In Memoriam: Winifred

By Marisa Malone published on July 1st, 2024
"My babygirl was able to pass on peacefully in my arms and for that I am forever grateful."
AKA Winnie, Weeno, Beanofred, Beans. In September 2018, my husband Jon saw a dog on the Kent County Animal Shelter website and immediately sent me the link. We had been wanting to get our first dog, Charlie (sheltie mix), his own companion. We wanted to get a dog for our dog. Winnie's picture immediately charmed both of us, and he went down that day and waited for four hours, on a work day, just to… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Molly

By Oli published on June 24th, 2024
"If I had to go through seeing my best friend go out, this is the way I would choose every single time. I cannot imagine NOT having gone this route- the person who came was petting…"
Molly. Aka Molly girl, Molly-tamale, pupper-shmup, muppy-shmup, and.. best girl. She was a 13 1/2 year old with the spunk and sass of a one year old! She's a terrier, yorkie mutt mix- and 100% loving. She was from a scrappy part of town near my dad's work, and once she was home- we knew we were complete. Nothing can fill her spot in the house, it's quiet without her and cold without her snuggles.… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Auggie

By Chris Flores published on June 21st, 2024
"Dr. Tay came in and was very respectful and let our family know what each step of the process was and gave use ample time with Auggie. Could have not asked for a better experience on…"
Auggie was truly a gentle giant, his looks did not match his personality at all. We rescued him from a shelter where he spent almost 2 years of his life and from the moment we meet him he was part of the family. Auggie has 2 canine sisters and 2 human brothers. He loved play with kids and chasing wild animals (some time catching them). He was a wonderful companion and we are so happy… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Romeo

By Cassie Balfour published on June 21st, 2024
"We had a wonderful experience with Heaven at Home. It was such a relief to ensure that Romeo's last moments took place at home, surrounded by pillows, toys and snacks in his favorite part of the…"
A bilingual short king, Romeo answered commands (when he felt like it) in English and his mother’s native Spanish. Loving and dazzlingly handsome, Romeo nonetheless knew how to set boundaries with his many admirers. He loved ear scratches and belly rubs from his family, but touching his paws would result in a withering side eye and a dignified strut away. Never one to be hemmed in by offensive stereotypes, Romeo learned multiple new tricks in… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Wilford (Woo)

By Robin and Cecily Heaton published on June 19th, 2024
"What an amazing experience at such a difficult time. Dr. Tillman was loving, compassionate and so patient. She really helped us know and experience that we made the right decision at the right time. She allowed…"
Woo was the best yellow lab that loved nothing more than tennis balls, boat rides, and swimming in his lake. He loved to watch over the grandkids and make sure they were always happy and safe! Woo will forever be remembered by his entire family and we know he is surrounded by tennis balls, lots of kids and a big lake now without any pain! We love you, Woo and thank you for making our… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Madeleine

By Madeleine's family published on June 12th, 2024
"Dr. Kim Barnes gave Madeleine, and gave us, her family, the most peaceful and meaningful good-bye. Madeleine never felt a moment's stress or pain. Dr. Barnes listened to us, listened to what had bothered us in…"
Madeleine was part of our life for nearly 16 years. Upon arrival at our house, she let everyone know who was boss, including a four-year-old "older" brother. At 1.5 lbs, she pulled him around the living room by his tail. (Don't worry, she decided not to keep tormenting him.) She was friendly, playful, curious, happy. (And, as it happens, beautiful.) She loved meeting people. When kids came to the door at Halloween, she twirled around… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Maximus Decimus Meridius

By Nicole Kelley published on May 29th, 2024
"Heaven at Home is full of amazing people who have made this experience just a little easier. Very kind, caring and compassionate. I will forever the kindness and care that went into losing our best friend."
Max represented more than just a pet. More than even a companion. He was loyal, sensitive, protective, and above all, he was always there. Bruce went through tough times, but Max was always there. To greet him, or to cuddle, or to give those good howls. I will forever miss those howls. Bruce and Max were always together, through thick and thin. So when Bruce's family asked us to take Max, it warmed my heart… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Sgt. Pepper

By Jenna Perry published on May 16th, 2024
"Dr. Laurie Brush took our sad song and made it better. Sarge's passing was so peaceful and I will never forget Dr. Brush's kindness. I felt like I was handing my most precious fur baby to…"
Sgt Pepper was my fur-baby and brought endless joy to our family. He was larger than life at only 10 pounds. He lived life to the fullest and didn't slow down till 17 ; running, hiking, terrorizing neighborhood kids, and giving endless love until his final days. Sgt. Pepper taught me unconditional love and I am forever grateful to be his dog mom. He is missed by his mom, dad, his sister, grandparents, aunt/uncles, and… Read The Rest of This Memorial


In Memoriam: Zoey

By Amy published on April 1st, 2024
"I am thankful for Heaven at Home; her passing was so peaceful."
I had my sweet girl, Zoey, for 18 years. She was such a good dog and my absolute best friend. She was by my side through some of the toughest years of my life. I wish dogs lived forever; they truly love us unconditionally. I miss her more than words can express. I will always love you, Zoey and I will carry you in my heart forever.
