| The Rainbow Bridge at DESERT HAVEN ANIMAL REFUGE Williamsburg, New Mexico Pet Cemetery and Memorial Garden A Permanent Resting Place for Mankind's Most Loyal Friends |
The Rainbow Bridge Pet Cemetery is a peaceful resting place for your pet
and a sanctuary for area wildlife. Situated at Desert Haven Animal Refuge,
two miles south of Williamsburg, NM on Highway 187 (old 85), the pet
cemetery gives a commanding view of the Caballo mountain range. Birds,
horned toads, rabbits, lizards, butterflies and quail live here. Bald eagles
often soar across the blue skies along the Rio Grande River corridor nearby.
Drought tolerant plants and trees improve the landscape for visitors and the
environment for wildlife. A large number of native plants can be found within
the boundaries, from the beautiful desert willows to the globe mallow and
desert marigold. No herbicides or pesticides are used to tend the graves,
and weeds are kept to a minimum. Volunteers are always welcome for
occasional weeding get-togethers, held on Tuesdays.
We offer a choice of two distinct sections for your pet's final resting place.
In the Old West Section, each grave is marked by a mound of river stones,
just as in the old days.
In the Classic Section, each grave is marked by a scalloped red brick
border, with gravel interior.
Burials take place once a week, and are handled by Humane Society
volunteers. Arrangements can be made in advance for pet owners who would
like to attend their pet's burial.
Free storage is available until burial takes place, not to exceed 10 days.
Temporary markers are placed on each grave and will remain up to six
months, to give the pet owners ample time to purchase the grave marker of
choice.
Arrangements can also be made in advance, to reserve a grave plot for
future needs.
A cancellation of a plot reservation can be made up to six months of
purchase. Cost of grave site will be refunded, minus a processing charge of
25%.
FEES: 3' X 2' plot - $50.00, 3' X 4' plot - $75. Pickup $10.

| A Prayer For The Animals Hear our humble prayer, oh, God, Especially for animals who are suffering; For any that are haunted or lost or deserted Or frightened or hungry; For all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity, And for those who deal with them We ask a heart of compassion And gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves To be true friends to animals And so to share the blessings Of the merciful. Albert Schweitzer |
