🐾💜 Remembering With Love: Pet Day of the Dead 💜🌼

As pet parents, we can all agree that the time we have with our dogs will NEVER feel like enough. The love they leave behind lasts a lifetime, but navigating the grief of losing them can be overwhelming. You don’t have to go through it alone.

Join us on Tuesday, October 27th, for our Pet Day of the Dead, a day dedicated to honoring and remembering the dogs who will forever hold a special place in our hearts. 🌺🕯️

Our ofrenda will be available throughout the day, and we invite you to bring a photo or special item to honor your beloved companion.

At 6:30 PM, we’ll gather for our Paw Prints Support Group, a space for grieving pet parents to connect with others who understand, share memories, and find comfort. We’ll also be making flower bouquets, with flowers provided by us, to leave on the ofrenda or take home. 🌼

Whether your loss was recent or years ago, your grief matters, your love matters, and your pet deserves to be remembered. We hope you’ll join us as we honor the paw prints that will forever remain on our hearts. 💜🐾

📅 Tuesday, October 27th
🌼 Pet Day of the Dead: All Day
🕡 Support Group & Bouquet Making: 6:30 PM

Asking for help like this isn’t easy.
As a small business owner, my instinct has always been to put my head down, work harder, find another solution, and figure it out. I’ve wrestled with whether to even create this fundraiser.

But I’ve also realized something over the years:
This place has never really belonged to just me.

It belongs to the friendships that started here, the staff members who know your dog’s name before they know yours, the dogs we’ve watched grow from puppies into old friends, and everyone who has ever walked through our gates and thought, these are my people.

So instead of quietly struggling, we’re choosing to be honest with you and ask for help.

If you can donate, thank you. If donating isn’t something you can comfortably do, please don’t.

Owning a small business means accepting that there will be difficult seasons alongside the incredible ones. But when I look around this place, I don’t just see a business. I see a community worth fighting for.

So whatever happens, thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💛💛

If you would like to contribute, the link to donate is in the comments of this post.
