"After attending Paws to Remember support group, I realized just how important these groups are. Losing a beloved pet can feel very lonely, and there was something incredibly comforting about being in a room with people who truly understood that kind of loss. This group gives people a place to talk about their pets without feeling like they have to explain why they are grieving so deeply." - Lisa Smith

"Losing a beloved companion animal is heartbreaking, and finding the right support can be truly difficult. I'm deeply grateful to Woods Humane Society for launching their Pet Loss Grief Support Group. Our community has needed a space like this for a long time. It’s a safe, compassionate, and welcoming place to process grief, and it has made a world of difference in my healing." - Julie F.
