure mom Kathy. She had been living on the parking lot of a 7/11 begging for food, struggling to survive. Jade had the PERFECT temperament to work as a therapy dog, and spread joy, love and smiles from 2009 to her retirement in 2020. She had the natural gift of making every single person feel as if they were her very favorite in the world. She was dearly loved and will be dearly missed.

In loving memory of Winnie

Winnie was adopted from PRN in 2010 at age 3 and lived with her family in St. Louis and then Iowa for another 11 years. She loved long sniffing walks, chasing sneaky bunnies, popcorn snacks on the couch and afternoon naps on her quilt. She was adored by her family and will be missed. Winnie lived a real dog rescue happy ending! Winnie will stay forever in our PRN hearts.

In loving memory of Edgar

Edgar was a foster dog for 7 weeks in 2013, loved by Roy his foster dad. Edgar was such a special dog. He became a bit famous as his picture ended up on bottles of furminator shampoo! Edgar was adopted by a wonderful young lady, Stephanie, who has since become a very good friend to the volunteers and Pet Rescue Network. Edgar will remain in our hearts forever!

In loving memory of Cesar

Cesar lived with and was loved by his foster dad from 8/8/20 to 11/21/17. Then he was adopted by the MOST amazing family who cherished him every single day he was with them. Cesar, you were dearly loved and will be missed.

In loving memory of Lily

Lily (2005-2021) was loved and pampered by Rita G for many years. She was the cutest little girl and will be greatly missed. She leaves an empty spot in her family’s heart.

In loving memory of Kylie

January, 2021: Kylie came into rescue as an unwanted puppy, and was loved by her dad for over 8 years. Kylie was happiest when actively playing, esp frisbee or snow romping. A long walk followed by a TV chill session with her person was her defintion of perfection. Metastic bone cancer stole this girl too soon… run free dear Kylie.

In loving memory of Daisy

January, 2021: A loving donation has been made in honor of Daisy, family pet of Amy and Ron H.
Daisy was adopted as a young pup from a rescue group, and took her job as family lovebug, security alerter, footwarmer, and beloved pooch very seriously for over 14 years. She is sorely missed by her mom, dad, adult kids & grandkids. Rest well sweet Daisy.

In loving memory of Glenda

January, 2021: A loving donation has been made by Roy H honoring  beloved Glenda. Glenda came in to rescue as an adult; at one point after an escape on a very hot summer afternoon, she led PRN volunteers on a long, spirited chase through Brentwood! Glenda was the perfect mix of an independent but loving personality. This little gal got along with all other doggies in her home, never causing a problem, always a master of minding her own business. She was cherished during the second chapter of her 15+ years. She will  be remembered always in the hearts of her PRN family.
