Pet Memorials

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.

Korra

Korra was the sweetest girl, the best dog anyone could ask for. She brought so much joy and light into every room she entered, and everyone who met her instantly fell in love. Her comfort, smiling face, and wagging tail, she was the happiest girl. Roaming through the trees or on the beach, she loved taking in all the sniffs, and chasing bunnies and swallows. Korra was so deeply loved, and the emptiness she is leaving in our lives is bigger than ever imagined. We will love you forever, sweet girl Korra.

Bitten

Forever loved and forever missed, you will never be forgotten. 🐾

Sasha

Sasha was a beloved cat with a big personality who loved to be in the middle of everything. Always saying hello and “talking” to anyone who came to visit.

Max

Max was rescued by Angels Under Our Wings Cocker Spaniel Rescue, in 2010, when he was a puppy. He came to us as a scared and very shy boy. With training and trust, he became a confident and loving boy who won every heart he met. He loved swimming, kayaking, chasing after his ball, going on adventures to Sechelt, the Okanagon, Tofino, and Parksville, volunteering at events and taking in foster dogs. Once he trusted, Max’s heart was huge. He let so many dogs in, whether it was over night or for a few weeks. He taught them that there were good people in this world that will love them.
There would be never be enough words to describe how Max affected so many lives. His smile, his “talking,” his love of life, were infectious as is the emptiness of his passing. We will remember him and all the good and love he brought into the world and he will be missed by so many.
Run free my itty bitty boy, run free.

Star

Star had her own way of loving—never overly cuddly, but always choosing when it mattered most. I’ll never forget the nights she’d quietly jump onto the bed, walk her way up, and softly meow just to let me know she was there before settling in close. Those small moments meant everything. She was my best friend, my comfort, and my whole heart. She will always be deeply loved and never forgotten.

Abby

We had to say a very difficult goodbye to our beautiful Abby on March 18th

She came to us as a 2 1/2 year old rescue dog from Los Angelas 12 ½ years ago and she changed our lives forever! The love and joy she gave to all of us in our family is immeasurable and so hard to describe. We have lost a huge part of our family and life will never be the same again. We will always hold the love she had for us and the love we had for her in our hearts forever and remember her always with the thousands of pictures and videos that we have of her on our phones!!!

You were the Best Abby…you stayed as long as you could with us…Now it is time for you to rest pain free.

Benjamin

My sweet Benjamin – my soul kitty, my heart and forever companion.

I found him when I was 15, in a moment that would quietly change my life. A girl from school was giving away kittens far too young (only two weeks old). He had these giant ears that made him look a little funny and I remember thinking that if I didn’t choose him, maybe no one would. So I did. I tucked that tiny ginger boy into my shirt and walked him all the way home, his little life held close to my heart.

For two weeks, I hid him under my bed, building him a tiny kitten sanctuary, until my dad found him after hearing his mews. I cried and begged to keep him, promising he’d be mine forever. My dad agreed so long as I took him with me to university. There was never a question, Ben had my heart from day one.

We grew up together. I was there for every stage of his life, from a tiny kitten with giant ears to the gentlest, wisest old soul. He had the softest little paw taps when he wanted love or treats and he filled every space with warmth and calm. 

 After high school, he stayed by my side through it all – roommates, moves, and eventually meeting his cat dad. The three of us became a little trio for 12 beautiful years, building a life across 7 different homes. No matter where we went, as long as Ben was there, it was home. He was our constant, our grounding force, our big chonky boy who curled up beside us every night and worked beside us during the day. 

 Ben loved people, kids, and every animal he met. He became the wise uncle to so many “puppy and kitten cousins” quietly teaching calmness and love just by being himself. 

 He was also such a fighter and carried diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and most recently, cancer with so much strength and grace. When it was time to let him rest, we knew his soul was ready.
We miss him every day and our home feels different without him now. But we feel him everywhere, in the love he left behind and in the way he changed us forever

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

Pizza

Pizza was the best pal, and a loving and mostly patient big brother. He worked very hard at his craft of hypnotizing me into feeding him whenever he wanted. It was his calling, and he was very talented. Although he never achieved complete domination over my will, he did command my heart.
I was so lucky to have him in my life for almost 15 years. I will miss him 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.
