Remembering our pets, Pet Memorial
We strive to hold annual pet memorials annually, previous memorials have focused on Thanksgiving, or spring with a butterfly release! It was a wonderful time of sharing and connecting with others, in remembering our special pets that have passed on. As always, this event was free and open to all. Creature Comfort Clinic LLC matched donations to our local shelter....Together we raise funds for shelter animals!
