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.
Theodore was my faithful four-legged companion. We got him as a puppy shortly after my mom died, and he was a huge comfort for me and helped me through it. He was loyal and sweet and loved on pretty much everyone. He enjoyed getting pets, and then collapsing on the floor to hopefully get a bonus belly rub. I will always cherish our neighborhood walks, and I'll miss seeing your face through the front window when I would return home. Mama loves you always, Theodore.
I'll always remember the times I'd just lie down with Theodore and snuggle with him. We'd both lie there, I'd be hugging him, and it was absolute bliss. He was such a love---he loved people, and we loved him right back. What a special boy. We miss you, baby!
Theodore was a sweet and loving companion - he was forever friendly and gentle and we will miss giving him belly rubs and having him lay on our feet <3
