After finishing their earthly journeys, animals who have deep connections with humans go to a special place called Rainbow Bridge. At Rainbow Bridge they make new friends, reunite with old friends, play, and sometimes think of their humans. Time goes by quickly at Rainbow Bridge until, someday, they are reunited with their humans.

Rainbow Bridge Friendship Tales is a series of drawings that portray the daily activities and friendship among real animal friends at Rainbow Bridge. We would love to draw your angel pet(s) and have them be part of the project. Your memories of them will be posted on the website as well. (We are hoping to have 1,000 animal friends.🌈) Please complete the form below, and we will get in touch with you very soon.

P.S. Our pets, Miaomiao and Kuli, are also there–the cat with a pink swim tube and the dog holding a sweet potato. They would love to make some new friends :)

“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.” —Unknown Author, The Rainbow Bridge Poem
