Though their time with us was never long enough, each of these beloved shar-pei left a lasting mark on the hearts of those who knew and cared for them. Our Rainbow Bridge Memorials honor the cherished Operation Scarlet kids who found loving forever homes, as well as those who crossed the Rainbow Bridge while still in our care, waiting for the family they deserved.

Whether they spent their final days surrounded by an adoptive family or by the devoted volunteers of Operation Scarlet, every dog knew compassion, comfort, and love. Their stories, memories, and beautiful spirits will forever remain part of the Operation Scarlet family.

Akasha

Akasha was rescued in 2001. She was a sweet, sweet girl with a very troubled past. So troubled that her days were tormented by extreme anxiety. So many of us at O.S. tried to make her days happier and more comfortable, but our efforts were not enough to help her forget. Dear sweet Akasha, may you now find peace and be free of pain and suffering.

Tribute To A Best Friend

Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor….
then I remember,
it’s where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound….
then I remember,
It’s where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can’t be yours….
your golden voice is still.
But I’ll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall.
I’ll wrap these treasured memorials
in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend
until we meet above.

November 2, 2007, we lost you Annie. You were always our regal queen, but close enough for loving; however, often underneath a desk, table or something to feel secure. Those years we had with you will always be close to our hearts. Farewell Annie, until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge . Jeanne and Brian Maximillian, Lover Boy & Big Bucks.

Bark-Lee, you were my best friend and constant companion for the last 12 years. Words cannot explain how much I love you and what you mean to me. You came into my life like a whirlwind, taking over the house as if it were built for you and just awaiting your arrival!! Not much changed after that. My life revolved around you and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Your cute little ways made me smile even in the worst of times and you were with me through many of them. I will miss you until I take my last breath on this earth. My heart is broken. Goodbye little man. -Sophia

Betty, you had such a hard life before coming to us and soon we learned what a “tough” little girl you were and how you survived.
You were totally blind and could still find the food bowl, and the back door when we let you out and your bed when you came back in.
We loved you and know you loved us back with your tail always wagging; it was heart-breaking when you told us you had to go.
Miss you Boop! -Ken and Mary Ellen

On August 25th, 2003 Brutus passed on. After 9 good years of giving unconditional love to his adopted family and being loved right back, chronic problems with his rear hips, arthritis, and just plain old age in general finally took their toll. It was the day that no responsible pet owner ever wants to face, but we all knew it was time. All we can say is that you are now pain free ­ and that you are missed. Thanks for the good times bud, thanks for the memories. The Leos

“Happiness can be defined as the furious wagging of your tail, Metronome Butt. The happier you were, the harder your tail, and tail end, wagged.
Even through the long, and unusually successful, battle with your cancer, your proud little flag was waving.
You were always ready for whatever adventure waited, and joyously celebrated with your food bowl.
Be sure to show everyone your “I’m so happy I can’t stand it” dance. Zeus is with you now, the way it should be.”
