LILITH MARIE HOOGSTAD

June 23, 2012 – November 14, 2025

Lilith Marie Hoogstad – Yep, that’s me. My mommy got me as a graduation present. My grammy had to be talked into me coming there, but it took no time at all for her to love me and be glad I was there.
When I moved in, they already had another dog named Chompers. He was a cranky old man. He left when I was three. I missed him a little bit, but before he left, I got two sisters, Delores and Delilah. They were okay, but I was everyone’s favorite. Everyone loved me, especially mommy and grampy. One day mommy decided she wanted to learn something new, so she learned how to drive big trucks. She took me all over the country and it was fun because I love car rides and being with my mommy. Then one day mommy said let’s go home for good and do something else. Yippee, that was fine too because now I can see grampy and grammy all the time.
After moving back home, I got lots of belly and butt rubs from grampy. He also used to slip me treats when no one was looking. Mommy used to take me to the groomers to get my hair and nails done. I did not like it, but it made mommy happy. Mommy treated me like a princess. I got special clothes, toys, treats, beds and you should have seen the blingy collar I got to wear. It had my name and mommy’s phone number on it in case I got lost. That’s how I know mommy really loved me. I think pink looked good on me. So that is what I liked to wear.
I’m glad I had a mommy, grampy, and grammy. They spoiled me a lot from getting chicken nuggets from McDonalds, spaghetti from Grampy’s cooking and squeaky toys. I even had my own TV show. I would like to watch Scooby Doo. I know everyone loved me and I loved everyone, but my mommy was the one I loved the most.
I know I’m leaving too early, but its time for me to go see great grampy and even Chompers. I had a very good life and felt loved every day. Don’t be sad, I will see you again. Love, Lilith.
Shannon said Lilith was the best. She wasn’t a dog, she was family. She loved to play with squeaky toys, but she really loved her hedgehogs. She loved car rides, the flea market, chicken nuggets from McDonalds and her grampy’s spaghetti. She left too early and will be greatly missed.

In memory of Zara who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge November 11, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Robin and Josh Blenman and her doggie sister, Lexie. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

ZARA BLENMAN

June 20, 2012 – November 11, 2025

Zara was a Boxer and the most loved and loving good girl. Her favorite foods were pizza and ice cream. She loved cuddling in blankets. She yodeled when she wanted something. She loved the outdoors, fires and relaxing on the patio. She was the happiest sleeping with her mommy. She spent 13 and ½ years making Robin and Josh happy and they will miss her forever.

In memory of Kevin who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge November 7, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Stephanie Acierno and family and the Gale family. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

KEVIN ACIERNO

January 10, 2017 – November 7, 2025

Stephanie and her family first met Kevin at the Ashtabula County Animal Protective League, and his name was Cinnamon then. Kevin was introduced to his mom and his boy by a woman named Shawnna while discussing pets that had been loved and lost. When his mom knelt next to him, Kevin licked her neck and then pressed the top of his head into her as was his way of hugging. That was the moment that they knew he was for them. Kevin joined their family within a few days and was named Kevin by his kids after the bird from the movie Up.

Kevin was a sweet but noisy dog. He always had to announce his presence to the world whenever he went outside. When he was nervous, like on the 4th of July for example, he would carry his ESD (emotional support dinosaur) with him everywhere. Even when he ripped all the stuffing out of that purple and yellow brontosaurus, he still had to keep it. His favorite song was Just Dance by Lady Gaga. He loved to be out on the leash walking around the yard, playing hide and seek, and chasing his boy Max around the house. He was very good at finding someone if they tried to hide from him. He also loved kisses from his dog JoJo and visits to the vet. Everyone in the vet’s office loved him.

Kevin will be missed by all of them, especially his mom Stephanie, his grandma Cindy, his boy Max, his girl Sarah, his dog JoJo, and his cat Ares.

LILY CHARLTON

July 2017 – November 5, 2025

Lily Charlton was more than a family dog. She was a cherished companion whose playful spirit and funny faces brought endless joy to everyone around her. Her boundless energy and loving nature made everyday brighter, filling their home with laughter and warmth. Lily’s favorite toy was a rope, but she always ate through them.
Though she has passed, the memories of her joyful antics and the comfort of her presence remain deeply treasured. She will always hold a special place in her family’s hearts, and her spirit will continue to bring smiles whenever they remember her. The love Lily gave them was pure and true and she will be profoundly missed but never forgotten.

KEKO GILDERSLEEVE

October 2011 – October 29, 2025

Keko was a Jack Russell and he loved anything you could throw at him. His favorite toy was a ball. Keko lived a happy, spoiled life for 14 years. Even though he was the smallest of five dogs, he was the boss of the house. Keko’s family loved him and will forever miss him.

In memory of Oscar who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge October 28, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Heather Curtis and Aaron Enricco. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

OSCAR FRANCIS ENRICCO-CURTIS

September 10, 2014 – October 28, 2025

Oscar was a sweet, kind, loving chihuahua with a heart of gold. He was loyal, smart, adventurous, funny and one in a million. Oscar's personality stood out. He was full of life and brought so much joy to everyone that was lucky enough to meet him. He was a caring brother and protector to his sister Mazy and his mom Heather. He loved playing catch with his father Aaron. Oscar felt his dad was his live in play toy who was only here to play fetch, birdie or whatever Oscar wanted to play with at the moment. Oscar expected his dad to play 24/7. Oscar enjoyed going for walks and going to Eddie's Grill on Geneva-on-the-Lake. He also went to the vets just to visit his doctor on a regular basis and had been a healthy patient until late October of 2024.
Oscar’s health issues started with pancreatitis, Cushing disease, thyroid disease and then Heather and Aaron received the worst news they could ever imagine, a diagnosis of a brain tumor. Even with all these major health issues, Oscar had a strong will to fight, and he continued to try to beat the cards that he was dealt. He fought for a year and had many ups and downs, but he was strong for his family. It was finally his time to fly high in the sky. Oscar’s father and mother are just so happy to have had the privilege of being his parents. His life was too short, but it wouldn't have mattered how much time they were given, it would never have been enough. He had such a fun personality. He has brought them so much love and joy.

In memory of Toby who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge October 16, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Aaron and Cassi Wolfe. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

TOBY WOLFE
June 10, 2017 – October 16, 2025
Toby was Morkie and he loved to be outside – not matter the weather. He loved playing in the snow and sunbathing. Toby was a lover to everyone and thought every human or animal he met was a friend.
His favorite toy was a mini lamb chop. He loved to give kisses and be held like a baby. His favorite person was his dad, and he loved to snuggle in the recliner with his dad. Toby was always the loudest in the room. His favorite foods were chicken nuggets, French fries, and pup cups from Dairy Queen. He always made old man groans, hated baths and the smoke detector.
Toby will be missed by his family.

In memory of Rosko who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge October 17, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Jessie and Sara. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

ROSKO BRANER
February 2017 – October 17, 2025
Jessie and Sara got Rosko as a pup at 6 months old. After bringing Rosko home, they introduced him to his best friend, Kouper.
Rosko did not play with toys but loved to roll around in the yard doing the infamous “Rottie growl”. Once Rosko approved of you, he loved to bury his head in your lap and get all the love you would give him.
Rosko loved his family from his moms who he protected against everyone, his kids, his late Papa Shawn (who met him at the Rainbow Bridge for now), and both of his grammies. Grandma Patty got all the lovins and gave all the lovins to Rosko. You always knew when Grandma Patty came to the house, because Rosko was at the door grunting until she came in. In the days before Rosko went to the Rainbow Bridge, he went to his new Grammie Terri (for the first time) and gave her kisses as if he was saying you protect them now.
Rosko will be forever missed by all. You have touched everyone you met in a special way whether that was scaring them away or having them smile at your special shenanigans. Jessie and Sara say we will love you forever, until we meet again.

MAX MILLER

October 11, 2020 – October 13, 2025

Max Miller was a Great Dane and was adopted on December 29, 2020, at twelve weeks old. He was a great dog. He loved his family, the sunshine, and barking at anything that moved. He will be missed by many. His family is Mom, Dad, one human brother (Charles), one human sister (Shyene), one dog brother (Carrots) and one leopard gecko (Marshmallow), Grandma and Aunt Mo and many other family members.
He will be up in heaven with many K9 brother and sisters. Grandfather Papa.

In memory of Purrcilla who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge October 12, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Cadence Pauley and family. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

PURRCILLA BASTET PAULEY

Gotcha day October 30, 2017 - October 12, 2025

Eight years ago, Purrcilla literally wandered into her families lives having followed their dog home. She walked right in the door, made herself at home and stole their hearts. Purrcilla was certainly an addition to their family that they didn’t know they needed and became the absolute best friend a girl could ask for.
She may have been shy, skittish, and anti-social at times, but she loved her girl fiercely and was loved likewise in return. Purrcilla was a faithful companion and will be greatly missed by their whole family. Fur-ever in their hearts.

BLACK BEAUTY PESTELLO (UKC REG. A163,614)

August 16, 2012 – October 6, 2025

Black Beauty was an American Pitbull Terrier registered under United Kennel Club – 6 generation. and she was born on August 16, 2012, as the seventh of nine pups delivered by Meeka Lockwood, in Conneaut, Ohio. Black Beauty’s owner, Kaitlin helped Meeka deliver some the pups. Black Beauty being one of them. At the time Kaitlin was in the pit of drug addiction. Her push for sobriety came from Black Beauty. She wanted to give her a better life, and going to someone else was never an option. So Kaitlin did what she had to do. She sobered and went back for Black Beauty.
Black Beauty loved spending time with Kaitlin and her friends, going for car rides, to PetSmart, to parks or the beach. Malek Park being her favorite to run and train at. She also loved the water at the Conneaut sandbar. Kaitlin trained the dog diligently. So much so, that Black Beauty didn’t even realize her own breed’s strength and stature. She acted more like a baby than a dog. However, even still Kaitlin had a hard time finding a place to live where they would both be accepted. Giving up was never an option. From homeless nights to couch surfing, Black Beauty changed the hearts of so many. Anyone who met her completely changed their minds and hearts about Pitbull’s. With respect and boundaries, along with diligent and consistent training; one could become one of the most gentle and loving breeds.
After three years of survival, thanks to Barry Johnston (Brady & Shelby), as well as Fred & Missy Townsend for helping us. For the last 10 years of her life, she resided with Kaitlin’s son’s grandparents, Randi and Barry. Bonding deeply with their son, Shelby. While also having an active role with mama (Kaitlin), her husband and children. She loved going camping with them, licking peanut butter from spoons, and chasing possums. She had it made. She was and always will be so very much loved by so many and would even “nest” them. She never hurt anyone and loved to no end.
And finally, her chapter came to an end after over a decade of love. She knew nothing else. Her final days were spent in the quiet with family and lots of cuddles after a week of refusing food and losing all strength and over 20 lbs. On October 6, 2025, at approximately 2:45 p.m., surrounded by her mama (Kaitlin). Dad (Tony, Kaitlin’s husband), Shelby, and Grandma Rendi, she peacefully closed her eyes and crossed the Rainbow Bridge taking her final breath in their arms. Just as her mama promised her all those years ago. They took her to Malek Park and public docks one last time prior on such a beautiful day. What more could they ask for. Black Beauty was the beauty in the struggle and the light that brought people together.
