In Loving Memory
Honouring and remembering the pets we have helped transition across the rainbow bridge.
Please send us an email if you would like to honour your pet’s memory.
Toby
In loving memory of Toby Lerone, a small dog with a giant heart. Though his life was short, he lived it with unbridled enthusiasm and a love as big as his personality. Between his soulful brown eyes and that unmistakable, adorable underbite, he had a way of winning over everyone he met. We will miss those sweet snuggles and that perfect underbite forever

Minnow
I met Minnow as ‘Minnie’, a skinny shy gal from Guanajuato, Mexico in 2013. Rescued by Mex-Can Pet Partners as a tiny puppy outside a mine, she was the last of her litter to be chosen – I still remember being floored by her striking blue eyes, and asking how anyone could pass on a face like hers. Even then I knew I would never meet another like her.
The early years with Minnow were filled with gentle introductions to the world, everything was a first and she had big feelings about it all. I used to tell Minnow that if she had a song, it would be Britney Spears’ ‘I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman’ as she was all sorts of awkward. But we quickly fell into stride over the years, both growing through shared experiences and life changes. We had many adventures together, from camping, snowshoeing, and hiking mountains to lazy days in the garden, on the couch, or watching the world go by at cafes. Through all the ups and downs her unconditional love was there.
Seeing her age was heartbreaking but also a precious time. Her naps were longer, the walks were shorter, hearing almost gone, and she faced radiation treatments with admirable strength. Despite it all she never lost her gentle and kind nature. I like to think that she loved our life together as much as I did, and it gave us a shared purpose. Caring for Minnow in the final years after her diagnosis was a chance for me to pay her back for all the dedication she showed me, I made her bed softer, blankets warmer, and made sure to give her at least 1,000+ pets a day.
I said goodbye to Minnow on February 24, 2026 at home snuggled on her bed, with a warm jacket on, eating whipped cream. She slipped away into what I can only imagine was the most comfortable sleep she had ever felt, free from pain. The biggest final act of kindness I could give my best friend.
A light went out in my life that day, and the world feels less colourful now. I will be forever changed for having her by my side. “If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.”
Thank you Dr. Rachel and Heather for being so gentle and thoughtful during the home visit, it made for the best worst day I could hope for.
Niko
Niko was the best dog anyone could ask for, our soul dog some might say. She loved everyone and every creature big or small. She loved to adventure in the forest and swim in any body of water she could get herself into. She spent her 14 years with us traveling the world by our side. Her spirit will forever hold space in our hearts and memories.
Whitney
Hard to describe how good Whitney was to us. She filled our life with so much joy. She loved roaming the beach for seaweed to eat and occasionally barking at planes. She had such a sweet personality so chill but also playful. We will miss her so much 
Macey
Our dearest Macey, at over 15, you took your last breath on Friday, March 13.
We rescued you 12 years ago, but in many ways you rescued us. Your unwavering love and protection of our family never faltered. Even as you battled your own health challenges, you never slept until all of us were home each day. Our home is empty now and our hearts are broken, but we know you are running free without pain on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
Sister
Sofy
Your pawprints will stay in our hearts forever.
PanPan
PanPan left us Feb 27th. He is greatly missed and always will be in our home and in our hearts. He was a rescue (as all our animals are) and we adopted him because of his personality and his cry. He was hiding under the bed at the rescue home, he would come out when people where quiet and usually asleep. We didn’t see PanPan when we adopted him, only when he was put in the crate to bring home. We cried the smallest cry for such a large boy, we were in love. His name means GreekGod, and that he was! He had a good 13+ years with us and spent some time with our other cats until they passed – PK, MoeMoe and Misty. He hated them all but he came out of his shell and became the GreekGod his name reflects. We miss you Pan and we will never forget you
Buddy
Buddy ..my boy as I called him. He was a very handsome..charming..and confident cat. He pretty much did what he wanted when he wanted. But not with arrogance. He was sweet and sensitive. One of his favourite things was to be brushed..on demand! He loved his treats too.The neighbourhood adored him..he had places and people he visited regularly. He ruled the street and the other cats who lived here…but it was more of a leadership role
He was my roommate for almost 13 years…I miss him so much.
Thank you to Dr.Vanessa and Laura for their compassion and kindness at a very difficult and heartbreaking time.
