"Always knew Mac would NOT have his life ended on a cold, hard vet's table. Knew of Heaven at Home for quite awhile. Could not have done this without Dr Laurie. You have no idea how…"
It has been a little more than 2 weeks since our little buddy, Mackinac, went to the Rainbow Bridge...April 29, 2019. He was just shy of 15. He came to live in our hearts and home when he was just 8 weeks old. We are just getting to the point where we can talk about the countless memories we have, without tearing up. We knew this would be difficult, but really didn't understand how very… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Many, many thanks to Dr. Brush and her office staff. The several times I came to the office to get medicine, everyone was so kind and compassionate. A special thanks to Dr. Brush for helping Miss…"
I adopted Miss Daisy just two years ago. She came from a home with large dogs and was kind of pushed by the wayside, as she was just a thirteen-pound little girl, and never got the love and attention she deserved. When she came to our home, she was loved and her new sister, Bella, became her best friend as though they had always been together. She loved to go for walks, even with her… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"He was my best friend and I miss him so much. It has only been a week but the hole he has left is unbearable. I just hope at the end he knew that I loved…"
Ziggy was a character. We met 16 years ago right after I graduated from high school. I went to the local shelter to adopt a kitten that would be my first pet to have on my own. The kittens weren't ready so my sister and I walked around to see the kitties. I opened his cage and turned to talk to my sister. He leaped out and hung from the back of my shirt. He… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Thank you Dr. Tay and Kathryn for your compassion and for letting us say good-bye to Lucky the way we intended...at home, on his bed, with his family. There is a void in our hearts and…"
Lucky (aka Our Doofy) was adopted from Ionia Animal Shelter. We met Lucky after a couple dogs and fell for him immediately. We believe he truly appreciated being brought into a loving home and being treated as a family member. He let the kids do whatever with him. He was always physically close to us...had to follow us into any part of the house. He came out to the dog run and watched us as… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Dr. Brush and Mary in the office, were kind, understanding, and compassionate. Their guidance and help during a difficult time were very much appreciated."
My dog, Delilah, was 17 years old. She had a bright and loving Spirit, but her body was old and giving out on her. We had to make the decision to let her go. She was a Corgi/Sheltie mix. She was, without a doubt, the sweetest dog EVER. I found this quote in a book by Dr. Charlene M. Proctor. It has helped me; maybe it will help someone else: "My Pet knows that I… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"We will miss Brody and all the love he has given throughout his life. We hope to see you once again when we can all run free in heaven together. We love you Brody."
We adopted Brody from the Humane Society of West Olive in Michigan around nine years ago. We did a meet and greet with him in one of the Humane Society’s private offices after finding him online. They let him into the room and immediately he started running around, peeing on everything and trying to get away. It wasn’t until I had my wife leave the room, to go get another dog we were interested in,… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Thank you for the incredible service you provide. There is nothing worse than that fateful drive to the veterinarian knowing you are putting your pet down, and the lonely drive home. We will be calling you…"
We adopted Tripp in March of 2016. He was around 14 at the time, had poor vision and poor hearing and the vet diagnosed him with dementia. I am a sucker for Jack Russell terriers and even though we had never dealt with a special needs pet before, we couldn't say no to his cute face. We said at the time that whether Tripp lived 3 months or 3 years, it would be the best… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Dr. Amy, who came to the house, could not have been better with Major and also with me. It was a horrible decision to have to make as I loved him so, but I know it…"
Major was adopted by me at a no-kill facility in Muskegon. He was only 5 then and we enjoyed him for 8 short years. God sent him to me and I miss him so very much and see him everywhere. He had a good life here and especially loved our daily walks in the woods, as I did. P.S. he was a border collie/lab mix, 85 lbs. Read The Rest of This Memorial

"I could not have asked for a better and more peaceful end for him. Amy was great - very gentle and reassuring. She helped make a very difficult decision easy to make. Thank you everyone for…"
Aries became my dog after my son died unexpectedly - he only had him 3 weeks. I was a little unsure about keeping him, but he really helped me after Chris died. If he saw I was feeling down, he would bring a toy and want me to play with him. For the next 8 and a half years he was a great companion. Even after his health began to fail due to cancer, he… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Thank you so much for helping us with this transition. Being able to have Harley home, comfy in his bed for his last moments was priceless. Your comforting words and gestures helped so much, Dr. Tay."
Our pup, Harley, had surgery on November 12 to remove a blockage in his intestines. We didn't know what the problem was at the time, he was refusing all food and we had to force water into him. The surgery revealed a malignant tumor that was causing a blockage in his intestines. No wonder he had lost 15 pounds over the course of a month! The veterinarian was able to remove the worst of it… Read The Rest of This Memorial
