Odin was such a loved, handsome boy. We were able to return his hip implants to his family with his ashes. Aquamation is such a gentle process, that surgical hardware is able to be recovered and returned to the pet family. 💙

Last week, this beautiful song came on shortly after I arrived at Chevy's house. Chevy was an adorable, sweet and goofy old German Shepherd. She was so full of joy and love despite having a body that was no longer able to support her in this world.

Sometimes we all need to be reminded of this simple but important message.

We ❤️ supporting our furiends at Kane's Krusade.

Our families tell us how thankful they are that a donation is made to honor their beloved pet. We are so happy it will be doubled. Thank you Kane’s for all you do 💜💙❤️🧡

We're doing zoomies!

Paws Finding Peace held a holiday pet food drive for Kane's. Thank you to all the staff and clients who donated items from our Wishlist. This food will especially help our small and elderly dogs.

But that's not all! Last year, Dr. Lauren Atkins began earmarking memorial donations in honor of clients for Kane's and today we received a $2,500 donation! This is such a generous and kind gesture! How wonderful to know that out of the loss of a beloved pet, a pet family will receive care they need to keep their dog.

And there's more! Thanks to a generous Foundation who wishes to remain anonymous, Kane's has a $25,000 match grant challenge underway! That means every donation will be doubled including this one from Paws Finding Peace!

We can't thank Dr. Atkins and her staff enough for their support throughout the years. Paws Finding Peace offers an important service to our community by providing in-home euthanasia and water-based cremation for pets. Thank you for all you do!

The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects DEA’s commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications fro...
