Every tag on this bridge represents somebody’s best friend 🌈🐾
Tucked beneath the trees in Lacombe, Louisiana, a small memorial bridge has become a special place for families remembering beloved pets. In just two years, more than 600 collars and tags have been added — some by local visitors and others sent from families across the country.
The Lacombe Rainbow Bridge was created by Mardi Paws/Scott's Wish with support from St. Tammany Parish Animal Services. It was inspired by the original Rainbow Bridge at Lake Lure, North Carolina, where families left collars, tags and tributes to pets they had lost.
What started as a quiet place for remembrance has grown into something much bigger. Families continue to visit, add tags and spend a few moments among hundreds of names — each one honoring an animal who was deeply loved.
