Diamond Adopted April 28th, 2018 - September 29,

Diamond

Adopted April 28th, 2018 - September 29, 2023

On Saturday, April 28th of 2018, we found Diamond tied up to a post at 19:40 at night. We decided to keep her and, on Monday at 4PM, we got a call from the Humane Society from the owner to claim her. The owners then brought Diamond back to our house, saying "You can keep her. She will have a better life at your house".

They didn't know her date of birth, but they said that Diamond had been with them for seven years. We made her day of birth on April 28 (the day we found her).

Murphy

“The best big brother to his two human brothers. Forever in our hearts."

Murphy loved everything about the outdoors; swimming, hiking, walking, camping, chasing squirrels and balls. He was the biggest baby, loved his people so deeply, and he was a protector. He now protects and watches us from above with a huge piece of our hearts missing. We love you, Murphy, and miss your daily kisses.

Loving, trusting, kindest, most special little bundle of joy that could steal anyone’s heart. We both gave each other this incredible sense of safety & belonging by never letting each other down. Pure mutual unconditional love, acceptance, & compassion. Simply the best & most powerful companionship. Nothing & nobody could come between us. It was us against the world…it still is and always will be.

Rest in peace, my beautiful sweet angel. We love you and we’ll miss you.

Little did we know how great of an impact such a small little guy would have on our lives. Oscie Pooh filled our home with unconditional love and amusement. We will forever miss his presence and companionship.

We love you forever, Oscie.

Sometimes life faces us with difficult decisions that are excruciating painful to make but necessary and otherwise selfish not to.

Dear Axl, our sweet boy, we wish we could have had more time. From day one, you stole our hearts. You charmed us with your quirky and spunky personality. You brought so much laughter and joy into our home and gave so much love to us and everyone that crossed your path.

For me, you were the boy I could never have. You filled a void so deep with unconditional love, companionship and loyalty. Together we watched the world go by, and through it all, you were always there. Thank you for being the greatest part of our lives. We will love you and miss you forever. Until we meet again.

Stop and Sniff the Air. Run free da buddy.

Friday

2008 - May 9, 2023

Friday was rescued from an SPCA unit at the age of 5 in August of 2012. Friday passed peacefully and with grace in “her backyard” where she loved chasing squirrels, spending time with her family, and wrestling with her buddy Daisy (the beagle) on a beautiful, sunny afternoon (May 9, 2023) with the loving support of Claire Place Veterinary Hospice. She was just shy of her 16th birthday.

In loving memory of our dear Sophie, who filled our home with boundless love and joy.

The house now feels emptier without her loving presence. We carry the daily pain of missing her, a testament to the deep bond we shared.

Sophie, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we find comfort in cherishing the thought of you in a place where pain and illness can no longer touch you.

Rest in peace, sweet friend.

August 9, 2009 – September 24, 2023

Max passed in the loving arms of his Mommy and Brother, surrounded by just a small portion of the love he gave in his lifetime. He came to us from a rescue organization after being saved from a puppy mill in Kentucky—but he was the one who rescued us. He was a licker of tears, a cleaner of wounds, and a constant caring companion. RIP to the Best Dog in the Whole Wide Universe. You leave a gaping hole in our hearts, my best boy.

Our handsome Cody boy has been our loyal companion for the past fifteen years. His gentle soul and charming personality provided our family, and all who met him, with the purest form of unconditional love and happiness. His expressive brown eyes were an inviting window to his kind soul. No amount of time with this sweet boy would've felt like enough, but his memory will live on forever in our hearts. He was a true one in a million dog, who can never be replaced. A piece of our family will always be missing without him here. Rest in peace until we meet again, old friend.

Zeus was an amazing soul. He was the friendliest, most loving and loyal dog we have ever known. From the moment he came into our lives he was our baby and life is not the same without him. He loved the outdoors and snacks with his Dad. He is free now, and we know he is running like the wind and chasing squirrels in paradise.

Sasha

2011 - September 2023

She was our everything, our daughter, and a fellow parent to raise our son with. As far as any other dog I have come across, Sasha was an anomaly. When you looked in her eyes, you knew there was intelligence beyond animalistic instinct drive. She was here for us, always. No amount of treats could have driven her from her family. We were her job, and being close to wherever we were was always her favourite place to be. We owe her a debt of gratitude for all the love, peace of mind, and security she gave us over our twelve years with her. She was our real life teddy bear. My life, our life, was so very blessed by being chosen to be her people. She was loved by so many and will never be forgotten.

Find us in our dreams, until we meet again. ❤️🐾🌈

Mittens was a part of our family for thirteen years. She had two owners before us, and we are very grateful she came to us when she did. She was a beautiful, sociable, even tempered cat, and she will be sorely missed in our lives. Even though it hurts, "it is better to have loved and suffered loss, than to never have loved at all", especially the unconditional love you receive from a pet. She will be forever in our hearts and memories.

November 2002 - September 2023

While your favorite places to be were in boxes filled with tissue, rolling about on the warm concrete on our front porch or your many napping spots throughout the house, your most favorite place to be was snuggled up with your person, Hannah. Your furry face, pink paws and constant purring gave us all comfort and made us smile.

You always had such a calm and agreeable disposition and you made Hannah feel safe and loved. We will miss you dearly. Find those tissue paper boxes in your safe place.
