A Place to Honor. A Path to Heal.
At Big Lake Humane Society, we know that the bond between people and pets is one that lasts forever. To honor the lives of cherished companions—whether adopted from our shelter or beloved family pets from your own home—we’re creating something truly special: The Rainbow Garden.
This tranquil memorial space on our shelter grounds is a tribute to the love we’ve shared, the losses we’ve felt, and the healing that continues. Designed as a physical representation of the “Rainbow Bridge” where pets wait for us, the garden will be a beautiful, peaceful space where community members can walk, reflect, and remember.
Why it Matters
Your memorial supports more than a memory, it supports a mission. Every tribute helps shelter pets heal, grow, and find new families. Together, we’re creating a place where love lives on, one colorful step at a time.
Join us in building the Rainbow Garden.
Because every pet deserves to be remembered and every life deserves a chance.
