There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called the "Rainbow Bridge" because of its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, it goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are young again.
Those who are maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.

There is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who loved them on earth.
So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are starring.
And this one suddenly runs from the group.

You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you both cross over the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

My wonderful, sweet dog Buddy, who I adopted from your organization 10 years ago, passed away last Tuesday. I am devastated and heartbroken, but I hold in my heart the wonderful memories of a loving dog.

Valentino

Hello all

I adopted Valentino from you on June 2, 2006 at the ripe old age of 14 and in the beginning stages of CRF (kidney failure) but that didn’t stop us and we just would like you to know that after only almost 15 months with him, today we had to help him cross the bridge. We will always remember how lucky we were to have him in our home and how happy he was and that was because of the wonderful people you have there (Thank you Bonnie) and Valerie (his foster mom) for talking all the time to bless him with your love and attention, he will surly be missed but I will remember all of you.

Sincerely,
Debbie Glowinski

Murphy

Last Hope Animal Rescue saved "Rags" as he was nicknamed by the volunteers who cared for him due to his ragged appearance in December of 1996 from the Islip Animal Shelter. I happened upon him at one of LHAR's pet adoption fairs at Petco in West Babylon right before Christmas and I fell instantly in love with him. Murphy, the name I gave him, shared with us 10 1/4 of his 13+ years of life. We were blessed to have known him. Murphy was a great dog and he will truly be missed.

Thank you Last Hope. Without the efforts of your volunteers, Murphy's path and mine may have never crossed.
