In Memoriam: Belle

By Jen Rushlo published on October 25th, 2022
"When Belle was diagnosed with kidney disease two years ago at the age of 20, I had no idea what to expect. Our vet said the experience could vary greatly based on the cat. I called…"
Belle lived an amazing 22 years and saw me through so many ups and downs in life including getting married and the loss of my Mom. My Dad and I saw her and her brother get thrown from a car window back when I was in high school and immediately stopped to get them. Her brother, Ollie, passed away about six years ago. When I first had her as a small kitten, I never imagined… Read The Rest of This Memorial

Our beloved Juniper left this world to cross the Rainbow Bridge on September 25, 2022. She was an adorable and precious little rescue dog who lived her life with enthusiasm and joy despite many health challenges she faced during her 14 years. The love she had for her family was boundless. Wherever we were was where she wanted to be. She loved playing with her toys, laying by the fire, getting her fur blown by… Read The Rest of This Memorial

By Tami & Tony Williams published on October 20th, 2022

Jerzy was a 6 lb Yorkie with the sweetest, most outgoing personality. He was the best lap dog (he Loved to snuggle) and he LOVED people. We were blessed to have our fur baby for 16 years. He was the best little guy and was my World! He smiled and jumped into my bag when he wanted to go bye-bye. <3 Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Blessing

By Dani Goen published on September 15th, 2022
"Dr Tillman was kind and gentle and made the experience of helping Blessing cross the rainbow bridge bearable."
Blessing chose our family 14-1/2 years ago. She was a spunky Aussie with tons of energy. In her last weeks she slowed way down but her eyes still held the love she had for us. Blessing was my hiking and walking buddy and loved car rides. She was a furry baby who we loved with our whole hearts! Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Bob

By Meghan Piersma published on August 31st, 2022
"Doctors Hoss & Hamm made Bob's last few moments on earth very comfortable. We'll always be grateful for their gentle care of our sweet boy."
Bob came into my life when I was living alone and quickly became a sure companion. He was a stray that a neighbor had taken to c-snip and kept talking about how great this male cat was and that, even though I had allergies, I should at least try taking him in. I never looked back. He made 2 big moves with me cross-country, not to mention multiple apartments and homes. He became quick buddies… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Naomi

By Ben & Amanda published on August 22nd, 2022
"We couldn't have asked for anything better. Heaven at home made this entire process a little easier."
We rescued Naomi when she was 8 years old. We knew we wouldn't have her for very long with her already being older but we wanted to give her the best retirement home possible. We were able to give her another 5 years of a treat filled life. It took her a few months to trust us and open up. She bloomed into this gorgeous doof. She was so gentle and patient. She loved us… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Nausicca

By Andrea Hockey published on August 2nd, 2022
"I honestly don't remember who I spoke with during that initial phone call. I was pretty distraught and that day is a bit blurry. But I know they were kind and gently led me through the…"
We rescued Naussica as a puppy and our family immediately fell in love with her. I was scared to adopt another dog because a few years prior I had to say good bye to my 13 year old shepherd mix and it was one of the hardest days of my life. But once Naussica was home, I knew the love we would share would fill my heart again. And of course, she ended up rescuing… Read The Rest of This Memorial

Bolo was rescued when he was 1.5 years old and gave us 14 years of happiness! He was so spunky, stubborn, protective, and cuddly. His favorite things were to go for walks and lay in the sun. He brought us pure joy! Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: McTavish

By Alexandra Dantuma published on July 11th, 2022
"Everyone connected with “Heaven at Home” is caring, thoughtful, Competent, and will help you traverse this sad pathway."
McTavish was our first Scottish Terrier. He was a birthday gift from my husband. Love at first sight is an understatement…he totally melted my heart. Full of spunk and spirit. Loved life, people, rolling in the grass, and fighting with the vacuum, and sprinkler. He added so much joy to our lives. He loved it when we would bring him up to Charlevoix...loved the beach and chasing seagulls. He was tremendously obedient and faithful. I… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Pudge

By Julie Endres published on July 11th, 2022
"I can not say enough good things about Heaven at Home. Both Mary & Catherine were so compassionate on the phone and amazingly understood what I was saying even though I was crying hysterically. Dr. Barnes…"
We rescued Pudge as a puppy and he lived an amazing 15+ years with such a loving heart. He grew up with my own two children and was truly my third child. He loved his walks everyday, even in the winter. As he aged, they became strolls but he was always excited to walk the neighborhood, parks and trails and greet dogs and people alike. He was deeply loved and will be missed everyday. Read The Rest of This Memorial
