"Heaven at Home was beyond amazing with the gentle, professional care they provided during a heartbreaking time. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. The staff is truly amazing!"
Gorgeous George AKA “Georgie” was six weeks old when we got him. He was so spunky, vocal and knew no personal space. He loved to cuddle and gave the best high fives. He never did learn to ride a skateboard but we loved him regardless. He was a great companion and protector and could make anyone laugh with his silly quirks. He loved his little human Sister and Brother and adjusted so well at being… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"This was an extremely hard day for me, my husband, and Banjo, her big brother, who is 13 years old. The doctor was kind, soft spoken and informed us with each step of this process. She…"
We got Josie at 8 weeks old. She was a joy...sassy, always beside us. Would smile all the time and was a tattletale when her Big Brother Banjo would do something (like take food off the counter). You could teach her something one time and thats all it took. She would moan when you would rub her ears, neck legs. :). best sound ever!! One of the best things about her was ...she would look… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Dr. Richelle Smith was so amazing the moment we met her. Wooky’s tail wagged from the moment he met her til his last breath. She truly made this painful experience as good as can be for…"
Wooky lived a life filled with love. He loved people and attention so much. He was a good comfort dog whenever needed. He was the warm welcome when coming home from a long day, always by my side no matter what. He loved car rides and going swimming too! He almost made it to his 13th birthday. So I believe he is having quite the celebration today. His presence will be forever missed. Until we… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Heaven at home made it so I wasn’t alone in making the hardest decision of my life. They validated, explained, and allowed me time. There was never any judgement and only love shown by the team."
I was not lucky enough to have kids so Dakota was my child. I had him since 8 weeks old. He was the definition of a momma's boy. He had separation anxiety as a puppy and felt best when snuggling. He was opposite in almost everything, he loved to go places but hated car rides, he loved boat rides but hated water, he loved dog parks but loved cats and tolerated other doggos. For a… Read The Rest of This Memorial
"I cannot thank Heaven at Home enough for helping me ensure my sweetest, goodest boy had the most peaceful end. A quiet end, a painless end. Surrounded by the people and dogs who love and cherish…"
Oakley and I met at the young age of 7 weeks and 17. He was my reason to continue on. He gave each day meaning. When he was 5 months old, he was kicked in the head by a horse... he pulled through. By 2 years old, he had ripped apart a bedroom door, broken a window, ripped up carpet, killed pairs of shoes... my sweet, complicated boy. His biggest fears were confinement and being… Read The Rest of This Memorial

"Heaven at Home made this experience as pain free as possible for all of us."
Blurr and Spirit spent over fifteen and one half years together, being first of all wonderful family pets, but also competing in dock diving and disc dogs. They performed at fairs and other events as part of Classic Canines and the Disc Dogs of MI group. Blurr’s special job was picking up all the empty dog dishes and putting them on the kitchen counter for me…he will be remembered every time I see the dents… Read The Rest of This Memorial
"Dr Kim was literally heaven sent. Dr Kim made the whole process as peaceful as possible and reassured not only us but Kora as well. Having Kora be able to be at home and at peace…"
Kora was the dog that was always there when you needed her the most. She touched the lives of all those she met and left lasting impressions. The pups she brought into the world still share her spirit and heart. When I had my miscarriages, she was always by my side and that continued on when we welcomed our rainbow baby. She was always so gentle and caring. My soul dog through and through. When… Read The Rest of This Memorial
