We are a group of volunteers who love animals. We
started Rebecca’s Rainbow in 2009 to provide a
resource for terminally or critically ill pet owners
to find safe placement for their beloved pets. We
rely upon the strong bond that exists between the
survivors of serious illnesses and those whose loved
ones have passed on. This strong and compassionate
network of people helps with foster care, adopting,
and funding.
We provide
temporary housing for these pets in our homes and
address their veterinary needs. We work closely with
local professionals such as social workers, health
care workers, real estate agents, funeral directors,
attorneys, veterinary professionals, and animal
shelter personnel to keep these pets from being
subjected to the stresses of shelter life or
unnecessarily euthanized.
When possible, we meet with each
person and their family to hear their thoughts on
the kind of home that would be best if it becomes
necessary to find their pets a new home. The
assurance that these pets will be cared for lifts a
tremendous burden and helps bring peace of mind.
