Rainbow BridgeJust this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
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. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. |

SaffySweet Saffy came into rescue in January 2017, very poorly, and needing mammary surgery. Her fosterers took her into their home and hearts, and gave her lots of love and cuddles. Sadly, this little mite wasn't strong enough, and she left for Rainbow Bridge to join Poppet and Annie, and all the others who have been loved, cared for, and are now so sorely missed. Sweet dreams Saffy, we didn't know you for long, but you touched our hearts.

PoppetPoppet came in to rescue in November. She had been thrown from a van. One of her back legs was damaged as she had difficulty walking. Xrays at the vets showed a deeper problem, she had bone cancer, and it had spread to her chest. She was just too fragile. A heart wrenching decision was made, and she was set free to run with the hounds at Rainbow Bridge. RIP Poppet, you knew love when it mattered most.

AnnieAnnie was on her way from the pound on the morning of 3rd July 2016. Her freedom ride to us in Cornwall..... a life of love and fun, things she has never known in her life. Annie died in the pound the night before collection, alone in her kennel. She was found in the morning when her freedom ride chauffeur went to collect her..... devastated doesn't come close to how everyone feels about it, ....... RIP Annie... we tried really hard to get you safe...

CherryThe beautiful girl Cherry, was only with a fosterer for a few days. Cherry was very poorly and needed love and a quiet place to end her days. The wonderful Claire took care of her allowing Cherry to have the best last days any dog could wish for. A bright star now shines for her.

TonySee this little man, this little man is Tony. Tony had been at LCH for a week. He came from the pound on Sunday, 18 October 2015. He had just finished a course of antibiotics for an inflamed bowel.
On Sunday, 25 October 2015, Tony developed a limp. So on Monday, 26 October 2015, we took him to the vets for a check up and x-ray. The reason for his limp? Well it's quite simple really....a massive tumour!! One so big that it stopped his bowel and bladder working and was pressing on his pelvis. We had to say goodbye to this beautiful precious 6 year old soul. He was dumped because he was sick. Well, his owners don't need to worry any more as Tony is sick no longer. Us on the other hand.......are broken.....again!! |

CharlieThis is a personal tribute from Charlie's dad:
I was so lucky to adopt Charlie on 7th July, 2016. Time was unexpectedly short and he passed away last Saturday, a week short of three years. He was very wary of people, particularly men, initially, but gradually his confidence, and later his ebullience shone through. He vocalised like no other dog I’ve ever had, and always with a rapidly wagging tail, excitement and love. He so enjoyed his walks, his friends and above all being together in his home and garden. To experience such a beautiful chap learning to love and trust again has been very special for me as well. The innocence and honesty of animals can teach us so much – if only people listen. Thank you for your help. LT |
