Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.
Leave Your Remembrance
Dear Duchess,
From the moment you joined our family on November 2, 2013 you have brought us love and joy. You are such a good girl. I will miss your silliness, your hide and seek games, and feeling you burrow into my forehead and chest. You have been such a loyal friend and companion to me, Kookie, Mason, Carol, Charlie and Judy. You are worthy of your royal title. I love you.
❤️- Susan
