The Rainbow Bridge

"Few religions are definite about the size of Heaven, but on the planet Earth the Book of Revelation (ch. XXI, v.16) gives it as a cube 12,000 furlongs on a side. This is somewhat less than 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 cubic feet. Even allowing that the Heavenly Host and other essential services take up at least two thirds of this space, this leaves about one million cubic feet of space for each human occupant ... This is such a generous amount of space that it suggests that room has also been provided for some alien races or -- a happy thought -- that pets are allowed. -- Terry Pratchett

This is the hardest part of running a rescue.

Animals have shorter lives than people. Even in the best of worlds, their time ends before ours, and it never gets easier to say goodbye.

This page is dedicated to those creatures who touched our lives, be it ever so briefly. We are honored to have known you, and we hope to see you on the other side.
