Traveling Rainbow Bridge Aims to Become World’s Largest Pet Memorial, Bringing Healing and Hope Across the US
A powerful tribute to the pets who changed our lives is on its way to becoming a national movement. Traveling Rainbow Bridge, a first-of-its-kind mobile pet memorial, has launched a campaign to raise $500,000 to build what will be the world’s largest traveling pet memorial—and they’re inviting pet lovers everywhere to be a part of it.
Founded by a husband and wife who recently lost their beloved dog, Traveling Rainbow Bridge was born from grief—and transformed into a mission to help pets in need. “We wanted a way for her legacy to live on,” said co-founder Eric Calisto. “Now, thousands of pets will have that same chance.”
At the heart of the memorial will be a breathtaking, 50-foot real-life rainbow bridge that stretches toward the sky, symbolizing the love that continues long after a pet has passed. Visitors will also be able to walk along the Story Wall, which will share heartfelt tributes to the pets we’ve loved and lost—each one submitted by pet parents from across the country.
But this isn’t just a memorial. It’s a movement. By sharing your pet’s story, you’re not only honoring their memory—you’re helping pets in need. Each plaque and donation supports animal welfare initiatives through the nonprofit behind the project.
The Traveling Rainbow Bridge will tour the United States, bringing comfort, connection and purpose to communities large and small. But before it can begin its journey, it needs the support of those who believe in its mission.
$500,000 must be raised to make the vision a reality.
“This is more than a tribute,” said Calisto. “It’s a way to turn loss into legacy—and to give every pet a chance to be remembered in a beautiful, lasting way.”
