Sweetpea F.o.R. Animals A non-profit, no-kill animal rescue
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so that they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals that 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 the Rainbow Bridge together ...

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
No farewells were spoken, no time for goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
A million times I needed you, a million times I cried.
If caring could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one else will ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
A heartfelt way to immortalize your pet is to make life heavenly for another animal.
You can't save all the animals in the world ...
... but you can make all the difference in the world to one animal ...
... please consider adopting again
