🍂🐾 Fall is here: cozy nights, crunchy leaves, and plenty of adventures with our pets. But did you know autumn also brings a few hidden hazards? Mushrooms, antifreeze, and even festive decorations can put curious pets at risk.

Snowball lived life on his own terms—moody when you left him, devoted when you were near. Every night was his night to cuddle, every morning his chance for extra love. He was the most loving cat his family will ever know.

From her parents who loved her:

"A favorite story about Molly is the time she stole a Crunchwrap and ate it so fast no one could stop her. That was Molly; silly, kind, and full of personality. She loved everyone she met, greeting even strangers with her signature high-pitched cry of excitement. She brought joy to every moment, and we will miss her forever. ❤️"

A warm welcome to all our new friends here at Hugs at Home. 🫶
In my early years as a veterinarian, I often left end-of-life visits wishing I could do more—wishing there was a way to honor the life and love each pet brought into this world. Families would tell me their stories, and I began to write them down, not knowing yet what they were meant to become.

Hugs grew out of that longing, born from a need to transmute the pain of grief into something beautiful—something that keeps the memory of our pets alive. Our vision is for this page to be a gathering place, a free space where anyone can pause, share, and remember their beloved angel pets together. 🕊️🐾

Thank you for being part of this community.

🏡 A peaceful farewell at home 🏡
When it’s time to say goodbye, Hugs at Home helps your pet find peace in the place they love most. Unlike traditional clinic visits, in-home euthanasia means:
🌈 Your pet can rest in their favorite sunny spot or cozy bed, stress-free.
🌈 You can share final moments surrounded by family, without the rush of a vet office.
🌈 A gentle, private experience for senior or ill pets who need extra care.
We’re honored to support you with compassion. DM us to learn how we can help. 💕

In the words of Missy, who loved and cared for Ben;

"Ben, or Be**er as he was known to our family, was there for the birth of my first grandchild. He was there through the birth of four more grandchildren. He saw me through some of the darkest nights of my life. There were many times when he laid beside me while I sobbed my heart out. He saw me through the happiest moments of my life too. I watched him run through the seasons. There was nothing he liked more than the wind blowing his fur and a good roll in the grass or snow. One of my best memories is of him at the lake jumping off the dock and fetching a ball. He loved the outdoors. The very best thing about Ben was his love for our family. He was a gentle, playful, calming, and reassuring presence in my life over the years when everything else changed and he will be greatly missed. It will be hard to do life without him. There is no doubt that Ben was a golden retriever. He had all the
best characteristics of one and he had a hart of gold. Love and miss him!"

"On Feb. 16th, 2025, our sweet Babygirl crossed the rainbow bridge🌈.. Our hearts are shattered, tears still falling, and forever missing our sunshine. Babygirl came bouncing into our lives at a time that we never thought we would be huge cat lovers. Our late grandparents were looking for a home for our sweet angel, and the rest is history. They say you don't choose them, but they choose you. This couldn't be more true with her. She was a one in a million, and I truly mean it. She loved with all of her. She was there during our hardest moments and triumphs. Our girl showed us patience, unconditional love, and everything in between. This loss is huge for our family, and we will forever miss her.

My favorite thing about my girl is how she would talk. Our friends and family couldn't believe it that she would talk. She would say hello, mama, and mom. Every morning, she woke me up by saying mama and meowing at me. She would even jump into bed to wake up if I was too slow. She was my little tail and would follow me everywhere. The house is a bit quiet now without her, but I swear I hear her little paws walking around and can hear her meowing mama.

Babygirl, you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away. Thank you for being the best girl in the world. Thank you for being by our sides and allowing us to love you until the very end. Cancer sucks!! Our hearts will never be the same without you. We will forever miss you. Run free now, our girl. Give Ralphie, Lazerath, Bear, and Stevie big hugs and kisses from us all. Thank you for allowing me to be your mommy..❤️

Huge thank you to Hugs at Home. Such a great service that gave us the dignity in our home to help our girl to cross the rainbow bridge in loving arms..🤍"
