Rainbow Bridge
Our Rainbow Bridge pages are tributes to the incredible animals we have loved and lost and who changed our lives.
The tributes on these pages are stories of loyalty and compassion and of the rescued goldens who conquered their past lives and came out the other side. Those dogs who have an icon are NRGRR dogs who crossed the Rainbow Bridge while in our program.
We would be honored to post your tribute and photo of your NRGRR alum, no matter what year they crossed the bridge. Email your picture, story and year they crossed the bridge to rainbowbridge@nrgrr.org.
Please consider a donation in memory of your loved one or one of our NRGRR dogs who never had the chance to find their forever homes. We will add the name of the person or pet to our memorials web page. If you would prefer that your donation not be listed, please choose the appropriate button at check-out. NRGRR will send a card to the family or friend of the individual/pet you have honored with your donation.
In August 2018 I adopted Griffin18; he was a big boisterous senior boy who never met an object he wouldn’t or couldn’t chew! And on June 13th, 2023, Griffin and I took our last road trip together. While driving from our new home in the western part of the state to Grace Park we talked about his favorite things, that he would be going to Doggie Heaven, that he wouldn't be scared and in pain anymore as the cancer would be gone, that he would run, chew things, and eat 'nanas any time he wanted, and that Maggie, Gracie, Tucker, Opie, Otis, Thelma Lu, and Joshie would be waiting for him. And that our friends at Grace Park Animal Hospital would help him just drift away with a smile. He was my Big Red Boy, my bestest boy, my Griffie and I miss him.
