Your Pet Changed Your Life, Now They Can Change The World
We are building the world’s largest pet memorial - a 50-foot real life rainbow bridge that leads to the sky. It will be surrounded by a Story Wall featuring thousands of stories about the pets who have crossed our paths.
Once built, the Traveling Rainbow Bridge will journey across the United States, turning love and loss into hope for animals around the world with the Rainbow Fund.

Inspired By The Dog We Will Forever Love, Puppy.
Puppy was more than just our dog—she was family, our constant, and the heart of our home for 16 beautiful years. Her gentle devotion, playful spirit, and unconditional love shaped our lives in ways words can’t fully capture. When she passed in December 2024, our world changed—but so did our purpose.The Traveling Rainbow Bridge was born from the desire to honor her and every pet who leaves behind a legacy of love. This project is not just a tribute to the animals we’ve lost, but a promise to continue protecting those still with us. Every plaque placed, every story shared, and every animal helped is part of her legacy. Puppy may no longer be by our side, but through this memorial, she continues to guide our hearts. She taught us how deep love can go—and now, she inspires us to let that love live on.
