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.
Beau
Its with a heavy heart, we wanted to share with you our Beau (former name Beau Hudson) crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. It was sudden and unexpected. He had been off for a few days and we discovered he had tumors on his spleen where he was actively bleeding and his platelets and blood counts were dangerously low, making surgery too risky. We had to make a very hard decision and we were with him while he passed. We are devastated.
We wanted to thank Neuse River for introducing us and giving us Beau. He had quite the beautiful life with us after a rough start before you all rescued him. We have so many memories with him we will cherish forever. He was there for our engagement, buying a house, marriage, so many trips, walks, hikes, dog park runs,and became a big brother last year to our son Kai, whom he adored. We are so grateful he was there through so many big moments. We are grateful to you all for what you did for Beau and the life he had with us as a family.
