In Memoriam: Cali

By Michele published on September 23rd, 2025
"Dr Richelle Smith was absolutely awesome! She created an experience for us that was warm and heartfelt. She was right there with us as we said goodbye to Cali and said "she was definitely loved." I…"
We welcomed Cali into our home in May of 2013. Of the litter I picked you out because of the unique outline of your nose. That uniqueness went beyond into your attachment to us and us to you! A kitty who became our best friend. Always ready for us to come home and tuck us into bed. We shared lots of laughs and tears over the last 12 years. You are no longer in pain.… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Stella

By Crystal & Naz published on September 15th, 2025
"Thank you."
Stella was a shelter kitten when we adopted her in 2011. She picked us that day and she's held us together ever since. She was always calm and intelligent and affectionate. She will be greatly missed. Read The Rest of This Memorial


In Memoriam: Banner

By Allison D’Agostino published on September 11th, 2025
"The most amazing, calm, respectful, caring way to say goodbye to our little buddy. One of the toughest days ever but we all feel good about how we went about it. Such an amazing service you…"
Banner We’ve been attached since day one of you being dropped off to me in 2010. You didn’t have the greatest start to life but you ended with a pretty amazing one. You’ve lived with me in countless apartments in Chicago, moved all the way to Austin TX, traveled for the better part of a year in an RV all over the country, and turned into a MI farm dog. You’ve dipped your paws in… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Gypsy Rogers

By Andrew Rogers published on September 10th, 2025
"We are so glad Heaven at Home exists. Taking your special friend to die in an office is not what we wanted for her. We wanted her to pass at home with her family around her,…"
We adopted Gypsy as a rescue; she was a very special dog. She loved to go for walks; Alicia & I would ask her if she wanted to go to the park and she would get all excited, tail wagging, dancing all around and ready to go, got in the car and she would look out the window and pacing back and forth in the back seat. When we got there, she would jump out… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Harriet

By Maureen Dodd published on August 21st, 2025
"Thank you, she was my everything and you made our good bye as special as it could be."
I loved Harriet since the minute she was born. The pup of an outside Collie on a chain. My daughter Julia and I rescued the mom and puppies - I kept putting Harriet in the dead pile and Julia would yell she’s alive. I kept the two surviving puppies despite choosing them instead of my marriage. I knew my husband could survive without me, but not these huge dogs. Maude died before she was ten,… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Luna Holloway

By Jordan Holloway published on July 28th, 2025
"You all are beyond amazing."
I rescued Luna at 6 weeks old, much too young to be away from her mother. So, her mother I became. I was 22 when I brought her home. I remember carrying her in my pocket. My parents not so thrilled, as I was home from college. She became everything you want a dog to be. We spent 9 fun-filled years with my Luna. She helped me move, welcomed two children, more animals. My absolute… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Roxy and Gypsy

By Judith published on July 28th, 2025
"I can't remember the driveway who came out. But she was so sweet and sensitive to roxys end ofnlife and to the fact we had already lost gypsy that morning. I never pictured a life without…"
The bestest puppies a young family could've ever asked for. Roxy lived to be 11 years old. Gypsy lived to be 10 years old. We got Roxy at 12 weeks and Gypsy when she was 5 weeks (Roxy was less than a year old). These two grew up as sisters and close bonded. Always with each other. Eating each other's food, to laying on each other. To following each other's ques to do the adventurous… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Butterscotch

By The Ryan Family (Dave, Jodi, Ben & Baylee) published on July 11th, 2025
"Dr. Amy was truly amazing. She was so patient, kind and compassionate. She not only made sure Scotchie was comfortable, but us, too. She explained everything to us and made this process so much easier. You…"
Our family welcomed Butterscotch and his sister, Princess, into our home as kittens after their mom had sadly passed away. Butterscotch was named by Ben...he had the name picked out before he even saw him, but it fit him well, as he was a beautiful orange and white boy. Butterscotch was a bit more outgoing than his sister, but he was always there to help her adjust to their new life. He enjoyed cuddling on… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Ace

By Tami Sims published on July 8th, 2025
"I can not thank Mary and Dr. Katie enough for all they did for us during this tremendously difficult time. I spoke to Mary a couple times on the phone and her calm, compassionate voice was…"
Ace was our everything for 10 short years. Calm and cautious, until someone knocked at the door and then he was in full bark, tail wagging mode. He loved greeting people, strangers and family alike. He enjoyed car rides and our trips to PA, treats, his orange ball (which was the only toy in 10 years that he didn't destroy), being near the grandkids, eating ice cubes (from your glass), having his back scratched and… Read The Rest of This Memorial
