A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I’d walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

You came to me when I was sad
But with your love you made me glad

Always remember: I love you

Little Jory

Jory was a very special to Everyone.  His foster parents, Rick and Pat, took very good care of Jory, who came into the rescue program as a very sick dog.  We treated Jory, and he was able to enjoy several months of

and will not be forgotten.

Shuggie Bear

She came into my life
One bright and sunny day
The moment that I saw her
She stole my heart away

She was so frail and thin
From being locked away
I looked into her eyes
and gave up my heart that day

I gently put my hand down
To let her catch my scent
She knew that very moment
That my love was heaven sent

For ten long years I’ve loved her
I gave her all I had
We’ve had a bond unbroken
Through the good times and the bad

Our love was exponential
It grew for all those years
Today my heart was broken
My eyes filled up with tears

I held her in my arms
And whispered soft and low
I knew this was the right thing
But my heart kept screaming, no

The Doctor did her job
The shot worked very fast
I could feel her breathing slow
And her heartbeat stopped at last

My Sugar has crossed “The Rainbow Bridge”
To the fields where all pets go
To romp and play, for all their days
And wait for their masters to show

When once again I’ll hold her close
And tell her of my love
And we’ll walk the fields together
Through the heavens up above

All her pain has ended now
and mines about to start
I’m glad I have her sister, Maya
To help mend my broken heart

Shuggie Bear, we miss you every waking moment.
We’re taking care of Maya until the day she comes to join you.

I’ll love and miss you forever.
Daddy

Jingles

Jingles was a rescue dog who had been shot by his owner for chasing his horses. The owner then turned Jingles into a high kill shelter. Shelley rescued Jingles and his wounds healed and never bothered him again. Jingles was

especially his family. We can only hope to see him again when we, too, “Cross that Rainbow Bridge.

Bear

When I think of how lucky we were to find our angel, Bear, it brings a tear to my eyes. He was the only dog I’ve ever met, that just by looking into his warm brown eyes, you could actually see his kind, sweet soul. My husband
and I fell in love at first sight, when Sandy brought him out to meet us from the rescue at the age of 3. It took him a month or so to realize we were going to be his forever home, but once he did, he let the spoiling commence..lol..He
and his other four-legged siblings would get wrapped Christmas gifts each year, and be showered with love every day of the year. Bear’s passing was, and still is, quite a blow to all of us..my husband, myself, and his 6
year old brother, Rocky. We feel our loss every day since he left us for Heaven. We think of him daily and are so grateful to have had 10 wonderful years with our gentle giant…Until we meet again, my sweet, sweet boy….

Love, Mom and Dad (Michelle and Lance)

 

 

Maxie

On March 14, 2000, someone put the most beautiful American Eskimo dog, Maxie (10 months old) in our fenced yard. We did not want him because we had a dog. No one claimed him for two weeks. We fell in love with him and kept
him for 13 years. Maxie enjoyed playing with Lady (yellow lab/terrier dog) for almost five years (Lady crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 1, 2004). We then adopted Toby, American Eskimo dog, in December 2004 from Eskie
Connection. Toby enjoyed played with Maxie, too. It was very sad that the whipworms damaged his intestines as he had an irritable bowl disorder and it changed to gastric adenocarcinoma. He lost eight pounds (cachexia) in
four weeks. We worked very hard to save him, but had to let him go since he was in so much pain and suffering. We love and miss him very much forever.

In Memory of our Sweet Maxie, Pam and
Terry

 

Sweet Princess

Princess crossed the “Rainbow Bridge” and will not be forgotten. Princess (and Prince, who is still with his family ) came from Oklahoma at the age of 13. Their original owner went to a residential home and could not take care
of them any longer. The two were rescued from a shelter and then placed in a wonderful home. Thank you very much to Pastor Keith and Trish for giving Princess (and Prince) a very loving home. Princess was a beautiful Reskie
and will be missed.

Flurrie

We rescued her in February 1999. She had nubs for back paws and was a complete mess. She became a mama’s little girl who brought much joy to my life. This was our first Eskie who lived to be 15 and a half. She actually rescued
me. Until we meet again my friend.

 

BJ

Our first family pet. She saw our children from grade school through college. When defining the perfect dog BJ was the one. There will never be another one like her. She lived to be 16 and quarter years old. You will always
live on forever in our hearts.

 

Scamp

Scamp came to us years ago as a rescue dog thanks to Sandy & Kim. He was heartworm positive and very sick and he was the best Eskie to come into our lives, but with sadden and broken hearts Scamp was gently put to rest
on 8/15/11 Scamp was our big boy and gave us so much Love & Happiness. Words cannot express how much we miss him. We wish they could just live forever. Scamper will live forever in our Hearts and we we’re blessed to
have him. We miss you Scampy.

Rest in Peace our Sweet Boy

Corky

To our beloved Angel, Corky. You were in our life only a short time and yet you gave to us a life time of love. When you looked at us with those big, sweet loving eyes, our hearts would melt. You trusted us so much and knew
we would be there for you but now you are with Jesus who will be there for you. Our hearts are broken but you are in good hands now without any pain. We look forward to seeing and holding you again and feel your beautiful
love once more.

Your loving family, Ramona and Troy (Special note to Ramona and Troy: Thank you very much for fostering Corky and Schnitzy and giving them the loving home they deserved).

Sally

I fell in love with Sally the first time I held her – she was so soft and gentle that I wanted to hold her and pet her forever. We adopted her on 2/9/2005 and she was a wonderful part of our lives. She was diagnosed with cancer
in August 2012 and fought bravely and without complaint till 6/11/2013. She is greatly missed.

Jerry & Cookie Heidel

 

Our “Eskie Spy Dog,” Kip

We adopted Kip from AER 11 ½ years ago. He won our hearts from the moment we met him, when he kissed his dad on the nose during our visit to the vet where he was being treated for heartworms and kennel cough. On July 31, 2013,
Kip crossed “The Rainbow Bridge,” after a rather unexpected turn for the worse on the previous afternoon. He had been in declining health for awhile, but was joyous and loved life until the very end. He lived 14 ½ years,
at best guess. We feel an irreplaceable loss and will miss his thousands of kisses dreadfully (our “Lickenstein” dog!) and “Eskie talk” forever. The many “bunny runs” on which he dragged Mom along in earlier years, the
many weekend cooking afternoons spent begging Dad for “chick-chick” and steak, playing hide-and-seek around the kitchen island, “hootenahs” rolling on the bed and the rugs, watching him stand guard at his window a few feet
away—all of these moments will be forever treasured. His memorial is next to that window, where he can still bark at cars 5 seconds after they have safely passed out of his sight, and then turn to us with a proud look.
He was always a gentleman, playful and loyal, truly the perfect dog. To our “beautiful boy,” with heartfelt love and gratitude, from Mom and Dad.

 

Willy (“The Goat”)

Our little 15.5 year old Willy went to the Rainbow Bridge on September 9. He was rescued from the streets of Chicago at eight months old, flown to St. Louis where we fostered and adopted him. He became blind with a
genetic disease later in life. He always rode in the front seat of the car, often leaving his mom in the back. Willy will be missed by all who knew him. Shelley and Rick

 

Jake Grady – A Loyal Eskie Remembered

Not much was known about Jake’s young years. He was found wandering the streets in the Gasconade area of South St. Louis and ended up in the Gasconade Pound where he was rescued by American Eskimo Rescue. When he was placed
with my husband and I at 2-3 years old, he was jittery and very afraid of children. After a lot of love and reassuring though, he settled down to be a beautiful, sweet dog. He often received comments from strangers about
how beautiful he was. Although the male in him wanted to be macho and he felt he should growl at other male dogs, he would act shocked if they made an attempt to bite him. He would come whining to his Mama as if to say:
“Are they supposed to do that?” Thus, I nicknamed him “Baby Jake.” After all he never had a babyhood so he deserved one the rest of his life, right? He was always my Baby Boy and I am so glad I could be there for him this
summer when his illness and subsequent death from cancer took him from me. It was such a shock because Jake was healthy all his life and I just thought he would never die. Jake was there for me through many trials and errors
over the past 12 plus years. May God bless him and keep him close. He will never be forgotten — a great part of me went with him. Mama P. Grady

Jack – One of the Fab Four

AER would like to say good-bye to Jack, one of the Fab Four, and sibling to Micky, Sam, Reggie (gone too soon), Peggy Sue, and Mother Molly. Jack was adopted by a wonderful family who took care of him. Jack will be missed.

 

Victoria

We were blessed to have Victoria in our lives for 15 wonderful years. She was our beautiful little girl with a heart to match.

Christa and John Oxford

 

Frankie

Frankie in his younger days. What a beauty. He was deaf and had limited sight, but that did not keep him from enjoying life. He left me on March 14, 2014, because of an abdominal tumor that took his quality of life away from
him. Suka, Luke, and me, (MOM Pat) really miss you Frankie. We think he was about 16 or 17 years old. (Thank you, Pat, for giving Frankie his forever home – he will be missed and was a very special boy.)

 

Our Beloved Juneau

We adopted our beloved Juneau when he was three years old. The joy and bright spirit he brought into our home can’t be measured. His nick-name was “Juniehugs” because of all the hugs he to gave us. There is no pain greater
than the loss of love. Junie was loved by all who came to know him but especially so by Corinna and Jimmy. We will keep his memories alive and cherish him in our hearts forever. Greg, JoAnn, Corinna and Jimmy

well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.

In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Rest in Peace and may God bless you. Love, Molly & Tom and Fred & Diane

 

Jordan

Jordan was the Brother to Pippin. Both were rescued from Indiana after being
dropped off at animal control from a pick-up truck in the rain. Rescued by

AER STL and then adopted by the Berger Family.
Thank you to the Mr. & Mrs. Berger for giving Jordan a wonderful home.

Sweet Jordan will not be forgotten.

 

Candy

CANDY
We rescued “Candy” from a shelter in Indiana in 2013 when she was ten years young. She gave us all her love from the first day. She was a fantastic girl and so smart. Although we only had the loving and sweet girl
for a short time we will never forget her or stop loving her; she made our lives so much better. There is a big empty place in our lives now but the love she gave us while with us will help fill that void. She is in a better
place now and no longer hurting. We love and miss you “Candy.”

Thank You. Sue and Larry Watson

 

Cody (Bear)

Our Cody (Bear) crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Tuesday September 9th. We adopted Cody from the American Eskimo Rescue for my son’s (Dennis) 13th birthday in 2003. Cody was bright, playful and highly protective of our family.
We will forever have him in our hearts and forever be grateful to the American Eskie Rescue of St. Louis for caring and bringing Cody into our family.

 

Harley

Harley – what a smart boy and so devoted to his family members. In the short while we had Harley, he was so wonderful and we miss him. Sandy and Joel Michael

 

Babbs

Babbs was a sweet senior Eskie girl and was fostered and loved by Tim, Dr. Kim Lynch, and Amy. She chased the rooster, went for long walks, and watched the horses at her foster home. Babbs had a very peaceful and loving life
before she passed of cancer. Babbs will be missed. AER STL

 

Bonnie

Bonnie crossed The Rainbow Bridge on September 17. I have been absolutely devastated and miss her with all my heart. She was my BEST friend.
Love to Bonnie, Mamma Barton

 

Sam & Gus

Sam (15) and Gus (17) were inseparable. They were both rescued and gave us
so many years of companionship. We will miss them so much.
Mike and Nichole

 

Schnitzy

Schnitzy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Christmas Day. Thank you to Troy and Ramona for taking care of Schnitzy after she came to St. Louis. Schnitzy was nearly 20 years old, and she came to St. Louis with her daughter, Corky,
who has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Corky was about 15 year old when she passed. These two girls touched the lives of many and will never be forgotten. AER STL

 

Rocky

Rocky was my gift from heaven when I needed to smile again. He brought joy and love to whomever he came in contact with. He was a true Rockstar. I took him every day to the rehab center to visit my mom. Nurses, CNA’s and others
there for treatment would make sure they stopped him for his daily pets and snuggles. He ate up the attention. I was so very proud and happy to give him that purpose in life. I can’t thank AER STL enough for the trust in
us to give him his forever home. I knew when I saw his picture Rocky was supposed to be here for a reason. Rocky was taken way too soon from us but I’m sure he has another mission somewhere. I will see him again and we
are going to miss him dearly. I’m so glad we have our girls North and Shimmer. They are feeling the grief also. They really bonded with Rocky. We will miss Rocky very much. Bill and Patti

 

Prince and Princess

Prince and Princess were a wonderful pair of beautiful Eskies. Prince and Princess were a great addition to our family and we will always have fond memories of both of them. We will miss them dearly. Keith and Trish

 

CHLOE

Our Darling Chloe
There once was a little black puppy that was taken to a kill shelter. The shelter called Shelley with American Eskimo Rescue and said they had an Eskie puppy. Shelley picked her and the puppy was black
(no Eskie is black). Shelley called me and I picked up the puppy and immediately adopted her to a person who wanted a small dog. Two weeks later the owner returned the puppy. That began our love affair. I contacted AKC
and was told she was a Pomeranian. Chloe was my best friend and we shared many wonderful years together. I trained her and she won three obedience titles from AKC and one year the number two obedience Pomeranian in AKC.
We visited schools and gave programs on pet responsibility. We also visited assisted living homes and brought many smiles to the residents; everyone said how cute the black puppy was, and she was always the star of the
shows.
We were inseparable; she was always there for me. My heart still aches. A virus affected her kidneys and she passed away last February. Every morning I kiss her little black marble urn and tell her I love her.
When things are not going well I talk to her as if we were together; Chloe always listened as though she understood me. Sometimes I feel her jumping into bed and I reach to pet her. We were together 14 wonderful years.
I will always be grateful to American Eskimo Rescue for the joy they helped bring into my life. Someday I will get another little puppy but I am not ready. I know that I can’t replace her. We love and miss you, Chloe. Jane
and James

Pierre

After 15 1/2 years of companionship, true friendship, and real unconditional love, my Lil Man, Pierre, crossed “The Rainbow Bridge.” He has both entertained me and challenged me all the way. He helped me through many years
of trials and tribulations. My life will never be the same without him. I miss him with every beat of my heart! I will see you again when it’s “my time” – Mommy

 

Toby

Toby will be in our hearts forever. Laura

 

Mister

Luke

Our dear, precious Luke “Crossed the Rainbow Bridge” and we will miss him so much. We loved him so much. He was funny, loyal, affectionate, and so beautiful. The house is so empty without him. He was part of our family for
14 years and lived to the ripe old age of 16. You will be always in our hearts, Dear Luke.

 

Kayto

Kayto was 16 years old and our first reskie Eskie. He passed away on July 7th at age 16. Kayto was such a sweet and gentle dog with special quirks which just added to his charm. We miss him so much. Love Debbie and Becky.

 

Pappy

Pappy, you were my sweet little boy. You are now and will always be missed. Amy

 

Molly

Molly was such a sweetheart and she will be missed. Thank you, Clevlen Family, for taking care of Molly.

 

Buddy

Buddy was rescued in 2009. The shelter called and said: “if you don’t come get him he will be put to sleep in an hour.” Joel went to pick him up immediately. We brought Buddy home and he learned that we would love him forever.
Buddy passed from lung cancer and was about 12 years old. We had a wonderful life with Buddy. Sandy and Joel Michael

 

Rosie

Our companion of 15 years has journeyed on to the Rainbow Bridge. Rosie was
a great loyal companion, a real part of our family and loving friend. She

Love, Roy and Susan

 

Frosty Paws

Frosty Paws turned 15 in December, rescued him in 2002. Frosty Paws will be missed and we loved him dearly!
LeeAnn and Family

 

TIGO

Tigo came to AER a very sick little boy. Though he was old, blind and sick, he had a great deal of courage and a strong will. We came to love him very much in the short time that he was with us, but he seemed to capture the
hearts of everyone he came in contact with. He was fearless when we took him for walks for he loved the great outdoors where he could smell the air and feel the grass beneath his feet. At night he was cuddled, showered
with kisses then tucked into bed. When you picked him up he made just the cutest little noises looking at you in such a special way as if he could really see you! Tigo had a corkscrew tail that was a joy to see when it
was wagging. For Tigo didn’t just wag his little “piggy” tail for nothing, but when it did you knew you hit a home run in his book! We’d like to think that his last months were the happiest he had been since he was a puppy!
He fit in with his foster family like he had always been here. Tigo knew he was loved and we’d like to think we spoiled him a bit! He passed peacefully and left our lives as gently as he entered it. We love you little Tigo!
Thank you for redefining “special needs” for us! Thank you for enriching us beyond money, loving us beyond measure. Go play little guy, you are free at last to run! Love, Holly, Rob, Bo and Shelby

 

EMMY

We lost our precious Emmy to doggie heaven due to chronic kidney failure. She was 14. Emmy was such a wonderful friend and we will miss her. Thank you for what you do and we appreciate that you rescued her so we could give
her a home. We were truly the lucky ones. Thanks, Rick and Becky Sherman

 

VENUS

I was blessed to be able to have Venus in my life. When we got her I promised this would be her forever home and I kept my promise. She was the most loving, friendly and beautiful dog I have ever had. I know she is happy now
even though I’m very sad God needed her back home. Alice Lira

 

Zeke

Zeke came from a neglectful situation and was adopted to a loving forever home. Zeke will be missed very much. He was a sweet boy and loved by Phyllis.
Thank you, Phyllis, for giving Zeke a wonderful home.

 

Diamond

Diamond came into our life when she was six months old and she changed our lives. Diamond was such a good girl; she loved being with us very much and loved our Grandkids. She also loved to go for walks and riding in a car.
Whenever we left the house, I would grab her to-go-bag and she knew she could go with us. Diamond became a mother (or big sister) to our other dog, a cocker spaniel mix, named “Sable.” Some days Sable roams through the
house looking for Diamond. We miss Diamond very much. The Riley Family

 

Major McAllister

Major McAllister

Loved so much by the McAllister Family (Mike, Patrick, Tyler, Mike, Kayla, and other family members), Major will be missed very much. Major was rescued as a puppy with his sister, and they were among the first Eskies to be
adopted through American Eskimo Rescue of St. Louis. Major was 16 years young, full of life until he “Crossed the Rainbow Bridge,” and a McAllister Family Member who will never be forgotten. Major was a trooper fighting
cancer for eight months. Major will be sorely missed.

 

Lisa

Lisa was a very sweet girl and will be missed by many.

 

Gypsy Strickland

Gypsy was only nine and a half years old when she crossed the rainbow bridge from kidney failure. I adopted her when she was five and a half. Even though she was blind she brought so much light and joy to everyone she knew.
Very sweet and loving and my very good friend, princess, and puppy. Gypsy is so very missed.

 

Mitzie

Mitzie enjoyed almost six full years with us. During that time, she
enjoyed taking walks, romping in her yard, and chasing birds. She
always made sure that we said good night to her before going upstairs
to bed. She loved it when her daddy picked her up and held her. She
would snuggle under my chin, and then gnaw on my chin! She would try
to act tough by giving us her ‘wolf snarl’, but she never bit us. She
was such a sweet dog.  Vickie and I are grateful that you took a
chance on us adopting Mitzie. Our sorrow will pass, but we will never
forget her.  Mitzie will be missed.  Tom and Vickie

 

LACY

 

LACY

Lacy came to us from a foster home in Indiana. Her life started rough. By the time we got her she was 10 months old and she had already lost her right front leg . Despite her rough start, she remained a spunky fighter.  She loved life. She loved to bark at other dogs and ping’d whenever there was no dog to bark at. She loved flip chews and would actually flip them over her head when excited.She loved to play,chase rabbits and go for walks. Lacy had many aliases. Jo dog, tripod, momma’s precious were just a few.  Amazingly, she responded to all of them.  We got to enjoy Lacy for over 14 years; our two boys grew up with her. We have many pictures,  videos, and good memories.  We also have one huge hole in our hearts. Rest up, Lacy. We’ll see you soon!

 

 

SCOUT

 

Goodbye to Scout

The first night we fostered you, you jumped on our bed and slept by our feet. We knew we weren’t supposed to let you sleep on our bed, but neither of us could tell you “no.” We looked at each other and laughed and went to sleep. You slept by our sides and walked by our sides every day for the last eight years, never wanting to be too far away and always making sure to warn off strangers. As August, your dog walker, would say about your bossiness, “Scout gave them the business.”  You had a big personality and unconditional love to give to your family. You will never be forgotten.  Love you always, Sarah and Fernando

 

 

BOO

 

BOO

I visited you Boo at the pet store for a week before finally taking you home, it was love at first site. We gave each other 14 years of happiness and the best memories. You were so loyal and faithful to me, and I loved you so much. Your beauty made you never age. Every day I miss you and I didn’t want you to go, but for you, I did not want pain or suffering. You will stay near me until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge and forever in my heart. We miss you my boy, Love Momma, Papa & Nick
