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 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 Rainbow Bridge together.......

Babe

Babe was a darling seven year old Miniature Poodle. Shortly after she came to us, Babe developed an issue with her left eye. She went to a specialist and was diagnosed with a detached lens in her left eye. Babe was in pain, so the eye had to be removed to relieve her pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, the surgery that was in her best interest was not successful and Babe passed away under anesthesia. She will be greatly missed, most especially by her loving foster mom who devoted so much time and attention to her.

Bella

After a week of cage rest it was obvious that Bella was not getting any better, and was in fact rapidly deteriorating. We took her took her to see an orthopedic specialist who confirmed that she had an torn ACL and had also broken a vertebrae. This was devastating news for all of us. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to correct this injury and upon the advice of the vet, we decided to have Bella humanely euthanized so she would no longer have to be in pain. We will all miss her dearly  but are comforted to know she is no longer hurting and can run free like all puppies should be able to do.

We miss our golden angel. Nothing made her happier than to roll in the grass! Cassie was pure boundless joy and love. She reminded us to take time to play and to enjoy every moment. We are so glad that we enjoyed a trip of a lifetime to the Grand Canyon before she left us so suddenly. We will hold you forever in our hearts.

Chuck

Atlanta Pet Rescue lost Chuck sometime during the early morning hours of July 1.  He died in his sleep at the vet clinic where he had been receiving care for several days. I had the privilege of knowing Chuck during his illness and spent time holding him and talking to him.  He was a sweet puppy and, in spite of suffering terribly from a virus that is preventable, he fought very hard to live.

Clancy

Delaney

Delaney's blood work results today confirmed that she was already in organ failure. There simply was nothing that her doctors or anyone could do to save her.  All we were able to do was relieve her suffering.  It breaks our hearts to say goodbye yet again to one of our helpless fur babies.

Drey

Drey and I spent the past 14 years and 7 months of our lives together. He was a wonderful companion and the best roommate I could ask for.  He enjoyed taking long walks through the neighborhood and barking at all of the bigger dogs. He also loved eating raw hide bones and stealing socks and leaving them in his hiding place under the bed. What I miss most about him is the greeting I would receive when I got home. His tail was always wagging a mile a minute and I knew he was smiling inside and out. I like to think he is in a happier place running around barking at all of the big dogs with an endless supply of rawhide bones and unmatched socks. He will be a part of my life forever!

Elsie

For the last two weeks we have struggled to save Elsie. She has not had much of an appetite, she has been very lethargic and seemed to be in a great deal of pain. Elsie was suffering from a rare digestive disorder or possibly an internal injury associated her broken pelvis. Her digestive problem and the traumatic injury causing her broken pelvis, coupled with the ravages of heartworm disease have been too much for her little body to handle. We are comforted to know that her foster families gave her love, happiness and a comfortable home during her time with us. We are especially grateful for  the generous sponsorships and support from all who have followed Elsie's story. She was a sweet sweet soul. We will miss her dearly.

Gizmo (Mama's Boy)

The twelve and a half years we had went by so fast.  It’s hard when I go home and you're not there to greet me. I can’t believe you’re gone. One of the hardest things I had to do was to let you go.  I’m so sorry and I will truly miss you. My heart is broken but my love for you will go on.  I know you will greet me when it is my time to go. Until that day, I love you little one and always will.

~ Your mother, Penny T.
