Across the Rainbow Bridge
In support of The Bello Project
Why We Walk
We walk for the ones who wagged, purred, and protected. We walk for the people who held them close through illness, loss, and life’s final chapter.
Across the Rainbow Bridge honours the bond between people and their pets at the end of life; a bond that is often deeper than words can express. Through Home Hospice Association’s Bello Project, we support those who are dying and want to ensure their beloved animal will be okay.
​
For some, this means helping to make a plan so their pet can stay with them safely, right until the end. For others, it means ensuring that when goodbye does come, it comes with dignity. When rehoming is necessary, we do so with compassion. And for many, it simply means peace of mind, knowing someone will be there to walk the last part of the journey with them and their companion.
Now, through our expanding H.O.P.E. Mobile Hospice, this care extends even further to those who are dying while living on the streets. These are individuals for whom a pet is often the only constant, only comfort, and only family. The fear of being separated from that love can be just as great as the fear of death itself.
​
We walk so that no one human or animal has to face that kind of fear alone.

“No one should have to say goodbye worrying if their pet will be okay.
We walk to make sure love outlives loss.”
Your Support Helps Us Make Promises We Can Keep
We promise to help people and their pets stay together as long as possible, offering in-home support and compassionate planning to prevent premature separation.
We promise that when goodbye comes, it comes with dignity. And if rehoming becomes necessary, it’s handled with love and care.
We promise to show up for people who are dying without a home, offering comfort, presence, and care to both the person and the pet curled beside them.
We promise to remember that grief has many faces, and that every goodbye, whether whispered or howled, deserves compassion.
With your support, these promises become real. With your help, we carry love all the way across the rainbow bridge and back again.
Walk With Us
Walk in honour of a beloved pet.
Walk in memory of someone whose last thoughts were for their companion. Walk to affirm that every bond matters and that even at the end of life, love still leads the way.
Wherever you are, however you choose to walk, your steps will carry someone else forward. Your walk will help build a future where no one — and no animal — is left behind.
