The Rainbow Bridge
Author unknown Between Earth and Heaven stretches the glorious 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 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 vigour; 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 was 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 begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, 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 those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together... A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

Sadie lived to be 19 years old. She was a good ole gal. She will be missed very much. My brother rescued her from an abusive owner when she was a pup and lived a very good life from there on. Her and Friday are together again at the rainbow bridge. Vikki 
Stella is a 13 year old English Bulldog who was found dumped in a creek by animal control. She has obviously lived her entire life outside and more than likely on a chain and was nothing but a puppy ATM that was thrown up when the money ran out. Due to her never being spayed, she has mammary cancer that has spread to her lungs. Along with that she also has heartworms that have put her into heart failure, as well as multiple other very preventable issues that are easily corrected with responsible dog ownership. She was scheduled to be euthanized by animal control due to her multitude of ailments. Our rescue stepped in to adopt her so she would know love and joy for as long as she had left. She is clearly having the time of her life now and is not willing to let herself succumb to her illnesses. We have created a Last Wishes page for her to help educate people on preventable illnesses and what happens when you neglect to give your pet preventative care. One of "her wishes" is to be on the news to educate people on responsible pet ownership. She was able to accomplish this three-fold thanks to Fox46, The Charlotte Observer, and The Mooresville Tribune. She does not have long to live and we are constantly monitoring her quality of life to make sure she does not suffer. She is a real life inspiration that proves never give up on love. She has not even though the people that should have been there to protect her, failed her. You can follow her adventures on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/QueenStellasLastWishes 
I rescued Stevie in September from Hurricane Katrina he was pulled from the waters wearing a large chain around his neck. He had one of the most severe cases of heartwoms, NC State did surgery on him so he could start heartworm treatments. Stevie fought like a champ for his second chance at a new life, but he just could not win. On December 19th, Stevie crossed the Bridge. I will never forget you, your strength, or your love. Wait for me at the bridge Stevie. Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
