Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.....

1-23-07 Snowboy it has taken me a few days before I could write and put your picture here. You were with us such a short time and touched my heart like only special pups can. Your sweetness and the way you would hug my neck, I can say no more. I will see you in the rainbow field one day. Cheryl

He was a very special boy that was dear to my heart. I will miss him. Shannon

Old Man June 2006

Dear Old Man
So soon after saying goodbye to Lola, we had to say goodbye to you. Our hearts are heavy. You just showed up one day and decided this would be a good final home for you. You were our mascot, you were a hoot. We will always remember your rolling in the grass and making all those funny sounds, you truly were an old man!!!! You were always there to greet us with a smile on your face. You never ceased to amaze us with your strength and determination to prove your manhood!

What a privilege it was to know you. Enjoy your time over the rainbow bridge, roll around in all that green grass and moan and groan to your hearts content.

We miss you Old Man, there will never be another like you.

Becky 9-9-07
Well Becky, old gal, I found you starving, locked in a filthy pen with stagnant water in June 2006.  We rescued you, gave you love and attention,found out you were 10+ years old with extreme heartworms. and hardly any teeth but you never complained or hurt. In the last month you were so very happy, chasing the other dogs and wanting lots of love. Your passing was very quiet and we are so glad for that. Your friend Tyson laying right by your side until we came. We all loved you and will miss you. Cheryl
 
She was such a sweet girl and so happy to be a 4 Paws dog. How she loved her walks and how she always wanted to go "Becky's big adventure". Kim

She was such a sweet girl. I am glad that we were able to give her a really good life at the end. Sandy

9-15-8 Molly you have only been gone about 10 minutes but I must write this now. Someone dumped you and your sister just 6 days ago and we were sent by an angle to help you. You were so thin and so pregnant, this last weekend we thought we would loose you to the rainbow bridge. So sick you could not even move out of the storm. But you made it until this morning to have your puppies. Two puppies didn't make it but you have two other beautiful puppies a girl and a boy. We will take good care of these two that you suffered so much for. Go to the rainbow bridge now and wait for your sister Dolly, we will take good care of her too.

Lola June 2006

Dear Lola,
You came to us on your last little bit of strength. We were not sure if you would make it through the night. But you were a fighter, you surprised us all by regaining your strength. Then you were there just getting along with everyone, never asking for anything, just being your beautiful self. We loved you so much. We were so glad to give you a home for the rest of your life. It didn't seem long enough. From you we learned the beauty of old age, the strength to bear all thats given to you, the dignity of being in the worst shape possible and still having a smile for us.

We will always remember you, Lola, and we will always miss you. Rest in peace in that big field of flowers while you chase butterflies and never be hungry, or in pain again.
 
Our love and thanks to you for letting us be the ones to enjoy your final days.
Sandy

Alex, you came to us a mess. Hardly any hair, full of feas and blind. We knew you were very old and sick but we loved you for the few months you were with us. Look how beautiful you were right before you went through the rainbow.

We adopted Dexter/Jinx about 6 weeks ago. I'd like to thank you and your orgainzation for helping out so many animals. Without you, Dexter would not have experienced near as much happiness as he did in his short life. Margie
Dexter passed away from heart problems
