4 Paws Chapel &

Angels' Rest Memorial Garden

One of the hardest things to endure is when your loyal companion goes over the rainbow bridge. It is a heartbreaking time in peoples’ lives. 

The 4 Paws Chapel and Angels Rest Memorial Garden will be a place you can bring the ashes of your loved ones and put in the chapel or spread in the memorial gardens. It is our goal to have a place that will bring comfort to you when grieving. There are many people who don’t have family or many friends, or do not know what to do with the remains they are holding on to. 

Here at the Ranch you will find compassionate friends who care and will help you through this very difficult time. Our vision is to create a beautiful, meditative space with carved wooden benches and stained-glass windows on the grounds at the main Ranch in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. 

All are invited to come and celebrate the unconditional love of their pets who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for your generous donations and help in seeing this dream to fruition, for all.
 

Ways to Give
