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.
Apollo
A wonderful companion and family member. Apollo will be missed tremendously.
Jagger
Jagger came into our lives and touches our hearts the moment he was brought home. As a Mastiff/pitbull he was always so gentle. We had 2 children at the time that he was always protective of. He showed so much love. He enjoyed playing with our other dog Harley who has also passed away. They were bestfriends. Jagger loved attention and we miss him dearly. The house just isn’t the same without him there.
Tilly
We just want to say our Tilly was taken too soon after a miraculous back surgery recovery.’
She was loved so much and gave so much love to us, we wish we had more time.
We will never forget her and she is deeply missed.
Mr. Tucker
Loved immensely, missed terribly, never to be forgotten.
Gus
“I know that everyone says this about their pet, but Gus truly was the best dog. My husband and I adopted Gus from the SPCA when he was ten months old and we were both quite young ourselves. It didn’t take long for Gus to know we were his people and show us his goofy, fun loving traits. For a dog of his size, he certainly didn’t know it- sprawling an entire queen sized bed, sitting on your lap when he didn’t want you to stop petting him, or “giving you two” paws to put on your shoulders to dance. Gus was with us for all of our biggest moments- first homes, marriage, the birth of our two daughters- and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and gentle best friend to have by our side for the last eleven years. We miss you deeply Gus, every moment of every day, and we hope you’re rolling in some snow, enjoying an ice cream cone.”
Hornby
“Hornby was a very good girl, who was recused as a puppy from a shelter in Belize, and lived her eight years to the fullest. From sailing around the gulf islands, to sniffing every single lamp post in Downtown Victoria, she loved her little life, and will be missed more then she’ll ever know. Thanks to the incredible team at Resting Paws for making her final moments painless, and without fear. She left this world wagging her tail, with no vet clinic (her arch nemesis) in sight.”
Bob
Forever loved. Hope you are enjoying the squirrel park in the sky.
Ellie
“the happiest girl who loved life to the fullest.”
Harley
“My sweet girl,
Life will be so much more quiet without your snores and constant noises.
Your love for people, walks and hiking always made me so happy.
I’m glad our little family got this time with you.
Now go run wild.”
Zoe
You made our releasing of our lovely Zoe so calm and peaceful. Zoe was not shaking and scared. All she felt was love and for that I am extremely grateful. She was adopted when she was not yet two. She was full of fear and a very anxious dog. As time went on, she became much more trusting. She loved her walks and and being with her family. She is already miss.
Nugget
Nugget came to Dr. Vanessa 17 years ago as an orphaned kitten who required bottle feedings around the clock. She grew into the purrfect companion who filled our lives with so much joy and warmth 😻She was the queen of drooling while purring, a sunbathing beauty with an odd, but adorable, obsession with bananas 🍌 She will be missed dearly 💔
Rest in peace sweet Nugget. You have surely left paw prints on the hearts of so many 🐾
Begley
This guy came into our lives on December 29, 2010…we had him for almost exactly 13 years. We will miss him so much. He was the best companion and fur brother to our daughter. He was a great walking partner to his dad. He was the best coworker for myself…he was by my side all day everyday for 13 years. He was the best photoshoot dog despite being all black and hard to light..he willingly wore costumes and always knew the exact spot to sit for the ‘dog’ in any family photo. He was a 70lb lap dog but always asked to get on the couch before jumping up. He survived cancer twice and gave us 13 amazing years. We are missing him so much already. We have so many wonderful memories. We are so grateful that he was able to be at home with us for his final moments. Thank you Dr. Vanessa.
Mystic
In loving memory of our sweet and special, Mystic, who brought so much joy and love to our lives. She passed peacefully while laying on my lap (her favourite place to be). I’m so grateful that I had 18 years with her sassy little attitude. Rest peacefully my sweet Mystic.
