Virtual Pet Loss Support Group
It is normal to feel grief and mourn the loss of your beloved pet. To most pet owners, the pet is considered a member of the family. There are several stages of grief (denial, anger or guilt, bargaining, depression, and acceptance), but not everyone experiences all of them or in the same order.
Kitty & Puppy Party
We’re opening our space to all who need a “cuteness break” with puppies, kittens, and adoptable dogs during the workday. Stop by our shelter on select dates and, for a small donation, you’ll get extra doses of animal affection to get you to the weekend!
