In loving memory of Makita♥️

A cherished soul gone too soon, Makita was an integral part of her family, bringing joy and love to every moment together. Makita had a taste for the finer things, especially McDonald’s cheeseburgers, and her happiest times were spent by the side of those who adored her.
Rest peacefully, sweet girl. You will be deeply missed. ♥️🐾 🌈
Makita’s deeply devoted family left the following heartfelt tribute in her honour:

“It is with a heavy heart that I share the loss of our beloved dog, Makita, who was with us for 9 wonderful years. Makita had a slight limit for the past 8 months which turned out to be bone Cancer. We found out before Christmas and gave Makita an extra special Christmas knowing that would be her last. Words can’t capture the depth of love and joy she brought into our lives. From the playful wag of the tail to the quiet moments of companionship, every day was made brighter by her presence. Makita was more than a pet — She was family.
Saying goodbye is never easy, but we will always cherish the memories, the unconditional love, and the paw prints left on our heart. Thank you, Makita, for being the best friend we could ever ask for. You will forever be missed and loved. 💔🐾

In Loving Memory of Dakota ♥️😻

Darling Dakota brought so much joy and love to her family for an incredible 18 years. Known for her endless chatter and lively nighttime antics, she always made her presence known, with the quiet hours being her time to shine. 🌟
Rest peacefully, sweet Dakota.♥️🐾 🌈

Her devoted family shared this beautiful tribute:

“Dakota was with us for 18 wonderful years. We will miss her craziness, her talking, and her cuddles. She was very vocal and had the zoomies at night to make sure we were awake. She wouldn’t miss one occasion to watch us from her cat tree. Now we know she will keep watching over us from where she is.” ♥️🐾♥️

In loving memory of precious Sadie♥️

Sweet Sadie was the heart of every moment - always in the center of the action, sharing in the laughter, love, and life of her devoted family. A loyal companion through life’s milestones, quiet moments, and treasured days, Sadie brought joy and light wherever she went. Her absence leaves an ache, but the countless memories of her love will be held close forever.
Rest peacefully, dear Sadie. ♥️🐾

In her family’s loving words:
“Our beautiful Sadie was a constant and loyal companion to all of us, and we loved her so very much. We will miss her every day and cherish the beautiful memories that we shared together.”

In loving memory of Kasey💔

There are no words more powerful than those shared by Kasey’s dad below. The extraordinary bond between Kasey and his human deeply moved us all. Kasey was far more than a companion; he was his dad’s rescuer, his solace, and his guiding light—a love so profound it transformed both of their lives forever. We are so honoured to have witnessed this treasured bond.

Rest peacefully, sweet boy. ♥️🐾🌈

“My boy,
My life,
Thanks for rescuing me.”

In Loving Memory of Pandora ♥️🐾

Pandora was truly one of a kind, bringing endless joy to her family. She treasured life’s simple pleasures—sunbathing, cuddling, and simply being by her loved ones’ side🥰. Her absence leaves a profound void, but her memory will be deeply cherished and forever honoured. 🐾♥️
Her deeply devoted family has shared the following heartfelt tribute in Pandora’s honour:

“Pandora loved swimming, treats, sun bathing and cuddling. She was a very special dog, we had the honour growing old with her. She is and will be missed deeply.” ♥️🐾🌈

In loving memory of sweet, sweet Kea♥️

With her playful heart and love of adventure, Kea raced up mountains, leapt off docks, and charmed all who knew her with her sweet, spirited soul. At home, her piglet snorts and delight in Easter “egg” treasure hunts filled the house with warmth and comfort. Kea was more than a dog—she was a cherished companion, a loyal adventurer, and a constant source of happiness. She will be deeply missed but forever celebrated.
Her deeply devoted and loving parents left the following heartfelt tribute in her honour:

“With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beloved dog, Kea (April 21, 2010 – December 31, 2024).
Kea was a comical source of joy and love from the very first moment we met her. As a puppy, she was the obedience class clown, always entertaining and getting into mischief. As she grew, she somehow became sweeter and sweeter every day. When we thought there was no way she could get any sweeter, she somehow could, and she did. ♥️
Kea had a passion for adventure and a playful energy. She loved swimming, fetching sticks from the water, jumping off docks, and would race to the top of any mountain we hiked wondering what was taking her parents so long to catch up.
Kea made friends wherever she went. She particularly won the hearts of a few special neighbours. One of Kea’s most treasured activities was trick-or-treating (multiple times per day) at our neighbors’ gates.
Her exuberant spirit filled our home with laughter and love, and we miss her dearly.”

In loving memory of sweet Molly ♥️

Dearest Molly remained a steadfast presence in her family’s life through the heartbreak of loss, the milestones of growing up, and the changes that time inevitably brings. Despite the transitions, Molly remained an unwavering source of unconditional love and comfort. Fiercely loyal and always in the heart of the action, Molly’s love for her family was unmatched - and so was their love for her🥰. Though wary of strangers, it was only because her WHOLE heart belonged to her tribe♥️. Molly’s legacy is one of devotion, resilience, and the profound bond of family. She will be deeply missed but forever cherished.
Rest peacefully, angel ♥️ 🐾 🌈

In loving memory of Kastro 😻

Sweet Kastro was known for his endless love of pets and his charming habit of climbing onto anyone who would let him. A true connoisseur of affection, his distinct and lovable personality left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Rest easy, dear Kastro. ❤️ 🐾 🌈
Some heartfelt words from Kastro’s devoted mom are included below:

“He was the sweetest little man out there. He had such a distinct, lovable personality. He will be missed❤️”

In loving memory of cherished Molly♥️

From her adventurous spirit—summiting mountains, flying in planes, and diving into lakes—to her modeling career and cherished cuddles, Molly lived a life as vibrant and full as her loving heart. She touched so many lives, both near and far, leaving pawprints on hearts everywhere. ✈️ ⛰️ ♥️🐾
Our thoughts are with her deeply loving and devoted family during this tender time. Rest gently, sweet Molly.♥️🐾🌈
Molly’s adoring family left the following tribute below:

“Our darling girl Molly passed away peacefully just shy of her 14th birthday, surrounded by her loved ones with the breeze in her face and the grass under her paws on our family farm. Molly was our “foster fail” who came into our lives when she was about a year old, and from the moment she arrived we knew she was never leaving. Molly was beloved by her family, as well as many who had never met her, but knew her through her Instagram . Molly did numerous modelling contacts over the years, and her face can be found in print catalogues and on the sides of pet stores. Molly loved hiking and camping, taking flying leaps into the water, road trips, rolling in the snow and grass, Easter egg hunts, chasing the side-by-side on the farm, crunchy treats, and cuddles in bed in the morning. Molly summited mountains, flew in a plane, participated in multi day backpacking trips, canoeing, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, dock diving and even tried her paw at sheep herding. She was passionate about howling along to Lorde and growling at Kung fu movies. Molly is deeply missed by her mom & dad, grandpawrents & best dog friend Remy. We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful soul in our lives. “

In loving memory of queen Charlotte♥️

Charlotte was the queen of independence, always doing things her way and on her terms 👑. She wasn’t one for cuddles, but if she leaned into you, you were one of the lucky, chosen ones — and you knew just how special that was♥️. Her love was rare and meaningful, and that’s what made her so unforgettable. Rest easy, Queen Charlotte—you’ll be missed more than words can say. 🌈🐾♥️
Her devoted mom shared this heartfelt tribute in Charlotte’s honour♥️😓

“My Sweet Charlotte, left us earthside on December 19 2024.
For the nine wonderful years I had with her, she brought unquantifiable joy, and unconditional love into my life.

She was the perfect example of a classic cat, Independent but loving, proper yet playful, respectful yet curious. Never one to be picked up she would contently sit by your side, leaning against you, sharing her warmth.

She ventured home with me to the Yukon through my years at university, lounged in her favourite corner at my parents house in the sun in Victoria, and loved sitting at the window in my Condo, watching the goings on beyond the glass. These places will never feel quite the same without her quiet presence, or her polite meow letting us know her food bowl might be empty. She had the softest fur, and if you were lucky, she would lean on your outstretched arm, nestling herself into you and providing rare kisses on your hand. In the weeks before she died, she must have known her time was coming to an end, as she slept like this with me for many days straight. I’m grateful for the memory of this, now that she has moved on.

She will be greatly missed by many people, including her cat sister Luna, who Charlotte tolerated with the utmost of patience.”

In loving memory of sweet Oscar♥️

Not just a pet, Oscar was a deeply loved and cherished member of the family. His unconditional love and enduring presence will never be forgotten. 🌈🐾♥️
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Oscar’s loving and devoted family.

The love of a dog is a bond that lasts forever. ♥️♥️♥️

In loving memory of dear Sasa☀️👑

Sasa was a remarkable companion who brought 14 years of love and light✨. With his independent, regal spirit and a love for soaking up the sun, Sasa could often be found lounging on his sun filled throne☀️ A source of endless joy and cherished memories, he leaves behind a legacy of adventure and deep friendship. May you rest peacefully, Sasa, basking in eternal sunlight. ♥️☀️
His loving and devoted mom left the following heartfelt tribute in his honour:

“Sasa blessed my life with his majestic presence for 14 wonderful years. While his independent spirit made him a unique companion, he was spoiled by the love and affection he received. A true sun worshipper, he could often be found basking in his basket or sprawled out on his own patch of grass. He was the master our hide-and-seek games.
Our adventures (and sometimes misadventures), only strengthened our bond. Sasa was much more than a pet; he was a dear friend and a source of endless joy. I take comfort in knowing he’s basking in the sun’s rays somewhere beyond the rainbow. 🌈”

🎉 One Year of Resting Paws 🐾

Last week, we celebrated one year since we opened our hearts and doors to the Victoria community! Over the past 12 months, we’ve had the honour of supporting well over 500 beloved pets and their families, offering comfort, peace, and compassionate care in the comfort of home.🏡🐾🌈

This work has been a true honour and privilege—filled with tender, unforgettable moments that remind us every day why we do what we do.♥️ From beachside goodbyes to quiet backyard farewells, we’ve witnessed the deep, unbreakable bond between pets and their people.🐾 🥰

Through our Farewell My Friend Fund, we’ve also been able to help multiple pets every month by providing the gift of a peaceful passing at home for families who have experienced financial difficulty. We are deeply moved by the stories behind each of these moments and are grateful to be able to support our community in this way.

We are endlessly thankful to this cherished community for trusting us during such vulnerable times and significant, meaningful moments.

Watching our team grow significantly and supporting families together has been a gift we don’t take for granted.🙏

To everyone who has been part of this journey, THANK YOU. It is an honor to do this work, and we look forward to many more years of serving you with open hearts and compassionate care♥️🐾🌈

With heartfelt appreciation,
Dr. Vanessa and the entire Resting Paws Team♥️

In Loving Memory of Lily ♥️

Lily, the golden retriever with a heart as golden as her fur, was truly one of a kind🐾 Known far and wide as a local celebrity, she brought smiles to our community with her extraordinary talent for helping her family carry groceries home—a skill that even earned her a feature on TV🌟

Beyond her fame, Lily was the epitome of love and loyalty. Rest easy, sweet Lily. Your pawprints are forever etched in our hearts♥️. Her deeply devoted family left the following heartfelt words in her memory:

“We were so lucky to have Lily in our lives for the past 11 and a half years and anyone who knows us knows what an irreplaceable part of our family she was. She wasn’t just a dog; she was a constant source of love and joy who touched our lives in ways we never thought possible. Everyone who met her instantly fell for her soft, sensitive soul.♥️

From the moment we brought her home, she fit into our family perfectly, as though she was always meant to be with us. She had a calm, easygoing nature and was happy doing anything, as long as she was by our side—whether it was a walk, a hike, watching TV, or just napping. She always went with the flow.

Lily was incredibly smart, too. In her later years, she decided that carrying groceries was her special job, and she even made it onto CTV Vancouver Island News for her talents. She was truly one of a kind. 🌟

She had the best life and was loved beyond measure. Her absence will be felt deeply in so many little ways, like looking up to see her in the kitchen hoping for a treat, finding her at our feet while watching tv, or being greeted at the door by her happy wiggle and favorite toy.

Her memory will be everywhere, and the boundless joy and love she gave us will forever live in our hearts. We’ll miss her immensely and grieve her loss for a long time.

But we take comfort in knowing she is running free now, playing with all the dogs that came before her, chasing tennis balls, and bounding through endless ocean waves. (And eating all the pup cups she could ever hope for!)

Rest easy, sweet Lily.”🌈🐾

In loving memory of handsome Orange🧡

Sweet Mr. Orange was a ray of sunshine, happiest when basking in sunbeams or exploring the great outdoors ☀️. His love for catnip was a delight to behold. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered 🧡🐾
His loving and devoted family left the following heartfelt tribute in his honour:

“Orange was our big, gentle boy who loved nothing better than backyard sunspots, a hit of driveway catnip, and chin rubs. You are so missed, my well-loved friend. Thanks so much to everyone at Resting Paws for seeing him so gently on his way.” 🧡🌈🐾
