The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven lies the Rainbow Bridge.
When a beloved pet dies, it goes to the Rainbow Bridge. It makes friends with other animals and frolics over rolling hills and peaceful, lush meadows of green.
Our pets do not thirst or hunger. The old and sick are made young once more; the maimed and the ill become healed and strong. They are as healthy and playful as we remember them in days gone by.
Though happy and content, they still miss someone very special, someone they had to leave behind.
Together, the animals chase and play, but the day comes when a pet will suddenly stop and look into the distance...bright eyes intent, eager body quivering. Suddenly recognizing you, your pet bounds quickly across the green fields and into your embrace. You celebrate in joyous reunion. You will never again separate. Happy tears and kisses are warm and plenty; your hands caress the face you missed. You look once more into the loving eyes of your pet and know you never really parted. You realize that though out of sight, your love had been remembered.
And now, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
GOUDA - Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 4/10/2026
We had to say goodbye to our Gouda gal; unfortunately she was very ill. Dogs have a way of masking a lot of their illnesses and pain and Gouda was no different, but as the days went by her foster mom Adrianne knew something wasn't right. At the vet, it was found Gouda had a probable tumor, her blood counts were way off, her tummy was very squishy and painful, her heart was enlarged, and she didn't want to be touched. At her older age, her quality of life was not good and she just wasn't a happy dog anymore. She had a lot of people that loved her right to the end. It is important that she knew she was loved and that she mattered.
JOSIE - Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 3/20/2026
After one year in our rescue, Josie's journey with us has come to an end and our hearts are so heavy. We always hope every dog finds their forever home...and while Josie may not have found hers in the way we imagined, please know this -- she was in a loving home. That is what our fosters do...they step in, they open their hearts, and they become family. A very special thank you to foster mom Karen for giving Josie exactly that -- love, comfort, and a place where she truly belonged. Run free sweet girl. No more pain, no more worries -- just endless fields and sunshine. You were so loved, Josie, and you always will be.
