Tonight’s Walking Club is dedicated to our dear friend and devoted member, Rosalee (Rosie) Wilmot. Please come out to celebrate Rosie tonight with a special walk, and (if you wish) help us make a monetary donation in her name to Animal Care Alliance. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rosie’s loved ones during this difficult time!

Walking Club begins at 7pm at the Glen Miller Park Golf Course! There is still plenty of time to register, make new friends, and get those steps in! 👣

Please keep Snowy’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Snowy was not just a cat—he was family. A quiet guardian, a wise old soul, and the heart of our home. For nearly two decades, he gave his family unconditional love, comforting purrs, and the softest presence imaginable. He passed peacefully, surrounded by the people and furry companions who adored him.

He will be deeply missed, but forever carried in the hearts of his family.

Rest easy, Snowy 🐾🌈❤️

It's strange, isn't it? Nobody really talks about pets getting old. Nobody talks about the heartbreak of losing a furry friend. It just feels like something you're supposed to grieve on your own, in silence, while your world is quietly falling apart.

Pets are such a huge, constant part of our lives. Every single day, they're just... there. And because they're our best friends, we don't always notice the little things changing. You spend every waking moment with them, so it's easy to miss how their face is slowly turning grey, or how they're getting around just a tiny bit slower, or don't quite hear you like they used to. They start to slow down, play less.

But then you look back, and it hits you. You remember how young they used to look, and suddenly those changes are glaring. The time we get with them is so incredibly short compared to our own lives. But the impact they make? That's immeasurable.

I'm writing all this to tell you: love your dogs, your cats, or whatever pets you have, with everything you've got. Because life with them is just too short.
This year, I've had Hazel for 11 years. She's my best friend, my loyal companion. She's been with me through my entire adult life, seen me at my best, seen me at my worst. There were times I couldn't always afford the fancy dog food, the delicious treats, or even every routine vet visit. But we made it work, and she's been by my side, every single day. She's traveled to so many places, and seriously, everyone who knows me knows about Hazel. I've definitely missed out on some things because traveling with pets can be tough, but they're a commitment, you know? She's my girl, my best friend, my sweet soul mutt.

And as she gets older, I can't help but cherish every single moment with her a little bit more. I wish she'd live forever, but I know that's not reality. I know there will come a day when I have to say goodbye, and I hope it's many, many years from now. But a piece of my heart will absolutely be gone the day that happens.

So please, hug your pets tight. Take them on that extra walk. Bring them on vacation if you can. Let them be comfortable on the couch. Give them all the snacks. Let them truly enjoy every single part of their life. Include them in your family pictures. Because the day they aren't with you anymore, you will wish that you had done all of that and more. 🐾

Please keep Beaslee's family in your thoughts and prayers.

Beaslee, a beloved beagle/chihuahua mix, crossed the rainbow bridge after a long and beautiful 14 years. He'd been with his family since he was just 6 months old and was a true friend and companion, leaving the biggest pawprints on their hearts. We know how deeply he will be missed.

Rest easy, Beaslee 🌈🐾♥️

Hello, pet-loving friends! 🐾

We've been "cooking up" something special here at The Heavenly Hound, getting ready for the big pet walk next weekend! Our paws have been busy crafting exciting new pet-themed designs just for you.

Here's a sneak peek of what we'll have available at the event! 💕

The Heavenly Hound is so proud to sponsor HELP the Animals, Inc. for their annual pet walk event! Just two months before our grand opening last year, we came to this very event to meet the community and spread the word about our business. This year, we're proud to say we've already served nearly 400 families in our community.

We know that seeing us might bring a touch of sadness, but we truly hope you'll stop by our tent to say hello. We'd love the chance to meet your furry friends in life, as that's an opportunity we often don't get. We cherish being there for families during one of the saddest moments, and we hope to continue meeting more of the community.

While most don't want to think about planning for their pet's aftercare, please know that we'll always be here to lend a paw when you need us.

Please keep Vader and Pearl's families in your thoughts and prayers.

Vader, a loving bulldog, unexpectedly crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a sweet boy loved more than words can say and leaves behind a Vader-sized hole in the hearts of his family.

Pearl, the sweetest chihuahua, may have been small in size, but she made a huge impact on the lives of her family. She was more than a dog; she was a friend and a companion, and she'll be missed more than words can ever say. Even though she was tiny, she leaves behind the biggest pawprints on their hearts.

Rest easy, Vader & Pearl 🐾🌈♥️

Hello from Sunny!☀️

I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who shared my story and cared about me during my 11-day adventure! I'm now back to my regular duties of helping out at The Heavenly Hound and have been working hard around the office.

Just a friendly reminder, while I'm a dedicated member of the team, I'm not quite equipped to answer phones, emails, or inquiries. My main role is providing emotional support for my humans and the families who visit us.

With that in mind, please be patient with my bosses next week (July 14-18) as we'll have limited availability. Also, any pets who come into our care during that week will experience a slight delay in getting back home to you. This is because one of my bosses handles all keepsakes, and she'll be away on a work trip. She'll get them all done as soon as she returns!

We promise your beloved pets will be safe and well-cared for in our hands (or paws) 🐾

- Sunny
