In honor of GH Alum PRIM Prim’s world, though silent and dark, is filled with incredible strength. She relies on her keen sense of smell and her gentle touch to help her navigate her surroundings. Her trust in us is a daily gift- one that reminds us how much we can learn from her. She teaches us the power of patience. In a world that often feels rushed and loud, she taught us the importance of slowing down, truly listening, and cherishing moments in their simplest form. Prim may not have the ability see the world the way we do, but she sees with her heart. She is a constant source of joy and inspiration. We are so thankful she made her way to Glenhighland and picked us to be her forever family. She is a gift! - The Kinser Family

In honor of AAGIN With patience and love he became my steady companion. His journey from wild to wonderful wasn’t always easy, but it was a beautiful transformation. Beyond his wild spirit, Aagin revealed a gift few could have predicted-the heart of a therapy dog. He has brought joy to children, his calm and gentle nature melting the walls that some had built around their hearts. He was a friend to all, and through his love, children found comfort, trust, and even healing. His presence a quiet reassurance, his gaze a reminder that everything will be okay. His journey has been one of growth, healing , and most of all love. And through it all, we are lucky enough to be the ones to walk beside him. - Shelley & Mike Kinser
In honor of DAVE LEBEDIN'S retirement - All the best to David,

In memory of LILLY My Lilly girl passed a year ago 23 June. She was the most loving paws kid ever in my life! PAL to BC Hannah and she chose GH alumni, Rudy when he needed a place to land. Miss you so much my red head. Wish I could climb the stairs to heaven to bring you back. 16 years was not enough for your visit to earth. Joanne Cook  
In memory of RAPUNZEL Rapunzel came into our lives at about 15 years old, rescued after being discarded in the woods, sick and alone. The moment I saw her picture, I immediately got this feeling of knowing her, her spirit, as if we’d been reunited from long ago. With her big eyes looking up at me, I knew Rapunzel was coming home with me, where she was meant to be. The joy that Rapunzel brought to my life is beyond words. After some time, her body came back, her eyes brightened, and it was like she learned to be a joyful girl full of happiness who knew how much she was loved. Whether she was nearby gathering HER(!) toys up in her own little pile, or cuddling in her favorite blanket, her desire was simple: to be by my side and loved. That was easy, and I adored every moment. While our journey together on earth was just two years, Rapunzel and I enjoyed every moment together. It didn’t matter how long it took us to find each other, or how short our time here was, we lived a lifetime of love and happiness together in that short time. I often still feel Rapunzel’s soft little cheek against mine and hear her little tiger purr in my ear. And as I write this, I can feel her warmth and see the little twinkle in her eye. Our journey together was so special, and I am so grateful Rapunzel made her way to me and that she was in my life on earth, and still in my life after she’s gone to spirit. Rapunzel, you’re forever a part of my soul, my baby girl. I love you, I miss you, and can’t wait until we’re reunited again. Rest easy, my love. Bonnie & John Yurga  
In honor of GH alum PEPPER, PEPPER loved the water from her puppy days and greeted everyone she met with her open heart. Her long life meant at least three guardian transitions, the last one through Glen Highland, and she kept her smile through it all. We will miss our sweet girl’s enthusiastic embrace of life and know she is running free with her sister Casey. Thank you so much for all the work that you do for these great dogs.
Ryan & Sonia Chapin 
In loving memory of GH alum IZZY Thanks for over 8 years of bringing Love, Kindness and Honor through Canine Therapy to the Veterans of the Northport VA Hospital and to how his great heart made life a little bit better for all he came into contact with, both people and dogs. Thank you for making him a part of our lives. - Bob & Rachel Ryan 
In memory of GH alum HALLIE Thank you GHF for entrusting us with sweet Hallie. Her first year was unimaginable as part of a huge backyard breeding business in upstate NY. She was rescued by GHF and made her way to us. She chose to live a quiet life for the most part but was always ready to herd her sisters in the backyard while they played frisbee, happy to meet any of the fosters staying with us, approaching most humans shyly for pets and helping to raise several litters of GHF puppies at “her” house. She was a gentle quirky soul, choosing to be thoughtful in everything she did and following us quietly through most days. Peace to you baby girl, we miss you. - Ellen & Andy Simcik 
In memory of GH alum ZACH Thank you Glen Highland for trusting me to adopt Zach. We were very lucky to have 15 years of fun, health and happiness together. - Beth Hanlon 
DASH, our beloved quirky Border Collie, left us at the tender age of 17 years. He was very much a "guy's dog", good-natured but didn't like lots of hugs and kisses. We nicknamed him "Gronk" (as in Gronkowski) because of his gregarious nature and gangly awkwardness. He loved to ride in cars, where he would put his nose out into the breeze and "smell the roses". He also loved the seashore - he'd dip his paws into the water and walk the beach, sniffing at all the new ocean scents. His daily walks in the woods were both invigorating and therapeutic for all of us, and he always had a smile on his face (and would bring one to ours). Thank you for entrusting him to our care 14 years ago. He was a true gentleman and we couldn't have hoped for a better dog. Here's a picture of him at the summit of Mount Wachusett, Massachusetts, where we often went with him. - Stan Tyliszczak & Lucie Woods  
In memory of GH alums NELL & NIM Nell (10/2000 - 9/2014) and Nim (12/2014 - 2/2025) were wonderful amazing dogs who filled our lives with devotion, companionship and love well beyond our expectations. We feel honored and grateful to have shared their amazing and loving lives. - Bob & Lois Kessler  
In memory of GH alum MOOSE Moose passed on Thursday, March 13, 2025. He was my best son, and it still seems like yesterday when I picked him up from Lillie in Cooperstown, NY. He was my surfdog, my steady soulmate, and was loved by many. Especially by my husband and I, where he will remain in our hearts forever. He was the greatest dog ever and every moment was a gift. - Kate & Gary

In memory of HANNAH May 22, 2025 was a year since my petite little Hannah left us. I miss her cold little nose on my shoulder while we slept, her beautiful bushy tail, and her being the yard supervisor over Rudy and Lilly. Wish I could bring you back my love. Meet you again at the bridge my sweet darling. Joanne Cook 
In memory of our beloved girl, Piper was all things bright and beautiful, with a heart overflowing with love, a mind that was wise and empathetic, and a soul that was faithful and eternal. Piper was my constant companion, my take-along gal, my protector and best friend for more than 14 years. We were truly blessed with Piper, and there are no words to express our gratitude for having been the family with whom she spent her lifetime. Lovingly, and until we meet again good girl... Bonnie & Pete Ault 
In honor of our beloved FENWAY He lived for nearly 17 glorious years. Fenway was a stunning conformation CH, appeared at the National Agility Championship, was a Top Ten finisher at the AKC National Rally Championships and earned AKC titles in 7 different venues including an Obedience UD and AKC Tricks Elite level. A true border collie, he also herded sheep. Plus he is a sire of record and his children and new grandkids are loved and successfully competing in many of Fenway’s sports. He is formally known as CH Tartan Bay Green Monster. The Coblyn Family 
In memory of GH alums ORIE & WILLIS ORIE & WILLIS were adopted together in 2010, a pair who met at Glen Highland and forever lived together as true pals. Now, both are sadly gone. "It’s very difficult to express just how those dogs touched our lives. We feel so blessed to have shared our lives together." 
In memory of our "2nd Generation" Boomer (left; 2007-2020), our first border collie, who had so much personality, joy, and exuberance. Hailey (right; 2009-2023), the shy and timid one who found her first and lifelong friend in Boomer. Emma (center; 2010-2025), the sweet one who never met a human she didn’t love on sight. What a wild and crazy pack you were! We are so grateful to have had these 10-15 years with you and hope you’re together again, chasing each other through an open field. We miss you and will remember you always. - Joy & Michael 
In memory of my beloved PIPPIN Pippin was born with an obsession with toys. A challenging dog to work with as a young dog, once he found his "job" everything clicked. Dubbed "The Toy Consultant" Pippin knew the names of over 85 toys by the time he went to spirit; all of them named after characters from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. It took him about 3 minutes of play for him to learn the toys name and I'd better not forget because there was no renaming of toys! Pippin NEVER forgot. We had the honor of being part of the research for the Gifted Dog Project at the Ethology Department at ELTE University in Budapest, Hungary. Pippin loved nothing better than for me to hide a toy and send him on a search for it by name, often finding the toy buried in the ground. We would also pile all of the toys in the living room while I directed him from another room to find each one, sometimes slipping in a new toy which he easily found by process of elimination. He was one of a kind; frequently waking me up by dumping a toy on my head, always ready to play. Pippin, I miss you more than I can say. I hope you are up there somewhere joyfully finding toys to your heart's content. - Judi Sawyer 
In memory of GH alum PRIM Prim graced our lives for nearly two years. Though blind and deaf, she lived with a joy that lit every room. Her courage, gentleness, humor and bright spirit reminded us that true beauty is felt, not seen or heard. Her light remains with us always. - The Kinser Family 
In memory of CHASE Chase was born to run agility. His career was cut short at 4 years due to idiopathic seizures. However, he had a very full life with me, Lucky Lad and his special buddy Sean Douglas (a GH alum). At 9 years his eyes told me he was ready to go and so he did. My handsome Chase. He is finally seizure free and running heavenly agility courses. - Missed by Linda, 
In memory of my beautiful HOOT It was a privilege to share my life with such a wise soul. You still make me smile. Forever and ever in my heart. - Diane Figueroa
For Tera Monroe: - Matt, Shauna, Jacqui, Zach & Kristine
 
In memory of TIERNEY We say goodbye to our beloved Tierney with deep sadness. She was a sweet, spirited Border Collie. When we adopted Zach from Glen Highland in 2015, he needed a confident and compassionate leader –-a role Tierney totally embraced. They had a great partnership, and Zach has prospered under her caring leadership. Tierney excelled in making sure our yard was safe and was a gifted scent dog. She barked right back at the Canandaigua Lady boat tours because she was the “Canandaigua Lady”. We are deeply grateful for the love and joy this sweet girl brought to our lives. - Mike & Kathy Hoar 
In memory of my best friend, - Linda Dragoo 
In loving memory of GH alum KEENE - Annette Otis & Effie D
In memory of GH alum MADDOX When he was a bit younger, he slept on the bed, but over the last year, he was content on a rug at the foot of the bed. He had his own bedroom, we call it Maddox’s room. It’s where he liked to hang out when things got hectic in the rest of the house. Door always open of course. I remember when he first appeared on the Rescue website, and I fell in love with him then. I couldn’t possibly add another dog to the family, but I met him in person at the Farm, and it didn’t take much to talk me in to taking him. So, so glad we did. - Rosie Sutherland 
In loving memory of our GH alums - Barbara & Ted Zellner
