Jaida

2009 – 2024

Jaida enjoyed early morning, solar noon, and early evening walks. She chased tennis balls, bubbles, and butterflies. Jaida liked frozen yogurt dog treats and cat naps. She didn't like the dark or to be left alone, so we made sure Jaida was safe inside with us, her feline friend, and her stuffed hedgehog before the sun went down. Our sweet baby girl will live in our hearts forever.

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
I was saddened to hear of Jaida's passing. It’s amazing how these wonderful animals can become such an integral part of our lives. Difficult when they leave us.
