Inspired by the beloved “Rainbow Bridge” poem as well as The Rainbow Bridge in Lake Lure, North Carolina, Jennifer Tripucka, Founder of The Local Girl and The Hoboken Girl, founded the Hoboken Rainbow Bridge Project with a deep love of animals and a desire to create a permanent, peaceful physical space where residents can honor pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
