Rainbow Bridge

Established 1997

Our dogs love lying on their Kuranda beds. They keep them off of cold drafty floors during the winter and provides excellent ventilation in the hot summer months.

Though they benefit greatly from Kuranda beds, we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price so another rescue dog can sleep in comfort, you can do so directly from the Kuranda web site.

Just this side of Heaven is a place called RainbowBridge

When an animal dies - one that has been especially close to someone here - that pet goes to RainbowBridge. There are meadows and hills for our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water, sunshine and cozy beds, 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, someone 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 breaks 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 on your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet - so long gone but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the RainbowBridge together.

Chaos
Chaos - She was the most wonderful companion - ever the puppy even at 11 yrs. old. As sore as she with bone cancer she would still play with her red ball and sit with it. She lived for the moment and didn't worry about whether playing was going to cause stiffness and pain later. Her sheer joy at finding that silly red ball was a sight to see. ...She taught me a lot with that red ball.

Kirby
Kirby was a young pup when his family took him in 'temporarily' until he could find a home. But Kirby grew on them. They took him to obedience where he became the 'class clown'. When he did something he wasn't supposed to and got caught he would look at them as if to say 'What, are you talking to me?' and stick his tongue out. He gave them love and laughter. On December 25, 2005 Kirby went to the Bridge at the young age of 6 with liver failure. Kirby will forever be with the people he loved.

Bear
AJ, my husband, brought the little pup home to us in Laurel on a cold blizzard night from Bozeman in December 1997. He was an excellent boy who showed us the strength, intellegence and unconditional love a Rottweiler can give. He was a fishing and camping buddy and an all around good guy. Bear was diagnosed with lymphoma and we let him go three months later in August 2003. We believe he led us to Jake, he wouldn't have wanted us to be without a Rottie. We love you and miss you Bear!
