Ziggy was playful, adorable, funny, and one of the best dogs ever. He loved to snuggle with his favorite toy or with our shoes (he wouldn’t chew them… just snuggle with them). He loved his dog and human family. He loved to play outside, go for walks, and bark. We were so sad when he got sick, and heartbroken when we had to put him to sleep. We will always remember his playfulness, silliness, cuddles, and shoe-stealing. We love Ziggy so much and we will miss him so much. 🤍

We were honored to have you as our fur baby for 13 years. You were the sweetest, funniest, kookiest little man. Rest in peace little man. You will always be in our hearts

Rosie was born in our home on September 22, 2013. Her first love was hunting coyotes with her crew. She also loved patrolling the neighborhood on top of her coup, loving on her family, and meal time. She is predeceased by her mom Trudy and siblings Spike and Ruby. She leaves behind Levi, Millie, and Charlotte who are going to miss her terribly. Our house will seem quiet without her hound dog howl. She will forever be our Rosebud, PuffPuff, and all the other silly nicknames she earned.

Today is such a hard and emotional day we had to say goodbye to our baby even though you were only with us 5 years it was the most amazing 5 years we got with you. From a six week old lil baby to the huge dog you became we loved everything about you. You were such a goofball and a big moosh So loving and sweet we loved your kisses and hugs you always gave. We will miss you so much rest in peace my baby boy mommy and daddy will miss and love you always.

There will never feel like there is enough time to spend together. From the day we rescued you until they day we said our goodbyes you always had that tail wagging. You were the best cuddle buddy with a sweet sweet soul. So patient with the kids and of course the first to snatch up some crumbs. Your paw print will forever be in our hearts.

How does anyone sum up the abundance of love and happiness our pets give us? This is Tyler. Tyler brought a whole new meaning to the phrase “best friend”. In his young days, he loved to sit outside in the backyard and just sniff the fresh air. In the past few months he became weaker and weaker. Walking became difficult for him. We knew his time to cross the rainbow bridge was near. Our hearts are broken, but it is a true comfort to know he is running and playing again like he did just a few short years ago. We used to call Tyler “the KING of dogs”. To us, that’s what he was. When he passed, he took a part of our hearts with him.
Run free in green fields, Tyler…until we meet again.

12 years ago we went looking for an older dog in a shelter but then saw you and your brother, just a few weeks old, and knew we had to have you both. You were crazy pups and kept me and dad on our toes for sure. You were a fighter, Buster. Having the highest levels of Lyme the vet ever saw, you didn’t let it stop you. We will always remember the love you gave us and all your pet siblings. When we were told you had 7-10 days to live back in June from hemangiosarcoma, our hearts broke. You hung in there for 10 months giving us your all. We love you Buster. Rest in peace.

Our Mia, mommy’s baby girl, daddy’s little sweetheart. For 17 years you filled our hearts and home with so much love. Although our house is so empty without you, you will always be in our hearts. Your sweet little face, your kisses and cuddles will be deeply missed. We hope the sun is shining down on you and the breeze is blowing in your face. Mommy and daddy love you!

We had 15 year together. I saw your picture on a southern rescue site and knew you were meant to be with me. You made the trip from Albama to Pennsylvania as a pup and I loved you ever since. You welcomed home three children and taught them so much. Thank you for the memories, the cuddles, the laughs and the love. I'll miss you waking me up in the morning and waiting for me after work. I'll miss the zoomies and our walks on the trail. There is a hole in our hearts and our home--we miss you already. We love you, Jackers. You were the best boy.

Rocky was the sweetest, most wonderful dog. We flew him from Hawaii when my son left from college there. He loved every one and every one loved him. He was our traveling companion wherever we went. We have so many happy memories. We were so lucky to have him in our life

To our dear Shelley Girl. You wete the best pet anyone could ask for. You gave us 16 years of unconditional love. We will never forget you and miss you every day.

If love alone could’ve kept you here, you would have lived forever. I will always love and miss you my sweet boy.

The best hunter and the most lovable friendly German shorthair. So many wonderful memories - traveled with us wherever we went and can never be replaced. He especially loved riding in the four wheeler with his master and dad.

Ethel came home with us after we drove to Pittsburgh to pick up her sister and we decided we needed Ethel too! She was the mischievous one, the one that got into what she wasn’t supposed to but then looked at you with those beautiful soulful eyes and you couldn’t help but love her. She grew into the most well behaved, gentle giant, who, I swear, understood every word we said, and became a great leader for our other pups. She was diagnosed with bone cancer and we had to make the painful decision to let her go before it got any worse. We will miss her terribly and love her forever. Rest easy sweet girl…until we meet again.

We will always love and miss our Argos. We hope you’re running again and laying in the warm sun. Our lives were more beautiful because of you. Watch over us, buddy. We love you.

My little love

To our sweet girl Sadie/Sadie-Pie/Taters, you have filled our hearts with love and and joy. Our time with you was cut way to short because of your DM diagnosis and although you spent the last 6 months in a wheelchair your spirit stayed strong. We cherish the wonderful memories of swimming with you in the pool this past summer and using the pitching net to play catch even up until your passing. We miss you dearly and our home is very empty without you. Dr. Victoria was so compassionate and in tune with what we all needed to be at peace. We know you are pain free, running again with your furry friends/family and in good hands with God, until one day we will meet you in the Light. Dr. Victoria, thank you again for helping us with this most difficult time.

Libby (Liberty - she was picked up on the Fourth of July), has been a member of our family for almost 18 years. She brought us so much joy and laughter with all of her little quirks. Our hearts are broken and we can’t wait to see her again. We love you Libby!

Sookie was a magical little being, feisty and stubborn. Up for any adventure. She will be deeply missed.

Kylo was the sweetest boy ever. We miss you so much and we will always remember all the meows for chicken and to go outside. Rest in peace my love-we will see you again. Xoxo

We will always miss you and you will be forever loved.

I loved you your whole life. I’ll miss you for the rest of mine. My Best Girl

Our sweet boy Oakley. You gave us so much love and joy for 13 years. We love and miss you so much. You will forever be in our hearts ❤️❤️

What a joy it has been to call you ours for over 16 years! You have always been a loyal companion, protector and friend. You have been there through it all and it's hard to imagine life going on without you here with us. We know that if you could have stayed with us forever, you would have. You loved us and we sure loved you! You brought such happiness and love into our lives. You will be in our hearts forever, Maxie boy! We love you!

Lola was with me since I was 20 years old. I pulled into my driveway and this random dog jumped in my car. She was full of life. It turned out she was microchipped and belonged to a little girl. I tried to return her but her father pleaded not too, that she always ran away and had been missing 6 months, and asked me to keep her. So I did. Lola was with me through college and kissed both my babies the day I brought them home from the hospital. She was always so gentle. I started a small farm with ducks and chickens, and she welcomed every other animal with love and never showed a sign of aggression. Lola kept us on our toes, always getting into something she shouldn’t, my friends called her the immortal dog. But nothing lives forever except love and my girl got very sick with an incurable disease and watching her suffer any longer wasn’t an option. Lola gave me and my two boys so much love. I am so thankful vet Victoria was able to put her out of pain, but this grief is immeasurable. We love you Lola Ann

Gigi,
You loved us for 17 years and we can't believe you're gone. Our house has a hole in it only your memory can fill. We will miss you forever. Rest easy sweet girl.

Boo was the bestest, sweetest boy. We’re glad he’s not in pain any more and that he is reunited with his best friend, Laila but we miss him so much. Thank you Bubba for all your love and for keeping us all safe and making sure nobody misbehaved in your watch.

Dearest sweet baby Bella, we certainly never anticipated that we would be mourning you so soon after your “brother”. We thought the quality 1:1 time with you had just begun, cherishing every day gifted with you and your beautiful heart. To know you was to love you, and for this we feel blessed. You are and will always be loved ❤️.

Daisy was the best dog ever and went everywhere with us. Our hearts are broken with having to say goodbye so suddenly.

Bear My Boy! Three words I’ve always been able to say the past 14 years. We never thought this day would come. We miss you Beary, we miss you so, so, so, much. Abby Bo Bo, Gizmo, and Chase miss you, we all miss you. Mommy has been a complete wreck without you boy. You’re everywhere Beary, there’s not a place we go that we cannot think of you. There will never be another like you, the unconditional love you showered us with, your backyard adventures, that turbo tail that would always fool us into thinking someone was knocking on the door, and even your attitude you would let everyone know about when you were upset. Thank you for being so strong to the very end for all of us, even though I knew how tired you were getting. Thank you for all the memories you have given us, memories that we will carry on in our hearts and cherish for the rest of our lives. Our lives will truly never be the same without you. You can rest now our sweet boy, until we see you again. We’ll meet you at the rainbow bridge.

Watson, my first baby, I will miss your happy dances & when you would “talk” to us. Your love helped us get through some tough times and create this beautiful life. We will forever miss and love you, sweet potato!

Baxter was our family’s first dog and we will always be so grateful for him. Though he acted human most of the time, he was the best furry friend we could have ever asked for. He brought 18 years of love and happiness to this family. We are glad to have given him nothing short of a perfect life. We will miss you so much. We love you forever Mr. B.

Haven was our first rescue. We had our hearts set on a different puppy from the litter, but Haven was smart! He sat in my lap and gave me so much love immediately and it was decided. He came home with us. He brought so much happiness and silliness to our lives. He loved to grab shoes, wrists, and trained mom and dad really well on giving treats. Run free and happy, Haven. We will love you forever.

Rest in the sweetest peace to our amazing Dakota who will always be remembered and in our hearts.

Capone was more than just a pet. He was family. As big as he was, his heart was even bigger. He was loved beyond measure and we will forever cherish every moment we were blessed to have with him. We’re thankful to have him for his 12 years of life and watch all of our children grow with him. We miss you Pony.

Phoenix (aka Bean) was adopted from the Friends of Homeless Animals of RI Rescue and spent the last 15 years as a loyal member of our family. As our first fur-baby, he will always hold a special place in our hearts and will be greatly missed.

The sweetest, most beautiful, loving kitty in all the land....

Three years and two months ago, I was working as a manager at Metro by T-Mobile, going about my days as usual. I had a customer come in to buy a phone, and I could tell she was distraught. She shared her troubles with me that she was on her way to New York to put her dog down because she couldn’t keep her and nobody would take her, she had concerns of putting turning her over to an animal shelter because she was already so old and didn’t want her to suffer alone in her last years before being put down there. I knew in my heart what I had to do, and without a second thought or any regret, I told that woman to bring the dog to me and that I was going to take her. I became the new owner of an amazing ten year old German Shepherd who spent her life as a service animal to a physically handicapped child. She was one of a kind, full of love, dedicated and loyal, and she would even argue with you to get her way! I’ve quite literally spoken to her many times over the years, and she has talked back (in her own little way with barks and whining). She would demand attention daily, by flipping your hand onto her head because pets were a must! And dare you say no, she would start yelling at you to love on her. When I moved back home with my parents, she instantly took to my son and protected him, loved him, watched over him and was his best friend. She fought until the very end, refusing to allow anything to hold her back from being the best friend she always was. No matter how hard it was for her to walk, or how much it hurt her to get up, every single time I came home she made her way to the door from wherever she was in the house, to welcome me home, check me to make sure I was okay and then to demand that I give her love and attention. I often found myself being woken up in the morning, to her flipping my hand with her COLD nose, because damn it, she had to go pee! She fought for so long, and for so hard, but as hard as she tried her strength kept slipping from her. Making the decision to let her go was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. Hennessy was an amazing dog, and we were absolutely blessed to have had her walk into our lives and we’re proud to have been able to give her another three years to live, three of the best years of her life. Thanks to Buffalo and Beyond, we were able to say goodbye in the comfort of our living room, where she felt safe, at home, loved and cherished. The only thing that helps ease the pain is knowing that we gave her an amazing three years, and that when it was her time, she never felt alone or abandoned, and most of all, no more pain. I have never met a dog quite like Hennessy, nor will I ever be able to replace her. She was like a human in a canines body, with a personality like no other. Rest in Peace babygirl. You’re our angel now. You will always be remembered for the companion you were, and I will hold the memory of you close to my heart for the rest of my life. Thank you Buffalo and Beyond, for taking my baby’s pain away, and for genuinely making this process as comfortable as possible for Hennessy and for our family. ❤️

Zeppelin was from a litter in Kentucky. He was the runt, the last one left at the rescue. I didn’t want a puppy, but he wanted my 3 and5 year old sons.
The vet said he had hip dysplasia, but he never acted like he was in pain. He grew up with my boys. A true retriever, he would tirelessly bring you a ball, toy, stick or even a rock and drop it covered in slobber at your feet. Then he would sit back and bark until it was thrown. He learned quickly that we were a lazy bunch, so he would drop it in our lap instead.
He loved car rides, because that meant we were either going to get one of his boys or to the lake. A wonderful swimmer, he would fetch anywhere you threw something into the lake for him. If he lost it, he would dive to the bottom to bring you back a rock.
He adored his sister Bella, a boxer mix who we added to the family when he was a year old. They did everything together, including escaping out of an open door and running for hours through the neighborhood.
After Bella passed in 2022, he was devastated. He was by then an old man, but he tolerated the addition of his little brother Dexter begrudgingly. He tought him all he knew about being a good boy and shared all his new toys and treats. He loved everyone, animal or human. Except for the stupid squirrel in the back yard.
He struggled to get up, and his bark became weak the last 2 years, but being the talker that he was he still told a great story when his humans came home. He was happy right up until his last breath.
When he told me he was too tired to be here anymore, on a Sunday of course, I called Buffalo and Beyond. They were here within an hour. The care and compassion they showed me and my old dog was amazing. When your pet gets older, you start to imagine how it will be when they die. Will it be traumatic? Will I have to take him for one last car ride to the vet? None of these things happened. He took his last breath with me laying on his bed holding him and whispering how much I loved him in his ear. By Friday he was back home in a beautiful urn next to his sister.
Thank you. So much. My heart is broken, but you made the experience a wonderful one.

On Saturday February 3, our beloved gentle giant Dozer crossed over rainbow bridge. He was surrounded by his family, on a particularly bright sunny winter afternoon…he spent his final day basking in the warm sunshine with his squeaky bones at his side - one of his favorite pleasures in life.

Dozer was best known for being the kindest gentleman to ever walk this earth. He enjoyed co piloting car rides, fishing trips to the river, chasing squirrels and long fast runs through the pines with Grampa.

He was truly happiest as long as he was with his family and friends. A very popular dog around town, so many neighbors have a story about dear Dozer.

Fiercely protective of his pack, never afraid of a challenge and still the softest ball of mush. Dozer always followed the rules, never needed a leash and never did anything bad. Sometimes known as a big stinky boy, he loved relaxing spa days and a good ear cleaning.

Dozer was more than a dog to our family. He was family. Bringing everyone joy and laughter and always a loyal soul to offer comfort after a rough day.

While our hearts are broken to lose him, we know how lucky we are to have had him in our lives. He will be forever missed.

Savvy was a wonderful resident at Woody's Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary. She came to us at 11 years of age after being disregarded by the only family she had ever known.

Savvy went on to live in the lap of luxury at the sanctuary surrounded by both human and doggie friends.

Savvy was a wonderfully sweet and loving girl who brought joy to all who knew her.

We miss you, our beautiful Savvy!

Tiger was only 3 weeks old when my son found him in our back yard and begged me to keep him, my son was 5 at the time, I did give in and took this sweet boy in. He has been with our family since 2009, he loved his neck rubbed and when my son would rub his ears.He also loved sleeping under the blanket on my sons bed. He had a best buddy, our dog Willie who he would lay next to until I got 2 new kittens, which brought Tiger excitement to his life. Unfortunately 4 months ago, Tiger was diagnosed with a brain tumor and at his age I felt palliative care was the best choice for him. Giving him prednisone every day. The tumor grew and he became more weak and there was nothing else we can do. We miss you everyday Tiger! The house is not the same. ❤️

Bruno had a personality unlike any other. He was such a sweet, playful, goofy angel. Though he was a monster of a King Shepherd (over 110lbs), he loved super soft plush toys and gently squeaked and cuddled them. He loved playing in the sprinkler and kiddie pools. We called him Twinkle Toes because of the little tufts of fur that fluffed up between his toes and his little prance-y dance he would do when excited. He loved to snuggle, especially on rainy nights. Bruno was absolutely my soul dog and I’ll forever carry him with me in my heart. He brought our family pure happiness these last (almost) 9 years. We’ll love you forever, baby Bruno Bear.

Brutus was our best friend. A velcro dog from the day we brought him home. He loved to be loved and never missed an opportunity to cuddle on the couch. We will forever miss the comfort and joy he brought our family.

I can't believe it has been 4 weeks since you crossed the rainbow bridge. In 1969 I adopted a labrador retriever...a lot like you... who was my pal for 9 years. I always knew I would have another. The years flew by. There were other dogs and cats as well. When I retired to Pennsylvania I was determined it was time to fulfill my dream of giving love to another lab. I found you, Piper, at the local shelter. They thought you were 6 or 7 years old. They said you were a mix of a labrador retriever and border collie. I loved you from the minute I met you.
Oh Piper, you were so loyal to me...so dedicated...so sweet and so good. I gave you the best life I knew how to. I have no idea what your previous 6 or so years of life were but at least you appeared to have always been loved. I am so thankful for the 8 1/2 years you gave me. They went way too quickly. I knew this past year that you were failing. I knew when the time had come. My heart still aches...and always will...but I know your pain is over.
You'll always be loved and missed.

Dually was the best barn dog, traveling companion, protector, and friend. He was as smart as he was handsome and always loved to herd his chickens. Dually will be missed everyday but remembered fondly.

Dakota thank you for your unconditional love for 12 yrs you were the best dog I could have ever asked for. You were always by mine and daddy's side and I always knew I was safe when daddy was at work. You will always forever be in our hearts I love you Dakota

Our Mario was the best dog. ❤️ He was so beautiful. His eyes were human like and his fur was so soft. He loved going to the beach and running in the water as the waves came in. He loved laying by our pool in the sun and was the best walker. He had the best ears!! You weren’t getting close to his house without him alerting the family. In the end, he got diabetes and went blind very quickly. He fought hard w/ 4 plus years of doing insulin twice a day. But he had enough. He is deeply missed 💔 and holds a special spot in our hearts. ❤️
He will always be our Bubba.
Until we meet again. We love you! ❤️🐾

Dearest sweet baby Chase, the loss of you has left our hearts broken. Thank you for the unconditional love and joy given to us every single day for the past 14.5 years. To know you was to love you, and for this we feel blessed. You are and will always be loved ❤️

Suzie was one of my feral kitties I cared for on our property since 2008 along with her pal, Sheetzer. My husband built a beautiful shelter for them to sleep and sun themselves. She wanted no part of being inside and only trusted me. Her buddy passed last January, which left a void for her. She continued to greet me every day and looked for my attention. I brought her inside the last days of her life and held her a lot. She liked that and purred. I will miss you, Suzie. I know your pal, Sheetzer, was waiting for you at the bridge ❤️🐾🐈❤️

Ruby loved to give kisses and eat fresh veggies from the garden and she loved working in our home office with me! We love and miss you!

Our heart still
Ache in sadness, and
Secret tears still flow. What it
Meant to loose you,
No one will ever know.

Jack wasn't a lap cat but would always accept chin scritches or a good neck rub. His pink nose was always incredibly shiny & his fur though short, was soft & plush. He liked to explore the highest spots in the house, shred brown kraft paper from Chewy boxes, chew through the string that held the toys on wands or cat trees, & loved to snooze in his heated bed(s). He got more vocal & louder in his old age & the house has been quiet without him registering complaints about his empty food dish or no ice in his water bowl. I'm glad that I had 20 years of being your servant 😉 & will always miss you. Hope that wherever you are that your legs allow you to jump from the highest cat tree & run after Una & Zero.

Kitty was found living under our shed in 2018. After feeding her, providing her with warm shelter and gaining her trust over two year, she began to live in our home full time. Kitty was the most loving, gently cat we have ever had. She truly was sunshine on a cloudy day. We will miss her eternity ❤️

Mia thank you for your unconditional love for the past 15 years. You were the best dog ever and will never be forgotten, you will live on forever in our hearts. RIP our sweet girl.

Our handsome Noah P. We were blessed to experience all 10 years of Noah P's life with him as our doggie, though it will never be enough time. He was adopted through One Life to Live Pet Rescue on December 29th, 2013 and secured an irreplaceable spot in all our hearts from that day on. He provided our full house with smiles, gratitude, lots of fur, and "lovins". He was the best big fur brother to his fur siblings Pogo and Aaliyah who we know love and miss him just as the entire house always will. Thank you so much Noah for allowing us to love you. I promise that love will never cease.

Tipsy, our first little princess, ran across the rainbow bridge Christmas Eve night. She left us on the eve of her favorite holiday just in time to spend it with her sissy Dori up in heaven. Definitely not how we expected our Christmas Eve to go but blessed she was able to be sent to heaven and out of her suffering. We got to love you for 14+ long years, from the day we picked you out when you were just two weeks old life will never be the same without your fiery little self. Roni and Noodle have no one to keep them in line anymore. We all miss you so much already baby, run free up there and eat SO much chicken. I wish I could squeeze you and kiss you just one more time & thank you to my mama for taking such good care of our baby since we got her but especially at the end when her care was a full time job. She made her life the best it could ever be up until her last breath. Rest easy baby girl.

Fred was a special and unique character from the time we brought him home! He loved everyone and everyone loved him. Everyone knew his name! He was the best big furbrother to Wilma, who will be lost without him. Rest easy and pain free now, buddy. Our lives will never be the same.

My handsome boy Snappy… From the first day I brought you home with me, life was never the same. You were a show stopper whenever we went out for a walk. No one knew what a Manchester Terrier was but you were always kind and welcomed the attention. Your grandparents loved cuddling with you even if it was only on weekend visits. You were my constant companion for over 18 years and I am incredibly grateful we had so much time together although it’s never long enough. Little sister Munchie is lonely without you to keep her company. You will always be with me in my heart. ‘Till I see you again my sweet boy ❤️❤️

Bo was born to break hearts. The perfect dog in all ways. The true meaning of unconditional love. A patient big dog brother to Miles. His job was playing fetch, his hobby was birdwatching. A loyal and protective companion to his family. There is no love like that of a cattle dog.

Tiara- you were the sweetest and most loved pup around. Everyone has a positive memory of you. You changed peoples opinions about chihuahuas. You gave us 15 years of love and cuddles and while the time we had would have never been enough, we hope you are now pain free and flying high with your friends up there. Just know we love you more than anything and your memory will live forever. You were our best friend and nothing short of amazing. Rest easy my sweet angel, until we meet again. We love you.

When we brought Enzo home alongside our newborn son, people thought we were crazy but we wouldn’t trade a single moment with our boy. Enzo grew up alongside our two children, guarding and protecting them despite not having a mean bone in his body. He loved playing fetch in his backyard and would spend hours outside if you let him. Life with Enzo was never a dull moment; figuring out how to open the fridge to help himself to snacks, “eating the house”, and learning to open any door in the house. When we got the dreaded cancer diagnosis, we didn’t know how long we would have with him and are so thankful for the few more moments we got to love on him. He fought his illness until his last breath just to stay with his family as long as he could. Our home will never be the same without him and he will be missed so much. Rest in peace Enzo, we love you forever 💙 Thank you for protecting us and loving us all these years, and for being the best dog we could ask for.

Solomon, thank you for letting me be your buddy. I'm glad I met you at Griffin Pond and was able to give you a home, a couch and a bed. I'll miss walking you all over Mount Cobb, Hamlin and Nay Aug Park and stopping in to visit at Tractor Supply. Every time I'll drive down Pumphouse Road I'll think of you and how much you enjoyed Compton's Pond.

Our Harley girl was a rescue, and we knew from the very first second we met her that she was going to be one of a kind. When we say that she was the best dog ever, it is literally in every sense possible. Our girl Grew up alongside our four children and has two fur sisters. To say we will miss her is an understatement. A piece of our hearts will be forever gone. We take peace in knowing that she is now pain-free, and not struggling. Thank you for the memories Harley girl, thank you for loving us like you did, and thank you for being the absolute best dog ever. We love you, and will miss you so very much.

My Best Friend Always!

You will be so missed especially when I go to bed. You had always made sure I was never late for work or letting me know when it was time for bed. My mornings will never be the same without you. You gave me a great 18 years of being your human mom and I appreciate that
Love you handsome

Duncan you will be missed so much.. my heart is completely broken. 14 years will never be long enough for me.. I hope you’re running in the field that you always loved to do.. how you loved to swim and all your walks and car rides and I can’t forget your ice cream you loved so much and just being by my side always.. I love you so much and will always miss you waiting for me to come home or that bark for my attention.. I can write a book about how special you were to me these words aren’t even half,. Run free my Sunshine I will always love you and that special place for you will always be in my heart 💙❤️🐾

A giant great dane who thought she was a lap dog. The one to make you laugh with just how goofy she was. Always laid her head on you and made you feel warm. Even though she never could fit on the couch right, she sure did try. Your paw print will forever be in our hearts.

Tasha we miss you and love you so much our hearts are broken without our little lady

Our beautiful, beloved Lady passed gently on Saturday evening. We will so miss her! Lady has been a steadfast friend and member of the family since she was 5 weeks old. Her greatest gift was her gentleness and her willingness to teach us about unconditional love.
Lady met us at the door any time we returned home with a gentle tail wag of welcome and would walk us to the door anytime we had to leave.
She has been with my children as they grown; she was present for first dates, driving lessons and graduation ceremonies with my son and as my daughter went from a little girl to a beautiful young lady.
Lady you have left a hole in our hearts that will never heal. Until we meet again dear friend.. you are loved.

In recognition of her loyal and dedicated service to the Larksville Community, the Larksville Police Department, and partner, Sergeant Joshua Evans, thank you for your service. You will be deeply missed by all.

Chelsea was our sweet, little, Welsh Terrier! She helped to raise 3 boys from age 10, 8, & 5 to adulthood. She was the perfect boy dog - she jumped in the pool, ran in the snow piles, allowed coats, sweaters, and hats to be placed on her, and zoomed around every day flying through the house like a young pup. She was so patient and loving. Her time spent with us was precious and will be treasured forever. She will be greatly missed by each of us. She was the best dog we could ask for. Run wild, Chelsea! Love, Mom, Dad, Tyler, Colin, & Nathan

We will love you forever Eli. You will always and forever be in our hearts. ❤️❤️🐕
Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people, pets—they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart. ~Bruce Coville

A part of our family crossed the rainbow bridge on Friday, Nov. 10. With the compassionate help of Dr. Victoria, Ewok passed peacefully in our arms. He enjoyed many things in his long 17.5 years with us. From chilling at the beach, kayaking, hiking and chasing groundhogs, he really enjoyed life. He particularly loved food, making weird noises, belly rubs, his mama, and his brother. Ewok was also an unofficial service dog and protector. He alerted his family when his brother had seizures. He loved hard and played hard! Ewok also went by many names; Ewoker, Fwoker, sir pees a lot, ‘lil Weiner, and mama’s little baby. Fly free with the angels, little guy! You will forever and always be our little wiener, in this life and the next. Xoxo

To our Brody Boo/Buhbid/Bibbage Bear/Brody-Roni,
Words are simply not enough to express the love and joy you brought to our life for almost 14 years. You were the brightest hello everyday, the most needed in between the leg snuggler after a long hard day and the sweetest cuddle in the back every night. You were our 'first born son' and Mom's favorite child (according to the human children). Dad's favorite lap buddy during car rides and long walk companion complete with runs through the field. We will remember all the funny, wonderful memories we have of you- Until we meet again. We love you & miss you everyday.
Love Always, Mom Dad Landon and Camryn

Moo, I am so heartbroken that your time with us has come to an end. The beginning of your life was filled with neglect, abuse and cruelty beyond a measure that most animals (thank God) never see. I could tell from the first moment that we met you were special and you deserved that second chance to unlearn what you had and flourish into a happy pup and boy, did you! You LOVED watching cartoons- especially Ice Age, I’ll never see that movie the same way again… and you were one of the most laid back, snuggle loving pibbles I have ever known. I already miss you more than my heart can take… you left a painful void that’s never going to be filled or healed. A piece of me died that day with you. Until we meet again, on the dark side of the moon.

Bear was one of our pack of 3, that grew up with our kids as they went through their teen years and transitioned out of the house. He was the last one to go, at just over 13 years old. Bear was the dog that would come out to play at any party . He was always ready to play fetch. He would play until he dropped if we let him. As the years passed and his hips got bad, he would bring us his ball daily, but we'd only toss it a few feet, in the house, as he could no longer do the steps to get back in the house. He'd get 3 or 4 throws in and would be too tired to do more. But he was happiest playing fetch.
He was a super friendly, playful dog and will be missed.

King was a sweet and gentle boy. He preferred the couch over any toy or walk. Sometimes we joked that he may have thought he was a cat and not a dog. He was very loved and pampered. He will be missed in our lives.

Bella was loved by all and was always affectionate and happy to get pets from everyone. She loved hunting for mice and bunnies. She was the last of our original crew and I'm sure has now been reunited with them.

Morgan was a member of our family. Faithful companion, loyal friend and brave protector. She left holes in the yard and deeper ones in our hearts. We will miss her forever.

My sweet Sandy was rescued from Hurricane Sandy. (2010) After our rescue Ollie passed I found a local woman on FB who needed a cat sitter for 3 mos. He was 25 lbs & simply wanted belly rubs, food, & to be snuggled up to me. I cried when his owner picked him up, I’d absolutely fallen in love with him. The following Fall she asked me to cat sit for 9 mos! Of course I said, YES! As the pick-up neared I cried to my husband,” What am I going to do? I can’t bear to part with him !” My husband replied,” When she calls put him in the shed & tell her he ran away! She said we could let him go outside! “ I never let him out for fear he’d get hurt or lost.2 wks prior to the deadline the owner emailed me asking if I wanted to keep him !!! Of course I did! It was such a blessing! He was my comfort after my husband passed in April 2023 & my sister 3 wks later. Now I’m alone with no one to talk to or make me smile. Perhaps there will be another furry friend down the road waiting for me. It goes without saying how wonderful Dr Victoria is. Thank you so much.

Princess puppy, as she was called with so many other names, other than her given one, passed peacefully on Saturday afternoon. Baby girl celebrated her 8th birthday on 10/5/23. She was a EngAm bulldog (English/amercican). She had been diagnosed with a brain tumor about 2 years ago and had no symptoms throughout that time. Friday evening and into Saturday ended up pretty terrible for my girl. She had awful symptoms all throughout the night and Saturday, there was nothing we could do to help her feel better. She was in so much pain and it broke my heart to watch her suffer. This girl had the best personality ever. Cutest little tookus. Best snuggles. She was an amazing girl, I could go on and on about how wonderful she was, but no one would know how she really was unless they knew her. She was so loved by all of us, she was an amazing mommy to her 9 beautiful babies. A piece of me left with her on her way to the rainbow bridge. Our hearts are broken. I hope you are at peace my little love, free from pain and words can never describe how this feels without you. I’ll miss you forever and when my time comes, I will be waiting to just hug you and give you mooches. Fly high baby girl. I hope you are with Jake and snuggling together. Thank you for choosing me and letting me love you.

Our beautiful baby girl Dolly you left us way too soon. Our hearts are broken and we will never be the same without you. You were the Queen of the house and now the house feels so empty. Even though you were my retirement gift it was so obvious you were daddy's baby girl. When I look out the window I can see you walking in the yard with daddy like you did everyday for the past 7 years. You ruled our house, from your big Rotti brother Rocco, your Lab brothers Chance and Remi and your 3 sibling cats Pinot, Boots and Casper. You kept all of them in line they knew who was in charge. You brought such joy to us baby girl. I miss you laying on my recliner with me and I miss looking over at daddy laying down on the couch with you snuggled behind him. We know Rocco and Chance along with your cousins Thor and Nala were there to meet you when you crossed the rainbow bridge and we are sure you are back in charge and keeping them in line. We love you so much Dolly and we miss you more with each passing day and will miss you until we are together again.
Love you forever,
Mommy, Daddy, Remi, Pinot, Boots and Casper

Our sweet Bentley passed over the bridge on October 18th, 2023 leaving us all absolutely heartbroken. From the very first day Bentley came home he became the whole famili’s best friend. He was the most goofy, sweetest most cuddly dog we have ever met and we will forever cherish every moment we’ve had with him the past almost 10 years. On November 8th, 2023, he would’ve been 10.

Bentley will always be remembered for his goofy personality, but also how sweet he was. He was the best cuddle buddy anyone could ask for. He loved to be loved and loved to give love as well. Bentley loveddd going to the river and running through fields. And we know that’s exactly what he’s doing up there and that brings comfort to our hearts. And don’t forget his treats, he LOVESSS his treats!! And we hope he’s up there eating as many as he can.

We will remember you forever Bentley. You were the light of our lives and that will never be forgotten. We will miss you forever buddy. We love you so much. We hope you’re having fun… Wherever you are… 🤍🕊️

LOVE,
Mom, Arlinda, Arberesha, Ilir, Morgan, Adrian, Andi, Ilyana, and your best friend Beau 🐈‍⬛🤍

ButterBean came to us after being rescued from the streets of Philadelphia. She was cold, scared, and hungry, but it didn’t take her long to adjust to her new home. Once she claimed the corner of our living room sofa as her’s, she knew she found her safe and loving family and she will never feel scared and hungry again. She made our house a ‘home’, filled with fun and contentment and never did we expect to have to make a decision to end her life someday. Thank you, Dr. Victoria for your patience and calm demeanor. There could not have been a better way. Sincerely, Paul and Karen

Our hearts are so broken. On October 9th, we had to say goodbye to you, our sweet Penny. You were only a part of our family for 11 months, but we loved you enough for a lifetime.

Penny was the sweetest little girl. We often called her Mommy, because she had seven kittens before we adopted her when she was three years old. I believe God guided Cassandra to pick her that day out of all the needy cats, because God knew we would make sure her life was full of everything she could ask for despite it being short.

She loved playing in her tunnel with her brother, Lalo. She would only put up with his shenanigans for so long, but she was always gentle. She especially loved breakfast time. When I would say "bird-ies and squirrel-ies, she would sprint to the living room window and sometimes would watch them for hours. Like clockwork every night she would hop on the bed around 3:00 a.m. and sleep right next to me. How I miss your love!

We wanted her to pass peacefully at home on her favorite little blanket on the couch. Dr. Sverduk came to our home, like she did when we had to say good-bye to our beloved Toonces two years ago, and gave Penny such a compassionate and peaceful transition. Penny passed away peacefully with hugs, kisses, and whispered words of love. Dr. Sverduk is so very, very kind and patient. We will be forever grateful to her.
Rest in peace our sweet, precious Penny. We will never ever forget you. Until we meet again.

Our sweet Delilah was a beautiful and silly soul. She joined our family on 10/8/15 and went to heaven on 10/9/23. For eight years and one day we were blessed with her love, sass, snuggles, and talkative personality. To say we miss her is an understatement. We talk about you everyday and miss the click of your paws, the snore of your nose, and the touch of your fur. Cally missed you so much that she had to join you in heaven. We love you more Dede girl.

Love,
Mom, Dad, Zack, Maddy, Jack, and Maggy

You let go like a leaf in a gentle autumn breeze to start your long slumber after nearly 18 years. May your soul be carried to a place where you never have to face another harsh winter. Where your spirit is as playful as you once were as a pup. A place over the rainbow where your senses are once again your own. May it be springtime where the smell of flowers tickle your nose and the sun warm your back. May your hearing be restored once again to hear birds singing in the trees. May your little legs be full of youth so you can run and play in the fresh green grass like you once did as a pup. May your beautiful eyes regain their sight to see us clearly again when the day comes for us to meet you once more. Our good boy Mugsy. The best boy Mugsy. The joy you brought our family is as immeasurable as our love for you. You left your prints all over our sweetest memories.
Love you forever your family

Daisy was such a great companion. Her favorite things were food and walks. Such a simple sweet girl just always trying to be there for her family. She's missed dearly.

Penny you are greatly missed. We will always love you. You made every day better. We are so lucky that you became a member of our family.

Boomer joined our family back in the fall of 2009. PetSmart was having an adoption fair where they brought dogs from other states. Boomer was so small and shy, but when I went up to him he placed his head in my hands and I was absolutely gone. We took him home that day and were blessed with his presence every day for the next 14 years. He was a bright light in our lives, and his loving and goofy manners will always be cherished and sorely missed.

To the wonderful caring staff of Buffalo and Beyond, we really can't express how grateful we are for the mercy you showed Boomer. You made his passing so much easier for all of us and there's no expression of thanks that quite covers it. But thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

I got Bailey when she was 9 weeks old. I remember the first day Bailey and I met, she came running across the room with these huge pink ears and paws that were still too big for her body and knocked me over. I looked at her and said you are the one. From the first day to her last day Bailey was by my side through it all. She was my bestfriend, my protector and a shoulder to cry on. 12 years I was lucky enough to spend with her. I will miss her always. Until we meet again my girl.

I can't thank the staff at Buffalo and beyond enough. They helped me let Bailey go with her dignity. May she rest in peace.

Thank you to Dr. Victoria for her kindness and compassion during a very difficult time. He was our world and we are lost without him. Dr. Victoria came into our home and allowed us to spend our last few minutes with Casey in the comfort of our own home. This whole process, although very difficult made it easier on our family to say goodbye to our sweet boy. RIP Casey. We love you!

I miss her every single day....she was my rock. Sookie was the most human like animal I have ever met....you knew exactly how she was thinking and feeling all the time. She had a love for making you smile. She was an amazing big sister to Rue, who is also missing her terribly......

My fur-baby boy.

Tiger was the sweetest soul. He loved his fur mom & dad dearly as well as his Sister, Squeaks. She is heartbroken without her big Brother. We will cherish the memories of his silly & sweet soul. He was always there to comfort us. He is now in peace, watching over us. Sleep in peace forever, sweet boy. We miss you every day.

We love and miss you very much, Key!

Our Gizmo…you could not have been more loved. ‘Kick it!’ 💕

Our family rescued Fonzi from Adopt-a-Dog Shelter in Armonk, NY. Fonzi came from a litter of puppies. The original puppy we applied for was already adopted and the shelter said Fonzi was still available. It was the most serendipitous adoption. We are forever thankful for that turn of events. Because of it, we had the greatest protector, confidante, walking partner, and all around best buddy.

Fonzi (aka Buddy) loved to chase rabbits & squirrels. He loved going on walks and hiking through the woods. He loved bananas, watermelon, pizza crust, and ice cream treats. Fonzi loved his crinkle toys and taking long naps. He loved car rides. He loved being petted and brushed. He loved a good butt scratch. Most importantly, our Buddy loved us and we loved him. He was a good boy…the best.

Thank you to Buffalo and Beyond for helping us ease his pain and lay our dear buddy to rest peacefully in his favorite spot.

Bella had been sick for quite some time. At 10 and a half, this rescue girl had been there for the hardest and also the best times of my life.

When her health took a turn for the worst this past winter we prayed and asked that she be there to run in her new yard in our new house. She made it. She chased kitties out of the yard, chased bubbles, went for many and many walks, and barked at All the neighbor dogs.

Then we asked her to please stay a little while longer to meet her sister Amelia. She made it. We got to have 3 months of family walks in the neighborhood, family photos, and lots of baby toe licks.

We will be utterly heartbroken for what seems like forever with a void nothing can replace. It’s true when you rescue a dog, they really rescue you. Somehow she always knew exactly what I needed from her and although I know she had a full life, the pain of losing a best friend is so hard.

Thank you to Buffalo & Beyond for giving our sweet Bella Bean the most respectful passing into puppy heaven we could have. We were able to be there with her by her side until her last moment.

We will miss you each and every day with every Bella Bean hair we find around the house - which I am sure will be forever and ever!

We were honored to call you our furbaby. You brought so much joy into our lives. We are going to miss you so much. RIP baby girl.

It took me a while to be able to write this and find the right words to say about our Rogue. There are no words to express what it's been like for us to lose such a perfect animal that truly brought so much joy to our lives.

I was 17 years old when I picked Rogue out of a box with his siblings he was 8 weeks old. He was the runt a little dopey and fell asleep with his head in the bowl while trying to eat. At 17 years old I vowed to protect him and give him the best life he deserved. Little did I know he wasn't the one who needed saving but it was me and if it weren't for him my life decisions would have looked different. He was with me during the worst times in my life but also there for all the great times in my life.

Rogue was the best and I'm not saying that because he was my dog but because he truly was the best. He was great with all animals, with kids, and in the house. He was our gentle giant, the leader of the pack, our old man! 13 years is a long time to be loved by an animal but I truly wish animals lived longer so we could love them that much harder. Our hearts will be forever broken and our house will never be the same but remembering him and the memories and his bat ears flopping while running through the woods always sideways make it a little easier.
We love you forever and always old man! You made such an impact to so many people! We all miss you and love you so much Rogue! Thank you for 13 beautiful years baby. We will never forget you.
Job well done Rogue!

Endo came into our lives at the age of 9. We never knew how much joy he would bring us. He co-habited with 3 cats, one of them who loved Endo with head rubs and cleaning. As Endo began to age, we had to start putting reusable diapers on him. Each day going through six or so diapers. At the end of his life we were spoon- feeding him….never once did we complain.

Endo will always be everyone’s favorite old dog…and will forever be known not just as a dog “…but a boy with a dog face!” ❤️💔 Fly high, Endo-Bendo! 🌈 We will miss you terribly!!!!

My love, Rosie, Sophia how do I say an honor for you. The day I gotchu was one of the best days of my life. I found you at Dessin shelter with someone had given you away just fell in love with you the first time I saw you you were a Christmas present to me from one of my daughters. I took you home December 28 and made that your birthday because they had no knowledge of where you came from from that day on you and I are the best friends ever. Became my everything to me. I just moved into the house three months before so there was just you and I, just filled my life up with everything I needed. We weren’t as pet and owner. We were best friends soulmates I knew early on you were so it tuned was sensitive to everything and had your certified as an emotional, service pet we did everything together. Went everywhere together I spent everyone of my moments that I had with you. My bed was your bed. My life was your life I never in 1 million years. Thought you leave me so soon. I went through Cancer twice and you were there for me you were my strength, you are my hope now as I wait to see my future you’re gone. Ironically you die from cancer. My heart is broken in two my life is forever changed. It’s been a week today. I want you to know that I love and miss you with all my heart wait for me please I wanna see you at the rainbow bridge. I hope you are running free enjoying whatever you have up there. I just know mommy‘s gonna be there someday and when I come up I want to be with you again. Maybe my mom and dad have you right now maybe my son has you right now just watch over me, I know that every day of my life I’m thinking of you and that I love you.

Forever in our hearts our sweet boy. You have brought so much joy into our lives, you truly were a gentle giant. You were our Happiest hello and Hardest goodbye. Love you forever
9/29/2019-8/26/2023

Our beloved Abby may be gone, but her memory will certainly continue on. I took this special girl in "just to foster" 10 years ago. Well needless to say she touched my heart back then, never left and became an official member of our family.

I cannot thank Dr. Victoria enough for being so kind, patient and compassionate during that time. Rest easy girl until we meet again.

Our beloved Shadow, thank you for being with us for over 15 years. We missed you so much, you are forever in our hearts. Goodbye our love. Until we meet again.

When I adopted Norma, a comment I received frequently was, “No way will you be able to resist calling her Norma Jean!” Resist, I didn’t. In fact, Norma became Norma Jean, Norma Jean Bean, Norma Jean Bean McQueen, Norma J. Bean, NJB, Norma Jean Junglecat Bean, Miss Norma J. Bean, Normie. Norma, however, presumably deaf for the entirety of our three years together, preferred to be acknowledged with a clap of the hands, a round of applause to honor how fabulous she was. Norma was the star, and perhaps a bit of a diva as well. When she wanted our attention, we would receive “the business,” a sassy, half-bark, stomp-on-the-ground-with-her-short-Basset-legs approach to reminding us that Norma always got what Norma wanted.

In the mere 1,017 days we had together, it was an honor to provide Norma with everything she desired. She had the combined personality of a Basset and her presumed mix, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever; what a combination that was. She loved long walks (“boot camps'') in the countryside. Norma loved all types of treats, but she would put on a show for a Greenie’s bone. Norma also loved her morning trips to her private water bowl, pumpkin night, turn down service, time with her couch buddy, keeping watch over the staircase railing, and copious pets from my mother, another of her best friends.

Norma’s life for the last three years was magnificent, and it had a special fullness thanks to her canine companion, Beethoven. The two pups were sniffing partners, confidants, co-schemers, protectors of each other, and absolute best friends. Their affection for each other was a lovely and powerful force. From sleeping butt-to-butt on the couch, licking each other, and demonstrating an unbreakable solidarity, it became clear that perhaps the only connection that could rival the one between human and dog is the one between two pups. Beethoven will miss Norma forever.

Throughout our days together, Norma was my shadow, and she never once failed to remind me that the best and most meaningful time in my life was Norma time. At the end of our days together, I couldn’t help but lament, “There just wasn’t enough time.”

Somewhere at the foot of the Rainbow Bridge, Norma has met Bonnie and Fred, and instead of lamenting, I bet they are exuding gratitude. While the void will persist, I will honor Norma by doing the same. I am grateful, eternally, for the time when Norma was mine on earth, and the memories of her spunk, joy, and love will carry me forward until we meet again. I love you, Norma Jean.

Jack was an energetic and enthusiastic Cavalier. He loved playing with his ball and defending our house from squirrels, deer, turkey, and most of all bears. He loved his meals and sitting on my lap. We miss him very much.

Kurt watched over us for 12 years. Our loyal and constant companion. He's left behind a huge void in our lives. Many thanks to Dr. Victoria for giving him a peaceful and stress free exit. ❤️

You are loved and missed,
more each day.

Max was my best friend for 15 years. He was always by my side through so many ups and downs in my life...there to celebrate the happy times and to lay by me when I needed some extra love.
Max was truly his own dog. He always knew what he wanted and made it very clear to everyone what he didn't want (especially a bath!) He was as stubborn as could be. However Max had the uncanny ability to know when you needed him the most.
Max made us laugh every day...especially when he would see another dog or a child on the television. He would bark and growl at the screen until it went away.
Max was so loved by us all and we miss him tremendously. There will never be another like him. He has left with a piece of all of our hearts. We love you Mackie Boy.

Deebo was my first dog that I got when I moved out on my own. It was a learning experience for both of us but he was my best friend and rock through many situations. He made my life better every day (although he was stubborn at times) and truly made my house feel like a "home". I will miss him every day but I'm extremely thankful for the time we shared. He's playing ball with my dad now and I find peace in that.

My Basia was the love of our lives from the moment we saw her picture as a puppy. She was the most loving and loyal dog anyone can ask for. She will be missed and never ever forgotten. We love you Basia and know you are at peace and no suffering!!!!

We miss our buddy so much, he was the best dog ever ❤️

RIP Misfit. You were the best cat ever! You sure will be missed! I couldn't even make my coffee in the morning until she had her canned food. Lol She had to have that first! I'm going to miss her routine. I know you crossed rainbow bridge and are free of pain! We all love you Misfit!

We've been struggling to write this because it means admitting you're gone. We lost you so suddenly the devastation is nearly impossible to describe. You were the joy and love that got us out of bed every morning and it's so hard to start another day knowing you're not here.
You came into our lives 6 years ago in July of 2017 as our adopted child from AWSOM. Those first few days you seemed apprehensive but that quickly faded and you knew this was your forever home. In the morning, we woke up petting your soft fur and looking at your beautiful face while you laid in bed with us and we drank our coffee. You needed us to scratch your ear and back just so until you arched and sneezed setting your day off right.
Days were spent with your girlfriend, Molly. You liked mooching food at every meal and looking for cheese every time we opened the refrigerator drawer. You were the number 1 cheese lover affectionately known as "cheese dog 1" and, of course, Molly was "cheese dog 2". When you had your fill, you liked to sun yourself on the deck or porch regardless of the temperature. Occasionally, Molly would get the zoomies and you would chase each other around the yard. Then, you needed a nap but always laying against or touching Molly. She truly misses you.

In the afternoon, you were always there to greet us at the door with love and a smile. You were quick to tell us when you wanted dinner because nobody danced like you. With you belly full, it was time to snuggle on the couch with us and your favorite blue pillow to relax after a long day. You made sure we knew it was bedtime by pawing and barking until we slowly made our way upstairs to tuck you in just the way you liked.
You loved spending time with your big brother and big sister. When your big sister came over, you would play with her children and constantly be by her husband's side. You even tried getting in the car to leave with them more than once. Your big brother was the one who found you and brought you to us. We are forever grateful. He and his fiance were always there to take care of you while we were away and you loved them both so much. You also loved to hear the wonderful and quirky songs your mom made up to sing to you. Your dad simply referred to you as "the bestest".
Although we couldn't take you everywhere with us, you loved to go camping - our co-pilot looking forward to each adventure. When you weren't barking to remind us to take you to the dog park or out for your endless walks, you loved to snooze on the couch. When we set our for adventure in the car, your head was always peeking through to the armrest from the back seat so you could be right there with us. Your favorite was Ocean City, MD and the boardwalk at Isle of Wight where you and Molly were able to run free.
Even though it broke our hearts to watch you go, we were thankful to be there for your final moments. Like you did so often before, you looked right into our eyes to tell us how much you loved us and how happy you were to be home.
The Bible doesn't say if we will meet again in Heaven but Our Loving Father sees our grief and hopefully grants us this because we need to know we'll see you again to spend forever in our new home with you. So, Kiba Bear, this is not "goodbye". This is just until we meet again. Until that wonderful day, we hold you in our hearts, memories and dreams forever.

Dr. Victoria helped our beautiful boy exit this world peacefully and pain free. He will be greatly missed as he was a tremendous part of our lives. Snowball was the sweetest, gentlest dog I have ever known. We are so great full to Buffalo and Beyond for helping our Snow and our family in this difficult time.

My bestest buddy...

Go swim and chase sticks all day long up there my boy. You took a piece of all our hearts with you...You will be missed forever ❤️

I could not possibly describe in a brief message my feelings for my beloved pet. He was my constant protector and companion for 18 years. Simply stated he loved me fiercely and I returned that love until his last breath.

The moment I first I saw you as a baby puppy our hearts connected as one. It was love at first sight. My heart was full when you choose me to be your mommy. You were always there through the good and bad while licking my tears away when needed. I’m so fortunate to have had you for 13 wonderful years. The day I lost you I also lost me. It brings me comfort you are no longer suffering anymore( you were so strong till the end). Keep great grandma & great grandma kitty company, I know you’ll take great care of them. You’re my baby and always will be. One day we will be united and I can’t wait for the slobbery kisses and my favorite wiggle butt. I love you to the moon and back Baby Baluga. I’ll see you later alligator
Love always,
Mommy & Momma Katie

To our dear darling, our family’s very first feline family member that held it all together with all of your canine and feline brothers and sisters for the last 18 years. You’ve been through it all with all of us. We love you dearly and you will be missed so much! You will forever be part of our hearts. Thank you Dessin Animal Rescue for providing us with a precious gift of our darling Misty. You are home now baby, rest easy sweet girl! We love you so much!

-your forever family

Our darling loving, quirky and smart sweet girl, you were so loved and we miss you so very much. Darling girl, you were a one of a kind! I miss your companionship, watching you sniff the yard for that chipmunk and hearing your muffled bark as you yell at it with your nose stuffed in his chipmunk hole. You are free now to do your tail spins and run, run, run!!!

I will always love you my sweet girl.

Love you forever, Mommy

It was my honor to have been your mother for the last 16 1/2 years. I was a young 22 year old girl when I picked you up from a farm. I could never have imagined we would spend all these years together with roadtrips and belly rubs, pool days and photoshoots. You were my best friend, my son and my everything ❤️ #Keefechronicles

You loved us unconditionally and taught us to be better people over the last 10 years. We will never forget you and the impact you had on all our lives. You will forever be the Queen of Laflin walks and we thank you for all the love you’ve provided us over the years. We love you Boo Boo Lover, Boo Boo Best Friend!

Lucy, better known as “Doopie” by her family, was the best dog ever! She was a spunky pug who loved her family very much. It was love on her own terms, when she wanted love and not when her family wanted to love her. We love you Doopie and will miss you very much. You were always there with us whether we were just sitting watching tv or taking a trip to the bathroom. We will forever miss your feisty bark, tip tap of your nails on the floor and your array of breathing sounds. You will forever be a part of our family and will live on in our hearts with fond memories.

Our Miesh..."dolly", "big head", "Tatiana" is home, our hearts are empty. You were the gentleness giant! Remember our talks and make sure you check in. You are never away from our hearts. We love and miss you.
Mom, Dad, Brother and Scottie

Bailey entered our lives the day after Christmas, 13 years ago. She was the smartest girl with the sassiest spirit. A true “family dog”, but clearly loved my mom more than anyone else in the household. That being said, she was there when I packed to go to college, she was there when I got accepted into veterinary school and she was there when I accepted my first job as a vet. If she were to speak, I bet she would say she was the reason I chose the career path I did. And she would be right.

Bailey was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure 2.5 years ago. She’s had numerous cardiac consults, she’s been on 8 different medications and she has gotten, what we call “bonus years”, because of them.

This morning, my mom called saying Bailey was ready. I have since relocated from the area, but thankfully knew about Buffalo and Beyond. I called on a Saturday while driving frantically home and could not be more grateful that Dr. Sverduk was willing to help. Pets are family members and I wanted to be with my family during this goodbye.

Dr. Sverduk, thank you for answering your phone on a Saturday. Thanks for allowing me to be with family during a difficult goodbye. Thank you for being so understanding as a pet mom and a colleague. I couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful send off for my girl. She hated the vet office and I knew she wanted to be at home for her final moments. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough, but we are so grateful to you and your team. Rest easy my sweet Bailey. Run across the rainbow bridge and be forever at peace. 🌈❤️

You'll forever be remembered as my walking buddy.

Love and miss you forever ❤️

You were the best Jeterdog! We love you!

Thank you for all the love and chaos you have filled our lives with over the last 13 years. You were my best friend and never left my side when I needed you. We will miss you terribly but I know you are free of pain from this world. I love my sweet boy, until we meet again. ❤️

Dr. Victoria and staff were amazing. Our Bella was suffering and she came that very morning! We were heartbroken but she made the terrible situation bearable. We love you Bella and know you are ok and running now!

They say angels walk among us and I can honestly say Dr. Victoria Sverduk was ours. She was so compassionate, caring and gentle with our beloved Tark. He was my sunshine ( I would sing that song to him) every waking hour. He will never be forgotten and neither will she. Thank god for people like Buffalo & Beyond. 🐾

Your spirit and strength lives on in our hearts. You taught us more about trust and forgiveness than any lesson ever could. May you find all the best safe places in the next realm. We love you forever. xoxo

Oh our sweet "minner monster". You were the absolute best friend our girls could have ever had. Such a sweet, silly soul. You will be so very missed mini. We love you, rest easy baby.

Thank you to Buffalo & Beyond Veterinary Services. The home service you provides is absolutely incredible. No stress for our sweet baby at the end ❤️

We love you and miss you so much. But we know you are now at peace and keeping Charlie company in heaven. Thank you for all the love you’ve given us through the years.

Faith, your spirit filled our house with love and loyalty. You will always be in our hearts 🐾❤️🐾

I will love you and miss you forever. Thank you for the best 16 years ❤️

You were loved more than you know, sleep peacefully baby boy 💙 Love Mom, Dad, Russell, Michael & Zachary.

Love and miss you

Gunner will be missed beyond words. He was energetic and had the most expressive eyes. He loved walks and playing with his favorite ball. He was very patient with his fur brothers and sisters. Often waiting in line to get a drink. He almost reached his 13 birthday which was old for a big boxer. He will always have a special place in our hearts.

When I was in college, I dreamed of having this giant, beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog that would be my best friend. I talked about this “dream dog” daily. Fantasies can often leave us disappointed, because reality does not always coincide with marvelous wishes. But.....I got lucky. On July 7, 2013, a beautiful sunny morning, I was gifted with something far more beautiful and wondrous than I could have ever imagined; I found another piece of my soul. From the second Thor walked up and looked right at me, I knew we had been together before. I’ll never be able to put into words all that he was.

Even as a puppy, his old soul was so apparent. He’d sit in the backyard and look at the sky as if he knew there was so much more to all of this. I’ve witnessed so many beautiful sunrises and sunsets with him by my side. He had the most expressive, human eyes.

He suffered with digestive issues as a puppy (until we figured out some allergies), and he would come right to the bed and put his paw on my arm to lightly wake me whenever he was feeling sick. He would do this for the rest of his life – if he needed me I’d wake up to a soft paw on my arm, as if he felt so bad to wake me up, but just had to. Again, I can never fully explain it, but we understood each other without words. On puppy graduation day, we played a game and broke all the records, including the one the trainer held with her own dog. His eyes never left mine and I didn’t even have to ask him for the next move – he knew as soon as I knew – then and always.

Much like me, Thor loved adventure. On vacation, he’d run to every bed and test them out, just like a kid! He loved riding in the car, no matter where we ended up. He may not have been a rescue, but every rescue dog that has come through this home in the past 9 years was able to because of him. He was calm and steadfast in all situations, no matter what was going on around him. He was our rock. Occasionally, he’d throw me an eye roll, as if to say “Ugh – again!?”, but then he’d get right down to it to help me.

He was larger than life. He’d “talk” over someone if they were talking too much for his liking, and he got such an obvious kick out of it. He was the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen, and a gentle giant in the truest sense. He loved “stuffies” and took the best care of them. He loved cozy blankies just as much as he loved romping through the snow. He was always so brave, no matter what he was up against. Even in the very end, when he suddenly became paralyzed in his back end, he put his paw on my knee and looked me straight in the eyes to let me know it was going to be okay.

Last Thursday, doctors at Penn Vet discovered that Thor had an aggressive cancer that had attacked his spinal cord, and one of my worst nightmares became a reality. I brought him home and we watched the most beautiful sunset together. On Friday we spent the day in the sunshine. He ate steak and hot dogs, cuddled stuffies, and fell asleep for the last time eating chocolate ice cream from Mannings with my arms wrapped around him, in the same way we’ve taken many a nap together through the years. Honestly, I thought for sure my heart would stop when his did. Instead, mine kept pumping blood through my veins and my soul split right in two ❤️‍🩹

I feel you in every ray of sunshine and hear you whenever the wind blows, but it’s still not enough. I can't believe I live on this earth without you now. Thanks for proving that magic does indeed exist. You will forever be my greatest dream come true. Love you always, my Thorbie bear. 🐾💙

My "heart dog"...my soul mate.

Chuck you will be missed. We will see you again at the rainbow Bridge. You were our best friend and part of the family. We love you. Thank you Dr. Victoria for making it a very peaceful passing.

Poco was a rescue dog from Puerto Rico. He was rescued by Pets Alive in Middletown, NY and adopted by Peter & Margaret Dietrich in 2014. We had many good years and walks with Poco who was always sniffing and trying to cahse squirrels. He will be greatly missed.

Today our baby boy passed over the rainbow bridge to meet his brother Niko, this was not a lighthearted decision, but something our immediate family felt was made in the best interest of Kody. Dr Victoria is an angel to our pups and we will forever be grateful to her for her compassion and love during this difficult time.

Harley,
We will never forget you. You were the protector of our home and children for 15 years. You were our Best Friend, Our Baby Boy. We saved you from abuse and neglect as a 6 week old pup, and we had to save you from suffering at the end. You were ready and even though we weren’t, we knew that we had to let you walk over the rainbow bridge to be free from pain. We imagine you running, jumping, and playing happily, wearing the gold chain and cross your boys placed around your neck, and living your best after life until we meet again. This was the hardest decision we have ever had to make but we know it was the best decision. Our family will never be the same, our hearts will always have a missing piece, our home will always be a little empty because you were sure a huge part of it all.
Until we meet again, we will miss you every single day.
We love you our old boy, you are irreplaceable.
Rest easy Big Guy, job well done

Princess was a rescue, the best decision I ever made. Besides being my best friend, your were loyal, protective, smart, sweet, gentle and loved unconditionally. You communicated so well, you always had to have the last word. I’m going to miss watching you open gifts, no matter whose gift it was you wanted to open it. At Christmas when you opened your gift you would then take your toy in mouth and parade it around the room. You brought so my joy, love, security and comfort to me and family. You will always be the best dog ever and forever my sunshine. I miss and love you! ♥️

Ferris, you were the best friend a girl could ever hope for. Mommy will miss you so much! I hope Gramma is giving you all you can eat bologna in heaven! 💗

Bella we love you and will miss you forever. You were the best loving pup. 🐶💕

For 15 years you were my best friend and companion. Until we meet again, good girl, Mama loves you.

On March 31, 2023 the most special, most ferocious and most handsome Sheltie boy crossed rainbow bridge, our Lyle, our LyLy, our LyGuy.

Lyle was the most loyal protector to my mother for the first 5 years of his life. A job he took seriously and where he mastered all his special spoiled habits. Upon her passing, he relocated to our home and continued his rein as the “special sheltie” while healing our broken hearts.

Lyle was well known for all his quirks. He preferred quiet time at home in his cubby or on the couch. Never a fan of making new friends or going places, he always politely declined the invitation. Car rides and walks did not spark joy for him. Cookies and snacks were the highlight of his day.

Sometimes shy and nervous but always sweet, the definition of a good boy.

Lyle was fiercely opposed to vacuums and hair dryers. He proudly protested the hair dryer even during his final hours with us. Proof he spent his last day pursuing his passion.

Lyle was never a fan of goodbyes. A true herding dog, he was adamant about keeping his herd together and diligently protested whenever we left the house. Lyle was never afraid to use his voice - our neighborhood will be a little quieter now. He enjoyed running around his yard and chasing birds.

Lyle was a loving role model to his puppy brother Teddy, teaching him all the perks of being a spoiled sheltie. Lyle also leaves behind his two pet cats, Smokey and Rory and his step dog brother, Dozer.

Lyle made life better. All dogs make life better.

While there is an ache in our hearts for the missing piece of our family, we are grateful for the 8 happy years we spent with Lyle. We find comfort in knowing his pain was brief.

As the sun rose on June 21, 2014, I waited in a parking lot of a travel stop 2 hours away to meet my first ever “FOSTER” dog. As the van pulled up, a few people emerged from nearby cars to wait for the dogs to unload. The first dog off was a portly white polar bear, and she DRAGGED her volunteer right to me. The volunteer laughed and apologized as the polar bear shoved her head between my knees. “Sorry! This is Tamra! She’s looking for Angela!” I laughed and explained that I was, in fact, Angela. “Whoa! It’s like she knew who she was looking for!”, she said, and handed her over.

“Tamra” rode home with her head in my lap, and we passed three rainbows on the ride home…and my heart truly smiled for the first time in a while. My Nana had passed away four weeks ago and I had been sitting in the deepest funk, unable to pull out. I had come across a Facebook post about a rescue in desperate need of fosters and applied on a whim.

"Tamra" became Nala and she has reigned Queen of this home ever since; our fiercely loyal, most loving guardian. She was absolutely fearless (of all things except shiny floors). One morning, when I was with her in the backyard, she started snarling and charged behind me. I turned around to find a black bear running straight at me. (It was scared from crossing the road and I don’t even think it truly knew I was there – but that meant nothing to Nala.) She charged that bear head on and it turned right around and RAN, with Nala close behind, snarling the whole way. (I chased after, while having a heart attack).

Nala Bug loved nothing more than laying on the porch – no matter the weather – and guarding her domain (preferably with one of her favorite humans next to her, so she could paw them endlessly if they dared stop petting her). If you’ve met her, you’ve been “Pyr pawed” by her – guaranteed. She adored her doggy brothers (and kept them in line… when needed). She was such a gentle giant and sat with the biggest smile whenever little humans would use her as a pillow, especially her JJ.

She could hear a squirrel a mile away, but somehow couldn’t hear me call her to come inside when it was snowing. She would often stare right at me, and then plunge her head into the snow, as if I couldn’t see her that way. Snow made her a puppy again, and in a way, it seems fitting that she left this world in the last snow storm of the season.

She had the most precious little snore when she was in a deep sleep…and this polar bear peacefully snored away for the last time on 3/14, just two months shy of her 15th birthday. She was a brave fighter until the very end and has left the biggest hole in our hearts. We’ll miss you forever, Mama Nala. Thanks for teaching us all so much and making me the crazy rescue lady I am today. Thanks for saving me…in more ways than one We love you always, our Nala Bear.

**There are no words to fully describe our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Sverduk, who has been there for us in our times of need over the past few years. She has been an Angel in our life and we are so thankful such an amazing human is here in NEPA to help beloved furbabies gain their Angel wings.

Our bestest boy, Moose 💙

7.5 years of loving his big goofy self. The best little spoon. His bounces and smiles will be missed forever. Moose loved to sun bathe, so every time the sun shines on the porch we’ll know it’s him.

Dakota was our first child. A long haired Chihuahua, he came into our lives shortly after our wedding. From that day on he filled our hearts with love, our souls with joy and our house with hair. For nearly 15 years he was a cherished member of our family. He loved to go for rides, get McDonalds for breakfast, lay in the sun on the porch and go camping. He was such a proud little guy and loyally followed us anywhere we went with him. While our home will never feel the same, knowing he is now pain free and at peace brings relief to us. We love you so much buddy. We can’t wait to see you again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Prince you were the best dog ever. We were so lucky to rescue you15 years ago. You were so smart and loving. You amazed us on how you could pick out your christmas presents from under the tree and know exactly which grocery bag held your new toy. You were the sweetest boy and best friend. Rest in peace Prince. We love you so much, miss you terribly and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Nico was intelligent and kind- such a sweet and gentle soul. Her understanding of human speech was uncanny. She loved to run on her 13 acres and lay on her couch. No one could ask for a better friend.

Zoey filled our hearts with love and joy for 12 years. The kindest, gentlest and most loving dog I’ve ever been blessed to be around.

I will never forget the journey to Lancaster to pick you up when you were a little 8 week old puppy. I knew instantly as you sat in my lap that you were meant to be part of the family. Everyone immediately fell in love with you and you returned that love tenfold until your gentle passing into puppy Heaven.

Our hearts are broken. Just looking around at your empty bed, looking behind my and not seeing you following me and not hearing your tags jingle as you prance around the house causes such a void in our hearts.

I will cherish the love and companionship you provided to us for ever. I could not have asked for a better best friend in this life. I’m grateful I had the chance to hold you up until the very end and comfort you during the last hours.

We love you so much Zoey, and we will miss you every single day for the rest of our lives. I hope you are happy, pain free and sitting up in Heaven with Nanny right now.

After 15 years of having our boy, ❤️ TONY ❤️ It was time to cross over the Rainbow Bride and say goodbye
He was at home with all of us by his side. Buffalo & Beyond Veterinary Services, PLLC was beyond incredible.
They came to our home and helped him pass in the most peaceful manner. He got to be with us until the end. Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my sweet boy.

My heart is broken. On February 23, I had to say goodbye to my beloved pet.

“It is impossible to forget a dog that gave you so much to remember.”

Kaylee (KK), from the moment you came into my life almost sixteen years ago, you became my “child” and family. My world revolved around you. You were the sweetest and gentlest little girl. You provided me with so much love and companionship.

My precious Baby Girl, you were my best friend, and you will remain by my side and in my heart forever. Everywhere I look…you are there. The memories of you and all we did together are endless. I was so blessed to have you and all the happiness you brought into my life. While I may have taken care of you, you took care of me in so many ways. You were with me through everything. Looking at your cute face and cuddling with you, always helped to make every day brighter. Just having you near provided a comfort.

Kaylee, you were such a huge part of me, and I cherish every moment we spent together. I feel lost, and I miss you terribly. The house is so empty. I look outside, and I know that spending time in the yard will never be the same without you.

You are now with our loved ones and my other fur babies in heaven. We will be together again, sweet girl. Until then, I will always have you in my heart, and I’ll never stop missing you. My life won’t be the same without my Kaylee. Thank you for always being by my side and loving me. My heart will forever wear the pawprints left by you.

Rest In Peace, my beautiful KK. I love you! 🐾❤️🐾

“I know that you can’t see me,
but trust me, I’m right here.
Although I’m up in heaven,
my love for you stays near.
I will always be by your side
and in your heart.”

🐾💕🐾

Kasey was the king of the castle, vibrant and full of life. He loved to tease the dogs and beg for a piece of cheese any time he could. His favorite toy was a rainbow ribbon, he loved to be picked up and held. He commanded respect and he sure got it. He made our household brighter and we're eternally grateful to have been blessed with his love all these years. He'll continue to be loved for an eternity.

Brady, more affectionately known as “B,” was the sweetest, kindest, friendliest dog who gave nothing but unconditional love. He simply loved to love us and made our house a home. His only fault is that he couldn’t be with us forever.
I am convinced that a dog is one of the greatest joys in life. Their love is constant and unchanged. Brady was there every step of the way. Always wagging his tail. Always ready to play. Always full of happiness. Our big, friendly, furry, funny muppet dog spent his whole time making us happy.
Thank you, Brady, for choosing us to be your people. Thank you for being the first piece of our family. Thank you for 12 unforgettable years. I hope we made you as happy as you made us. We will miss you, our dear doodle dog. Love you forever and ever.

The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done?
For this–last battle–can’t be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don’t let grief then stay your hands,
For this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn’t want me to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me to where my needs they’ll tend,
Only, stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree,
It is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don’t grieve that it must be you,
Who has to decide this thing you do.
We’ve been so close–we two–these years,
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
— Author Unknown

Forever you will be in my heart, I love you.
Rest easy my girl.

Lexi, we miss you so much. You gave us such love and such fun memories for so very long and the hole is so big without you. I like to believe you're running pain-free and easily over that rainbow bridge. We love you. You were a gift in our life and will forever be remembered. XOXO

Since the first moment we took Titan home all he wanted to do was be by our side. We called him out lil shadow. Wherever we went he wanted to go too. He didn’t need a leash, he would always stay near, no matter what or who was around. He would check back on us to make sure we were there all the time. He was most loyal, protective, and bestest friend! He loved his family fully and unconditionally. He loved his furry brothers and his most favorite snack, CARROTS!!! He was the kindest soul. He hated car rides and never wanted to be too far from home. Even when going for walks he would be eager to go home after a little while. He would let us know by looking up as to say, OK, ready to head back now, got to make sure all is good at home. He tolerated the car ride going to grandpa’s house because he loved visiting with grandpa to run around his big yard. He will be missed terribly!! Papa’s boy! We love you forever and ever. Rest easy darling. Say hello to Max, Bismarck, and Zeus baby. We will see you soon!

Sweet Kittone was our brave and beautiful, sweet girl. She loved a sunny window, bird watching, stray bug hunting and bothering our boy cat, Rudy, just for fun. Her love for us is irreplaceable. She made our house a home and our hearts forever hers. Miss you sweet girl.

From the day we brought Murphy home from the farm where he was born among the cows (and he smelled like a cow) he became an instant part of our family for which we are forever grateful for the 13 years he gave us his unconditional loyalty and love. We know we gave Murphy a good home but he gave us so much more.

Coco you were the best girl any family could ask for! You attended every rescue event and made people fall in love with billy breed type dogs. I will never find another best friend like you. I love you with all i have my sweet girl! Rest easy Coco Chanel 🌈

Ozzy, old man, Ozzyboy, Oswald, Ozareenie, I wish it wasn’t like this. In the words of Benny, you are my “best best!” Oh how a four year old can put feelings into words. You were, by far, the best furbaby. I never expected to have you sleeping in bed with me, much less, under the covers. You were my constant couch buddy. Mostly pressed up right next to me but usually laying on me. If not, some part of you had to be touching me, even if it was just a claw. I’ll never forget our walks and adventures. You just wanted to keep going. Now you’re free to soak up all the sun you want, keep walking in one direction and never have to turn around. And you can chase those pesky squirrels away all day. You will have all the treats you can ask for and eat whatever you want without getting a belly ache. I know how much you love pizza crust but you weren’t allowed to have it. Now you can have all you want. You will never be able to be replaced in my heart. You were one of a kind. I’m thankful you found me and that I was in the right place at the right time to rescue you. You were three then and you turned 13 on January 10. What a wonderful 10 years I had with you. Thank you for being there. I miss you so much with my whole being already. My heart will never be the same. And over the rainbow bridge you go. 💜🐾

From the moment they put Penny in our arms at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, we knew that she was our dog.
As the days went by, we fell in love with her, lived for her, and took her everywhere with us. Some of our fondest memories of Penny are of the days we spent hiking, canoeing, and camping, and watching her explore the world. On our first hike, we were amazed when our 15-pound dog went almost 11 miles and climbed two peaks like a mountain goat! We loved camping with her and snuggling in the tent like one big wolf pack. Penny was at her happiest when she was walking or hiking and sniffing literally everything along the way. Everywhere we went, people asked to pet Penny, and they would all exclaim “Oh my gosh, she’s so soft!” She made everyone smile with her lively spirit and sassy attitude. She filled our home with love and laughter and coming home to see her was the best part of each day.

Penny was a great cuddler and gave hugs that would melt your heart. She was always there to greet us at the door, would get the zoomies when we came home, and was our little shadow around the house. She loved being with us and we loved being with her. She truly was our best friend.

Penny, words cannot describe how much we miss you. You were a once-in-a-lifetime dog, and we will love you forever. We’ll think of you every time we eat tater tots, every time we take a hike, every time we explore a place that you would’ve loved, and every time we find one of your hairs stuck to our clothes. We are so very grateful that we found you that day at the shelter. Thank you so much for being our dog!

Until we meet again sweet girl, we’ll keep you in our hearts.

Chase was the best dog we could ever have wanted and more, he was gentle & loving, he loved everyone & he loved company. The years we had Chase, he gave us so much love & joy. He was the best dog ever, may you rest in peace, Chase!

I love you more than words can say and will miss you every minute of every day. ❤️

Thirteen years was not nearly enough time with our sweetest girl Luna. We raised her from a puppy and she truly was our best friend. I take comfort in knowing that her pain was brief and blessed to have had Dr Victoria come to our home to make us all at ease. My dear Luna-You loved us for all of your life and we shall miss you for the rest of ours. 🐾

Bart was the best! He started out as a scared (couldn’t walk on the wood floor, or up stairs) puppy who chewed everything ( rocks, sticks, dirt, lightbulbs, furniture,etc) and matured into a confident, lovable, loving companion. We miss him dearly, but we are so grateful to B and B for their services so that we could see Bart off in a comfortable environment.

RIP my Lucky. You were my best buddy

Penny, the first time we saw you, you were tied to a small airplane that belonged to a private pilot from Pilots for Paws. You literally FLEW INTO OUR lives! And we are forever grateful to ABC Basset Hound Rescue for bringing you into our lives.
And when we said goodbye to you, you got your own wings, Godspeed to the Rainbow Bridge, and you probably raised a ruckus upon your arrival!

You were the most spirited dog ever! You defended me against a coyote, fearlessly and devotedly loved your family. You were defiant and very loud, always spoke your mind. And those beautiful ears of yours. Such much love and laughter and noise!

You will be forever in our hearts, life will not be the same without you. We will always hold you in our hearts, my beautiful girl. Until we meet again. ❤️

Spike was adopted from Blue Chip at age 7. He’s was so friendly and outgoing. He loved everyone he met. He was a silly boy, who used to loved running and hiking in his younger years. And as he got older loved to be taken absolutely everywhere we went. He will be very missed by everyone including his 4 cat brothers, especially by his best friend Freckles.

To my sweet, beautiful boy, Blaze,

You were my very first cat! When you were first found, practically frozen to the ground, I didn’t know if you were going to make it. But with the help of many, and except for your frostbitten teddy bear ears 🥰, you were made whole again. And with courage and strength you pulled through.

People always asked me if you were part Maine Coon because you were such a big cat, or said you were the biggest cat they ever saw! That did make you even more unique, but never mattered to me, because you were always going to be my once in a lifetime special guy!

Your laid back attitude and acceptance to your feline and canine brothers and sisters paved the way for many other fur kids to come into my life. And even inspired me to help with cat rescue. You were an amazing foster brother, always so gentle, to every cat or kitten who spent time with us.

Every time I have shrimp fried rice, I will remember you begging for pieces of shrimp. And I’ll laugh thinking of you meowing at me for a piece of a potato chip. I’ll always cherish watching you sleep so contently on your back, with your big furry belly showing and not a care in the world. And how you kneaded away making “biscuits” before settling next to me on the couch for a snooze. There are so many memories of you that fill my heart. I was so blessed to have you in my life!

I know Nannie, Penny and your best buddy Rusty were waiting for you over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈, and that is where I will see you again someday. In the meantime, you will always be with me. Mommy loves and misses you so much ❤️

Charlie was our protector and best friend, and will forever be missed.

Anyone who has had a pet knows the death of a pet is a different type of grief. Animals are loving, innocent, and loyal in ways humans can't comprehend. Our cat, Bubba, had all of these traits and more; he brought endless joy to our family and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Bubba was part of our family for 17 years and comforted us in our hardest times. Pets are wonderful because they somehow can sense when we need extra love, even when we might not know it ourselves. Bubba made us smile and laugh by the way the interacted with the outdoors and the way he always drank water from the bath tub or pool. He loved watching the birds out the window and relax in the sunny spots in the house. No doubt Bubba is reunited with his best dog friend, Puma, on the other side and they're taking a nap together; they became best of friends during their lives together.

We will never forget Bubba and we will forever cherish all the times we had together. We know he will always be thinking of us too.

We are so grateful to Buffalo & Beyond for letting us spend Bubba's last moments in peace and comfort.

The Webster Family

Daisy will forever be in my heart, I miss you so much
You brought us so much happiness everyday! I miss kissing your little head and snuggling with you every day ❤️

Pinkett will be furever missed in our house. She was one of a kind beagle. We knew it was time, after courageously battling cancer, she told us, its time. We've gone through other pets going over the Rainbow Bridge. In the past, we have brought them to the vets. For Pinkett, we did something different. Pinkett was always skeptical and skittish and very fearful of going to the vets. I came across Buffalo & Beyond Veterinary Service. They are an at home service for your furry loved ones. They helped us feel at peace, they helped Pinkett feel at peace. She didn't have to get up from her favorite spot, her big bed. We were at peace, she was at peace, her Siblings were surrounding her with love and tears.
The house is a little quieter this morning. I hope you are bouncing, flipping, barking, howling up in heaven.
Thank you, Buffalo and Beyond

Tabby, Although you are gone, you will never be forgotten...You were the queen of the house for 17 awesome years & will be terribly missed. We know how much you loved life & especially your humans. Enjoy running free in Heaven, our Angel Girl :)

This service was such a blessing for me and Sophia. She was just a tiny little thing with a big, big heart, but loved to be home.

I would recommend this to anyone. Your prompt response and service was so appreciated at such a horrible time. The doctor was so kind and sweet. God bless.

Bailey I can’t describe how life feels without you !!!! You gave us so many years of joy and happiness. You were my best friend . I am lost without you but I will cherish our moments dearly !!! Mama Loves you Boo Boo!!! ❤️

Riley was so loved by everyone. The absolute sweetest dog around. He looked after everyone and always wanted to be where his “people” were.

Riley was loving and loyal, and didn’t have a mean bone in his body. He loved holidays, family camping trips, and swimming (though he wasn’t very good at it).

To say he will be missed is an understatement, but our family is so very grateful for the wonderful 17 years we had with the most perfect boy.

My husband and I had Lyla from 7 weeks old till we had to put her down. She would go with us everywhere and loved to go for came rides. We I’ll miss her till the day we die.

Bryson Mommy & Daddy will always love you.
Sissy (Lily) will forever be your sidekick. Thank you for giving us a love that will last forever in our hearts. R.I.P.
Our boy -love Mommy, Daddy & Sissy

Today we said goodbye to our beloved dog Marshall, aka Marshy & Marshmallow.
We feel privileged to have had him in our lives for 11 years. From an early age he had the uncanny ability to never disappoint. He greeted everyone (or tried) with a hug by gently putting his paws on your shoulder & leaning in for what became known as the "Marshy hug" …This even included the Fed Ex driver. He saved his wet, drool kisses for the grandkids, who he was always excited to see & who were also at the perfect height to receive these. At home he was a couch potato but in the field, this gentleman's dog was a force to be reckoned with, never missing to point out a bird in the bush. We will miss cuddling with him on the sofa, our daily walks, his gentle tapping on the door to be let back in & tapping on the door to be let back in & those big brown eyes that would melt your heart & also guarantee him a treat. It has been said that a dog's only fault is that they leave us all too soon & this was certainly true of Marshall. He will forever be in our hearts & in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh…..how lucky are we to have had something in our life that makes saying goodbye so hard.

We would like to thank Dr. Victoria from Buffalo & Beyond, who assisted Marshall & allowed him to experience a comfortable & peaceful death, lying on his favorite bed, on his favorite sofa, in front of the fire surrounded by his family who loved him so very much. Run free Marshy ❤️❤️❤️

Our sweet Tippy came to us as a foster in 2011. She had a badly broken leg that wouldn't heal. The rescue sent her for a surgical consult and it was agreed that the surgeon would try to repair her leg. After many weeks of nursing her, we finally received the good news that her leg had healed! After all of that, we decided we could not part with her and officially adopted her on May 8, 2011. She was a typical Chihuahua - sweet and lovable with her family but very wary of anyone she did not know. She loved her doggie sibling, Penny, dearly and was a good foster sister to the other dogs that we fostered throughout the years. When Tippy developed heart issues, we consulted a cardiologist and she improved with medication. Sadly, cancer reared it's ugly head and, despite our best efforts, she rapidly deteriorated. Dr. Sverduk graciously came out in the snow on a Sunday to ease our Tippy's pain. We miss our girl terribly and, although they never seemed to be bonded, her doggie sibling, Sassy, seemed lost without her for about a week but is coming around. We will never forget our sweet and determined girl.

As I said goodbye, I had to keep in mind how much you have given me over 14 years. Becoming a huggy Bear when I needed one and always judging me! Rest well my Chalupa and make sure you find Raffie and Ellle.

I live you and I’ll miss you every day

Love,
Mom

Lily was one of a kind and the best dog anyone could have asked for. The love she had for her family was fierce and unconditional. She was there for us through it all and we can’t thank her enough for the lifetime of love that she has shown us. There is nothing quite like a dogs love and they should live forever. Lily we will miss you soo much but we know you are running and free of pain from this world. Until we meet again my sweet girl.

My beloved Sophie passed peacefully on December 5, 2022, surrounded by family and snuggled in her favorite bed. Sophie was born in West Virginia, an abandoned puppy set to be euthanized with her littermates, when a series of events brought her to a rescue in Pennsylvania by the time she was 6 months old. From the moment I met her, that abandoned puppy became the most important thing in my entire world for the next 12 amazing years.

Sophie had the brains and beauty of a border collie with the nose and persistence of a beagle. She loved walks around her neighborhood and all of her favorite parks. She smelled every blade of grass she ever encountered. Brilliant and highly motivated by food and treats, Sophie proudly performed her many tricks for anyone that would watch. I would sometimes joke that I could’ve taught her to drive a car if her legs could reach the pedals.

Sophie loved spending time in her yard enjoying her daily chewy bones, running laps around the perimeter, digging holes, and chasing anything that dared to enter. She loved her squeaky toys and playing hide-and-seek around the house. She loved snuggles on the weekends and going “back to bed”. She loved car rides and quiet evenings at home. She was everything you could ever want a dog to be. She made all of the good days even better, and all of the difficult days bearable. She was perfection.

On Sophie’s last night with me she held on through her pain as her body failed her, refusing to leave me until her very last breath. Relentlessly loyal until the very end.

I would have done anything to keep you forever, Soph. This sadness without you is the cost of loving you so much. I am grateful for all of it. To know the love of a very good dog is such a special gift. How lucky am I to have known the love of the very best one.

I hope that wherever you are you are running again, sweet girl. Thank you for loving me, protecting me, and never leaving my side. Every day with you was heaven. You will be loved deeply and missed endlessly. You did so good, baby. My once-in-a-lifetime dog and forever my favorite girl.

Daisy, the QUEEN. She loved unconditionally. As a rescue from Alabama we didn't know much about her. We do know that she wasn't loved the first 5 to 6 months of her precious life. But, when she came to us, she got a brother, a mom, a dad, aunt's and uncle's, a BFF and a wonderful yard. She LOVED the snow and was fortunate enough to get 1 more snow fall before she passed. She would roll in the snow and snort like a little piggy! She was the best dog. Always a protector, but always a big mushy lover. We will always love you Daisy. Run free with your brother Diesel. Tell him we love him too!

Tucker James was the most dedicated, compassionate dog anyone can ask for. He loved his chuck-it ball so much that I had to put it away before he overheated himself. He was so loyal to his mommy and daddy. Tucker James loved putting his head out the sunroof of my jeep while traveling around. Tucker James will be missed terribly. He is no longer in pain and Victoria did an amazing job helping us go through the process. A very compassionate women. Rest in peace Tucker James love you always!!!!!!!!

We celebrated Brady's life on 11/20/22 (his 18th birthday). Our special gift to him was to set him free from his pain on 11/21/22. It was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do. We provided hospice care for him since his grand mal seizure in October 2021. Brady was always full of life and didn’t want to give in…and neither did we.

Brady was so loving, so smart, so funny, and a bit mischievous. He thought it was funny to grab a paper (or money) off the table, just hold it between his front teeth, go over to the cabinet where his treats were and stand there with it hanging out of his mouth as if to say… “You’ll get it back when I get my treat”. “Family time” was one of his favorite things to do and he would ensure it happened by picking up his favorite toy elephant and running back and forth between the living room and kitchen until all of us gathered in one place to sit together. He loved going “bye-bye in the car” and accompanied us nearly everywhere we went. Daily walks on the dike by the river with Al would make him so excited he would actually squeal with joy as they were leaving. It will be very hard living without him.

Brady ~ We love you to the moon and back forever and always. You brought us so much love, laughter, and happiness. We can’t wait to see you and hold you again. Spread your new angel wings and fly high while watching over us from above.

He was such a loving and big boy, fought with all he had! Will be forever loved and missed by all.

When is the right time to say “goodbye”? Never! We wish we could have kept him forever, but we knew when Kip joined our family and provided years of unconditional love and happiness that the day would come where we would feel our hearts rip in half. Kip, you provided our family with so much love that we will carry with us forever. You were Corey’s best friend and he couldn’t have had a better one. We will love you forever kip. Thank you for what you meant to each and every one of us ❤️❤️❤️ we would go thru this heartache all over again to love you longer but today was the right time to say “goodbye” for you 🥲💔.

You stole my heart when you gave me your paw. The day we met, you were without a doubt hungry and thirsty but before you would even eat the food or drink the water I brought you, you offered me your paw in friendship. I'll never forget that as long as I live.

You were never anything but a perfect gentleman. You were the kindest, most gentle, loving and appreciative soul I have ever encountered. You prioritized love and friendship above everything else. Your good morning wake up calls were 5 minutes of cuddling me and licking my face before you would let me get up to give you breakfast.

You were an angel without wings, until you gained them yesterday. Thank you for the years of love and unimaginable loyalty and friendship. I will love you and miss you more than words could ever explain. I hope we meet again soon. I love you Mr. Monster.

From a little pup at the shelter to an extra large baby, we adored our 12 years together. Your love never waivered & we miss your silly antics so much. Hoping you are reunited with all of your friends in another dimension full of goodies, tall grass, and swimming spots! 💙

You were the best dog ever! Thank you for almost 14 amazing years! We love you and miss you so much, Cy!

You will be missed by everyone who new you, you were an amazing dog. I will never forget you my girlie, you saved me many times from my own losses, you always new I needed you. I pray you know how much I love you. Thank you to Buffalo & Beyond. You are a great veterinary service. You helped my girl, my family and myself. You are kind 🐾💜

Chester you touch so many people and brought joy to many. We will miss you. I will leave a chair for you around the campfire and miss our walks and golf cart rides.

Marla was fiercely loyal and loved her family more than anything. She was beautiful with a playful personality. She loved to bite ankles and dig holes and swim in her pool, eat cheese and be involved in whatever you were doing. Curious ‘til the end. You never know how much a part of your life dogs are until they aren’t anymore. 💔 She is so deeply missed. Marlena Charlena Consuelos, Shiesk, Detector Protector, Mar Mar.. we had so many names for you. Xoxo 🐾💖✨

Your life was a blessing your memory a treasure you are loved beyond words and always missed every day beyond measure!! love you forever mommy daddy and brother ❤️

Woody always loved being outside, sunning himself. He was the perfect companion. Always up for a walk, hike, or just relaxing. We now cherish the memories he gave us. Thank you, Dr. Sverduk,for giving Woody peace, and smiling with us as we reminisced, in his final, peaceful, moments. We will be forever grateful.

Our Comet. He lived 2 1/2 years before we rescued, truly rescued, him from a kill shelter - he was to be put down the next week. He had been a bait dog in a pit ring. The shelter folks cried when we said we were taking him. How can I tell you all the ways he was there for us over the next 12 years? For each of us he was there differently. He was at Jim's side walk after walk after walk when Jim coped with difficult times. He snuggled with Katherine in a way he did not with anyone else. He sat quietly next to Sharon when she cried. He brought each of us laughter and joy. He 'claimed' Pebbles when she arrived after Jim's father's passing. They were always together, communicating with sniffs, barks, eye contact, and head gestures . We all so miss him. This is hard. We hope and pray he knew to his core our love for him as he left us. Thank you for sharing life with us, Comet.

Stella, Thank you for all the smiles and for making our house feel like a home, and for being the best guard dog we could ever ask for. We'll forever miss you, and we all know you'll be waiting to see us again on the other side. Rest easy Stella-girl.

Fifty shades of Mae… always wearing something cute for a treat. (Carrot) Anything for your people babies, you are our gentle giant. We will miss you being the ham that you are. We love and miss you so hard already.

Meg was loyal, protective, extremely smart, and funny. She loved to swim, dock dive, play with her tennis balls, catch her hula hoop, ride in the car, and just be with her people. She was my soulmate and best friend. Many people throughout the years said I should write a book using my photos of Meg. I could write volumes. Thank you to Dr. Victoria Sverduk for helping us get through Meg's peaceful passing with grace.

Shea was so caring and loving. She didn't like loud noises by any means. When rain storms were upon us she came to us for comfort. The same was said when one of us had a bad day, she would walk on over to anyone and give a loving head rub on our legs and lick us with joy to cheer us back up. She loved her truck rides in the wood truck, walks and loved brushing her back on everything. At times she would lay flat on her back and kick the wall or door so she could slide on her back. Overall she was a family girl and loved our Son's neighborhood friends. She will be deeply missed and loved forever!!!!

Daisie, we miss you so much already. 16.5 years old and it still didn’t seem long enough. We hope you are barking at chipmunks and squirrels with missy up in heaven. See you again in another lifetime. xoxo your big sister

Nugget was the smartest and sweetest boy. He blessed us with 14 years of unconditional love and cuddles. Some of his favorite snacks were cheese, McDonalds french fries, cheetos and vanilla ice cream. He was the best big brother to Gizmo and taught him not to go past the tile when the front door was open. He loved watching trick or treaters on Halloween and sleeping under the Christmas tree. He was our snuggle bug despite his mean mug expression. Mom will miss your sandpaper kisses and Dad will miss you waiting at the door to greet him when he got home from work. Love and miss you bug a boo

Kit was our loyal friend and protector who was with us since she was a puppy. She was indestructible for most of her life, ate many socks and toys and caused some chaos but mostly brought us joy. She was there for her family through highs and lows and will never be forgotten. She was a quick learner who could perform tricks on command and an avid hunter who enjoyed her time afield. Our hearts and home have an empty space now but our memories of Kit bring smiles, laughter and tears to our eyes. We are grateful to Dr. Victoria Sverduk for helping us let Kit go in the comfort of our home surrounded by those she loved. We have laid her to a peaceful rest.

Thor was the most loving,loyal Great Dane you would ever have the pleasure of meeting. He will forever hold a great piece of my heart. I know he is in heaven watching over me. Forever mama’s baby.

Jerbear we love and miss you. Your time with us seemed all too short. You had the softest fur, we enjoyed giving you your belly rubs, and you were a wonderful companion to your humans and your cat brother, Eli. We will miss too hearing you play with your jingle ball all over the house and hearing it fall down the stairs. It was painful to see you suffer but an angel by the name of Dr. Victoria helped and comforted you and us as we said goodbye. Thank you Dr. Victoria..we will be forever grateful.

With all of our love to you, sweet Parker

Cody my sweet boy you went too soon. We miss you so much.
Love and Cuddles
Mommy

We were the luckiest to have you in our lives. Truly one of a kind, you are gone way too soon. We lost our beloved, hound of hounds, Wyatt’s best friend, our family member - Doc, on Friday August 26th. We miss him dearly with the heaviest of hearts.

Thank you, Dr. Sverduk. We are grateful for the humane, kind, respectful, and deeply compassionate care you showed Doc, and to our family. The extra kindness and attention you gave to our young son, Wyatt, during this extremely painful loss and time…there are not enough thank you’s that could be expressed.

Porsche was an awesome cat who loved to chase mice and bugs, climb ladders, scale the basement wall, and ensure the house was safe from intruders! He was full of personality, and was not afraid to let you know, whether it was with a loud meow or a quick swat to your ankle as you walked by. His two favorite places were the porch and under the Christmas Tree. Thanks for the good times, Porsche, and we will see you again.

Thank you to Hamlin Veterinary Clinic, Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center, and Dr. Sverduk for helping Porsche through his battle with cancer.

Also, thank you to the Dessin Animal Shelter for the wonderful furry family member we adopted 10 years ago.

In Loving Memory of our little angel doggie, Izzy. Our loving and faithful friend. Missed deeply.

My precious Meat… life won’t be the same without you!
I saved you and you saved me in return 💛💙💚💜❤️

All my love in heaven 🥩💔

To the best boy who we miss so dearly. Run free my boy, until we meet again. 🐾❤️

Olive was a gentle giant who loved everyone she met. She loved her family, kitty, big brother, belly rubs, and food from dad's plate. Olive enjoyed walking around the property and seeing and smelling all the critters. As with all the pets we love, she's gone too soon. Dr. Sverduk made her passing painless as it could be for everyone.

For almost 19 years you were my buddy. I'm not sure how to let go but I am trying. I miss you, Cappa. You will always be in my heart.

I can't say enough about B&B for their kind and compassionate service. I would choose them 100 times over. I am so grateful I was able to hold my boy in the comfort of home as he crossed that rainbow bridge.

Our home will not be the same without him, but I know I made rhe right choice. He is now at peace with no more pain.

Sparky was the most wonderful, loving and happy little boy in the world. Our family was so blessed with his love for 16 years. Till the very end of his life he was a happy boy. Thank God we were able to let him go in our home and he was in his favorite bed surrounded by his loving family. Buffalo and beyond were wonderfully loving and compassionate. We miss Sparky every second of every day but glad he went over the rainbow bridge in peace and in the home he loved. Love you always Sparky.

May there be endless bye byes in the car, bountiful naps, all the best tv shoes with no commercials, and big lakes to swim in on the other side. We will love you and miss you immensely.

“Having a dog will bless you with many of the happiest days of your life, and one of the worst.”
Our sweet and gentle giant, Jet. You took up a lot of space in our hearts and our home. Rora dog still waits for you in the mornings. It’s been hard to get used to you not being here. We hope you are running free, like you did in your younger days, Pain free and happy. We miss you Jetty boy.

Gracie was the love of our lives. She gave mountains of love and laughter to her family. She loved her food and playing with tennis balls. Licking and kissing us all everyday. For such a tiny dog she had the biggest heart! She gives truth to the saying a dog is your best friend. She was truly mine. I’ll love her forever 💕

To our Maggie girl, you were the best dog and friend we could ask for. We hope you are now pain free and chasing chipmunks. We will miss you soooo much!

She loved life - hunting, swimming, taking walks and making new friends. She loved children, mostly becuase they were her height and she could easily lick them. She mostly loved time with her humans. She was an amazing partner in crime for over 14 years and will be truly missed.

Koda

Janette Cortright 7/26/2022 - Hawley, PA

We love you Koda with all our hearts my baby boy

How can you capture 17 years of love, loyalty, cuteness, and in your last years, trust as I helped you navigate your world without sound, and diminished sight. Just 4 months shy of your 18th birthday, we made the hardest decision to help you over the rainbow bridge to reunite with Sadie and Bailey. I miss that glorious tongue hanging out of your toothless face, your bark when I come home, feeding you your boiled carrots as your afternoon treats, our walks to get the mail. Dressing you in your sweaters and shirts and most of all just seeing your happy face pop up from your cluster of blankets on the couch. You always were the consummate lap dog..at the ready to snuggle as soon as someone grabbed a blanket. You lived through so many changes in our family life, watching your human brothers grow up and move away from home but always happy to see them when they came home to visit. We miss you so much, but I hope you are enjoying your reunion with your big sisters. Thank you so much B&B for your genuine kindness and caring. Dr. Victoria was so compassionate as we said our very peaceful goodbyes to our little man. Fly free and thanks for sending that rainbow to us so we knew you made it. Love, Mom, Dad, Mixter and Chrissy

Our beloved Baby Girl left us way to soon, but the love she brought to our family will live on forever. We are grateful for the years we had with Crispin, and will never ever forget her. Forever in our hearts. Soar with the Angels oh sweet girl. Special thanks to everyone at B&B for your genuine caring, your understanding during a difficult time and for helping us say goodbye with love and dignity.

Six was a rescue that ended up being a rescue for me and helping me fight cancer. He was my best friend who never left my side and I never left his. His love for kids was unbelievable. We love you and miss you deeply.

We moved from Philadelphia to Honesdale in Nov. 2022, Samson was just as excited about the move as he loved to sit outside and enjoy nature. Samson was more than a cat, he was our best friend and will be missed everyday.

We adopted Ginger at the Pike County Humane Society. We walked up to the gate and she greeted us right away. We kept saying we want a dog around her size, short haired and female. She walked with us as we looked at other dogs and was basically telling us You Want Me!! We took her home that day and she turned out to be the best dog ever!

Pearl certainly lived up to her name. She was a gem. A treasure. Pearl came from a litter of ten puppies and she picked us. There is no doubt she was meant to be part of our family. Pearl had a gentle way about her. She had a way of laying her head against your leg to let you know she loved you. People were drawn to her for her beauty but her gentle, sweet nature made everyone she met fall in love with her. As any good Great Pyrenees does, she loved to bark! She surely saved us from countless bad guys, trucks, busses and motorcycles over the years! Her favorite place to be was on her window seat, making sure everything was OK. She loved the cold and the snow but when she came back inside, she wasn't opposed to being tucked under a nice blanket. Pearl had a special relationship with each of us. They were all different, but special just the same. 7 1/2 years was not long enough with her. We are so glad she was able to go to sleep for the final time on her bed at home with her family around her. It was a gift to all of us to be able to remember her that way. Bone cancer stole her from us too soon, leaving an emptiness that can never be filled. Pearl Sherman, you are irreplaceable. We miss you and love you. We will forever be grateful to you. Until we meet again, Pearly Girly. "Don't forget, somewhere between hello and goodbye, there was love. So much love."

Rest In Peace sweet baby girl. We will miss you so much.

Ten years ago, we drove three hours from home to meet a beautiful black lab named Zeus, and instantly fell in love. Since having him at age one, he was always a laid-back, gentle giant. His favorite past times included playing ball, swimming, chewing bones, sun bathing on the deck, eating snacks, napping (of course!), and spending time with his family, especially his human dad. It’s hard to put into words how great Zeus really was. Everyone that met him loved him. Zeus embodied all the qualities of a true friend and simply put, he was the best dog I’ve ever known. Rest in Peace, our sweet boy. Thank you for being our best friend and faithful companion all these years. We are so blessed that you came into our lives and will cherish all the memories you gave us. We’ll miss you every day until we meet again, Buddy

Mocha joined our family in January 2014. She was the perfect addition to the pack. She was a wonderful sister to her canine siblings, especially her “BFR”, Best Friend Rogie the Chihuahua. When she wasn’t with her siblings, she loved spending time with her humans. The best thing in the world for Mocha was when one of her humans gave her scratches. Once Mocha became an only dog, she loved to go in the car for rides, even if it was just around the block. She loved going on walks or sniffs as we called them. Mocha was the smartest girl. She knew that the bone fairy would visit before she came home from her walk to reward her for job well done. If her snack was not there, she stood by the cabinet and impatiently waited for her reward. When the weather was nice, nothing made Mocha happier than to sit up in her haven by our pool. She had her very own cabana equipped with a 4 gallon water fountain and sometimes even a fan. Mocha loved grill night because she knew she would get her very own steak to eat. Life is not the same without her but our lives are better for knowing and loving the sweetest girl. Run free, girl. Until we meet again, we love you!

Roadie was so content just to be with his tribe, days of sunshine & nights all cozy. The quiet of the country and the companionship of his family. He was a warrior till the end … Our lives were blessed from day one, And in ours hearts he’ll always stay… forever young 🕯 Thank you to Buffalo and Beyond for their compassion, kindness and care 💜

We loved you from the moment you were born. You were the runt who turned into one of the best pets ever. We will miss you.

No one ever said goodbyes were easy, but they never said they can be this hard either. The life that Sadie lived was the best a dog could have ever asked for. For years she stuck right by our family’s side and was one of the best cuddlers in the family. Her presence and ridiculously loud bark greeting everyone she saw will be greatly missed. Time for her to chase every squirrel as she crosses the rainbow bridge. Until we meet again.

It’s taken me a while to write this, but tomorrow he would have turned 7 and this seems like a good place to start to honor his memory.

Koda was big and loud and silly. His personality filled a room. He loved his people and his furry sister more than anything in this world (except for maybe ice cubes). He was as stubborn as the day was long and would tell you exactly how he felt about your rules. He was the absolute best snuggler and gave the best kisses. He was his mom’s shadow and could always be found in the kitchen supervising his dad’s cooking. He was bold. He pushed the limits. He was always up to no good. And the second he saw an opening, he was out the door for a joy run. He loved walks, playing fetch, and laying in his yard. He was by our side for life’s highs and lows for just short of seven years. Although our time with him was cut short unexpectedly, our memories of him will live on forever.

When we had to make the gut-wrenching decision to let him leave this world peacefully and be free from pain, we knew we’d do anything to make it as stress-free as we possibly could. We were referred to Buffalo & Beyond by a friend. We contacted them and they honored our wishes to have our female present, to have him cremated alone, and to be sent over the bridge with his favorite Dino stuffy. Saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing we’ve ever done and our hearts will never be the same again, but Dr. Victoria helped it hurt just a tiny bit less.

I loved you your whole life, I'll miss you for the rest of mine." Jackie from the moment I saw you I knew you were ment to be my dog. Your fantastic smile, curly tail, and crooked feet sealed the deal. I am so lucky to have spent so many years with you and I cherish the memories of our long walks, playing fetch with your favorite green tennis ball, sharing snacks and cuddling on the couch. I know you will forever be my guardian angel from above and you will always hold a large piece of my heart. I love you Jackie!!!!!

Cali joined our family in 2005 and stole our hearts. She helped us welcome three children. Cali was their big “sister,” and constant companion. Although she was small, she filled our home and our hearts with so much love.  
The mornings are quieter without you, sweet girl. We look for you in your usual napping spots, and the places where the warm sun pours in the windows. We miss and love you Cali!

We love and miss you so much, Macie. You will forever be in our hearts. ❤️

Giapetto, I can’t even imagine life without you. You have always been there when I needed you most. We have been through so much together. You were also good for a laugh 24/7. You were my little buddy who was confused with his identity thinking he was born a dog: chasing his tail, drinking out of toilets and trotting around the house carrying his toys proudly in his mouth. I am sorry if you were in pain, but there will be no more suffering. Time will eventually heal, but you will NEVER be forgotten. You had the largest personality, which is going to make this house feel empty. I hope there are chipmunks for you to chase in the sky. I will always love you buddy

Troy you came into our lives and brought us much joy. You will be miss and you will always be in our hearts . Love from your forever family.

What can I say about Nibbles...he was my boy and my life will never be the same without him. It's taken me weeks to be able to bring myself to write his memorial. Nibbles was born the only red male in a litter with three black & tan Shiba Inu sisters. I loved him from before I met him, when I first got to see his cute little teddy bear face in the picture that the breeder shared with me. He had to be neutered within the first weeks of his life due to an inguinal hernia he had from birth, but he never let that or any other issues that he encountered in his life slow him down.

Nibbles was true to his breed, very independent, self-sufficient, playful and mischievous, but was also one of the sweetest and laid-back dogs I've ever known. He never fought with any other dogs, never went after any birds, squirrels or any other animals; Nibbles always did his own thing. He was relaxed for car rides, which worked out well so he could always come on trips to play with his 'cousins' at my sister's house and visit our family at the beach in NJ. He loved to perch in our windows and watch the neighborhood like a cat, always keeping an eye out for intruders. He was a dedicated (though admittedly not intimidating) guard dog, who always ensured we knew when the pizza arrived.

Throughout his life, Nibbles had some food allergies that guaranteed he would always be well fed - only the best for Nibz. No chicken or grain meant a lifetime of duck and salmon jerky, and only the best fillets of fish for Christmas, his birthday and special occasions. Even in his last days, I can take some comfort in knowing that he at least was able to have a full belly. As the years passed, Nibbles began to have more health issues which took a larger and larger toll on him. By the end of his 13 years, he had developed, been diagnosed and treated for arthritis, hypothyroidism, Cushings disease and diabetes. Nibbles was a model patient, never complaining or running away at his twice daily medication times, which also included insulin injections. Instead, Nibbles eagerly awaited his treatment - cheese was the best motivator and tool in our Nibbles-care toolkit.

For the last 2 years of his life, Nibbles became blind due to the diabetes and his mobility declined greatly from the arthritis and other illnesses. It was a very long, heart-breaking battle, but I will never regret the time we spent together and am also truly thankful for the kindness and care that Dr. Victoria was able to give our boy Nibbles in his last moments. There was never going to be enough time to spend with him, but I will be forever grateful for the time that we shared.

Blue you gave us such joy. We know your favorite place was the cabin . That’s where you will be running with all your brothers and friends..From 8 weeks old til you passed you gave us smiles every day. We love you and miss you. Always in our hearts

Our hearts are broken. On January 25th, we had to say goodbye to you, our sweet Toonces. You were a part of our family for almost 16 years.

You were my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye. You slept right next to me every single night. The last one I saw when I went to sleep and the first one that I saw when I woke up each morning. For years we had a silly tradition when I would open a new bag of cat food. You would stick your head in the bag and grab a mouthful of food before I poured it into the food container. How you used to love to play fetch with your ball (or ball-ee as we would call it). We would laugh when you would playfully tease your brother, Yum Yum, and your sister, Bebe. You would lick my arm or leg until it had a scab on it, but I didn't care because that's how you would show your love. I will never forget when I would say "kisses", how you would "kiss" my face.

We couldn't bear the thought of having Toonces be terrified in the car and at the vet's to be put to sleep. Dr. Sverduk came to our home and gave Toonces the send-off he deserved....compassionate and respectful. Toonces transitioned peacefully on his favorite spot on the couch surrounded by our love, kisses, hugs, and comforting words. Dr. Sverduk was so kind and patient with us, and we will be forever grateful to her.

Rest in peace our sweet, sweet Toonces. You made our family whole. We will never ever forget you. Until we meet again. 

To my Delta,

When I first saw you on 2/3/18, at Blue Chip Farm, I knew we were meant to be. There was an instant bond that wouldn't be broken for the next almost four years. You were a seven year old senior dog and were overlooked, but not by me. They say, you don't get to choose a dog, a dog chooses you, and my Delta, you definitely chose me.

Over the next year, we went on many adventures together, from riding topless in my Jeep Wrangler, to countless hikes, and weekend trips to NYC. The following March, you welcomed your baby brother, Captain into our household with open paws. He was just a four-month old GSD puppy and you mothered him, allowed him to sleep in your bed every night and showed him the ropes. You were always so maternal. We continued on our many trips and exploring the world one sniff at a time.

By January 2020, we decided we had room for one more dog and we adopted five year old GSD Renna, and once again you were the welcoming momma dog you always were. You didn't mind sharing the spotlight, allowing others to pet your siblings, and even sharing toys. We sincerely and honestly couldn't ask for a more perfect dog, you, Delta, were the glue that kept the trio together.

We had to make the hardest decision of our lives with putting you down, but I know you know, we tried. You were tired here and your journey was complete. You gave us the best four years of our lives and I hope you are running freely on the soft covered fresh snow (you're absolute favorite). Until we meet again, my Delta, I will love and cherish our days here together. Run free, my girl, run free!

Love,

Bobby and Ricky

Baldrick was part cat, part dog, and all angel. He came when he was called, he begged like a champ, he thought the pool was his personal water bowl, and we'll always treasure his 18-1/2 years of love, friendship, loyalty, and happy memories. We are trying to take solace knowing that Baldrick is once again carefree and playing with his brother Black Adder, who himself had crossed the Rainbow Bridge 12 years earlier.
Victoria and Tony were sent by God to help us in our time of need, and we are so grateful for their compassionate care.

Mudd 8/22/06 - 1/10/22. Four Seasons Mudslide on the Rocks is your AKC name but to us it’s just Mudd, Muddman or my Buddy. To your little sister Bailey, whom you welcomed into your house, you were her big brother who taught her to eat corn on the cob, watermelon & pretend she was a boy by partially picking up her leg when she went pee pee. You loved the pool so much that you even tried to go under the cover before it was fully removed upon opening time in the summer. You knew the sound of the tool that unlocked the tethers. And what can I say about searching for frogs if they jumped in. You were obsessed with getting every one out. You were soft mouthed, as labs are, not to hurt them but rather just leave on the concrete around the pool.
Then of course we’re our daily walks when you were healthy in rain, sleet or snow & you loved every minute of it.
Next we’re the treats, especially Dingo’s & food in general was everything to you so I knew when your denial of food started we would know your health had changed.
Christmas time was always special with you & Bailey sticking your heads into the gift bags to retrieve your toys & treats. Thank God we videotaped these special moments as well as many others.
You will be so missed & our hearts are broken but we know the time had come to say goodbye & put you at peace. For all the love & happiness you gave us over the years, you deserved that comfort. Asked God today for a sign that your happy & feel reassured that you are. Until we meet again, rest easy buddy & know we will always love & cherish the love & memories you gave us

Valentines day we feel in love with you & for almost 13 years you were my shadow. Today was one of the hardest days in my life, but I knew you were in so much pain. You were a great pet, pup & part of our family! I will deeply miss coming home to you wagging your tail happy to see me or waiting for food to fall off our dinner plates.

You will live in your hearts forever! I know GG is welcoming you with a big hug

Our Shultz was with us for 14 years. I wish he could have stayed with us forever! He was such a handsome, happy, silly boy. He loved swimming in the lake and playing fetch ... even though he wasn't very good at it. We'll miss him every minute of every day!

Foxxy, Foxxy Mama, Foxxy Lady, Chicken, Chicken of the Sea, Chachi, Stinks, Tinkie Lady, Tinkeroni, Baby Mama Chihuahua- Not a moment will go by that you will not be on our minds and in our heart. This house will never be the same without you running through the halls, kickin up the carpet, instilling fear in everyone who got too close to your mama & in your personal space. You were a fighter, Foxx. The joy you have given me for the past 15 years is unmeasurable. We love you so so much! Can’t wait to get those kisses again! Life will never be the same without you, my lady.

My sweet handsome boy I miss you so much but I am so thankful for the 12 years with you. You taught us patience with every adventure you snuck out to find, kindness with every fur baby you met, how to take the time to relax and enjoy the little things like the sun on your face, a long walk through the woods or the warmth of a fluffy blanket and a good nap. Most of all an unconditional love that touched our souls. I will always miss that cute little face as you greeted me at the door, that little hop in your step, the long talks we shared and our bedtime snuggles You are forever in our hearts.

You loved us your whole life and we’ll miss you the rest of ours. Thank you for being the best girl and for saving our family. You are loved and missed dearly. Now your running free with Jamie Ann, Nella Mae and Haley Mae. Until we meet you all again know you were loved beyond the universe.

My little Phoebe, I am finding it so difficult to write this memorial because it is so hard to believe you are not here with us any longer. You might have been the smallest dog in our family, but your presence was HUGE. You were the cuddler extraordinaire, with your people and the hounds. And you sure knew how to wind up those hounds, the ever vigilant watchdog, nothing got past you . And sometimes nothing was there, but you would alert everyone and the bark/howlfest would begin. The best is when you started to howl like the bassets! Till this day, I laugh when I think of the first time you did that.

We miss you, our little Miss Wigglebutt. You were with us for almost 15 years, we were hoping for many more. I know you missed Eddie, but you didn’t have to go join him so soon. I know in my heart he was there to greet you at the Rainbow Bridge, along with your other brothers and sisters.

We miss you so very much. Home is not the same without you. Until we meet again , you will always be in our hearts.

You were the best Christmas gift I ever received. Bently you gave me so much love and loyalty. When you were a puppy, you were so tiny I would lose you all the time. Your favorite things to do were to cuddle and lay right on top of my head. Sometimes I thought you were a human in toddler years, we couldn’t pass a McDonald’s without you wanting French fries. You were so protective of me and we had a unbreakable bond. I will forever cherish our life together and never forget you. On good days and bad you were always there. Never left my side when I was sick. I would always catch myself having a full blown conversation with you as if you would answer me back. You are free of any pain and suffering and I know I will love forever in my heart my sweet “Benny Boop” mommy will love you forever.

Buddy, you were the bestest boy anyone could ask for. You were with us for everything and you comforted us with just your presence. No one could ever replace you my sweet boy. We miss you every single day. Run free from pain with Bailey, Cali, and Murphy at the bridge. Until we meet again.

Eddie, Ed, Mr. Ed, Special Ed. We were only supposed to transport and foster you for a few days. It took 3 minutes into the car ride to decide that we would be your forever home. You left us too soon. They call it foster fail, but we so won. We miss you, my curmudgeon. Your gigantic snooter , tickled those big paws, your grumbles and your drool. But we know you had a great life and most importantly, you know that you were very loved.

Now you are with your brothers and sisters at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again.

Everyone loved Ruger and he was the happiest dog!

He was amazing and the best dog ever! Miss you dude!

Our Flippy has brought so much laughter, love, happiness and companionship into our lives. He taught me dogs are not just pets but they are family and they always have our back. He was my protector, my best friend,my fur Son the ,brother my Son never had. Hes was more then a pet he was family. I can't thank Dr Victoria enough for her time and compassion she has for the animals and there family's. My Flip was comfortable and knew she meant no harm from the moment she arrived and instantly allowed her into our home which never happens without endless barking and sniffing and time to gain trust. I can't thank Dr Victoria enough for her services and compassion. Thank you and I know my Flippy is no longer suffering and he is at peace. We miss him already and he will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace my Puppy. We love you and thank you for all the love, laughter and joy and protection. Till we meet again my puppy. Night night. 9-11-2006, 9-16-2021.

From the moment we met 9 years ago, you made us YOUR humans. I mean - you even peed on Mom twice on the way home to mark your territory. You were always by our side no matter what. If it was a million kisses, butt snuggin’ or just hanging out in the garage watching us work on a project. You were always there to judge us with a little side eye.

You loved everything about life - From steak and icecream to car rides and swimming in the pond - Long walks with Stella and running through the field - Nice long tub drinks followed by tongue drying on every possible piece of furniture or leg that was available. You loved being a couch potato. We spent many nights sharing chips and watching Harry Potter or the Martian. You really had great taste in movies!

You took all of your “jobs” very seriously. Protecting us from every noise out there when it was your time to be on guard, cleaning as many dirty dishes as possible and supporting all the local fire companies with a little back up siren when needed…you really were the best singer. You certainly knew how to chose the best stick on every walk - well i guess I should say “small tree” because most of what you brought back was bigger than me! And shredding …. there wasn’t one cardboard box around that stood a chance against you!

But most of all. You were the absolute BEST big brother. You kept Stella in line, taught her a few of your tricks and loved on her so much even though i know you secretly wanted us to “lose” her on the one of our walks. You even tried to teach her to sing - which i promise we will continue to work on! And then Wyatt came along. I was so proud of you the moment we brought him home. You were so gentle and loving. I don’t know if there is any other little guy in this world that has gotten as many kisses as he has. You loved every inch of him!! Literally! And he definitely feels the same about you! You will always be a part of his life no matter what!

Things will never be the same without you. But all the memories and photos will bring a smile to our face every time. You were my favorite hello and absolute hardest goodbye. Stubborn old man right to the end. Thank you for being the best dog we could have asked for.

You will always be our best friend. Our Knob. Our MOOSE. The most handsome man.
Lucius - We love you. Always.

Words can not express how thankful we are for the love and compassion Dr Sverduk has for animals! Truly one of a kind!

Preston, Trouble, Moose, Poppy... HoneyBee, LoveBug, and Li'l DrummerBoy... so many nicknames for the many personalities you held as part of your charming Light while you graced our lives.

You have always been my sweet Blankey-Boy... for whenever I would leave the house I could count on coming home to you having pulled anything and everything that looked like a blanket to you to the floor, just inside the garage door, inside the house... from all of the throw rugs, blankets from the bed, my dirty laundry, to the tablecloth and everything that was on the table. And, there you'd be, when I returned home, and opened the door... little and eventually not-so-little Blankey-Boy... curled up atop his mounded circle of comfort.

Lawdy, lawdy... then, there was potty training! You learned to poop outside, immediately... like a rock star! But, it took a YEAR... to get you to learn to pee outside! I remember we'd be outside for 15 minutes to an hour... often, only to come inside so I could use the restroom... and EVERY TIME, I would come out to find you had pee'd a LAKE on the vinyl dining room floor. Literally... EVERY. TIME! Lawdy, I thought you'd never learn; but, you did... one year after I adopted your "too cute for words" britches!

BOY... You KNEW you were cute and had your Momma wrapped around those big luggo paws you eventually grew into darting everywhere! I swore one of us was NOT going to make it, until you turned two years of age, the age most pups finally settle down. But... not you! Your brand of turbo cray cray lasted until you were seven... and truth be told, it was only the Anaplasmosis that slowed you down! Then additionally, when you were diagnosed with LP.

When I brought you home as cute li'l ten pound Preston, I loved gently having you slung over my shoulder as I worked on the computer at the end of most days. As you grew, you'd curl up under Momma's desk to remain as close as possible, when I could no longer coral your lengthening torso. I remember thinking you were never going to stop growing; and you might end up as tall as the yellow lab I met at a local pet shop, a couple days after I adopted you... one whose head was literally at the height of my shoulder!

Auntie Karen, (our neighbor and your primary pup-sitter when needed,) and I nicknamed you Moose... for your huge size and the way you used to practically drag your Momma everywhere, nearly face-planting me on our many "winter ice escapades..." which were simply trips outside to potty! We had to make a call plan, so she'd rest assured you hadn't face-planted me inside the garage on the concrete floor... where I might have bled out without anyone seeing or knowing over the winter months.

You became Trouble, when at a year and a half, at 1:45am on a Sunday morning, you darted down the embankment behind our house... after a skunk! I prayed, "Oh G-d! PLEASE don't let him get sprayed! Ohh I'm gonna be spending my Sunday scrubbing skunk outta my boy!" Only by Divine Grace, the young skunk must have been happy it had a full belly, from eating the leftover cat food, as it didn't spray you! UGH, BOY... we've certainly had our antics... because you have only ever had one speed... TURBO!!!

Last year, after I began to learn to play percussion through music therapy, you switched from ordering me outside daily to do yard work... to ordering me to head to the music studio to drum for you. You were such a Boss Dog! But, I will miss the way you encouraged me to get up at the crack of dawn, get you and the other pets fed, get in our morning constitutional before the heat of day began, and either ground myself via working with nature by tending the yard or garden; or getting back to my Divine calling of music. You helped me build my music skills by having me play, daily, your favorite CCM; and... were so tolerant of my missteps... both there... and as I was rebuilding my vocal chops. You've encouraged, supported, and even DEMANDED... my return to my Divine musical calling. For that, and so SO much more... my Beloved one, you will BE so greatly missed; but, embraced when I too, move on from this part of my life's journey and eventually get to rejoin you. Thank you, most BEautiful One... for an AWE-MA-ZING journey with you.

Gabriel truly was an Angel. He came to us almost 14 years ago at the approximate age of 6 months. His Mom was full border collie. He was neglected, sick, full of sores and infections. He was to be our foster dog. Well...you know how that goes.

He was timid but sweet. He immediately fell in love with our Aussie, Sierra. And we immediately fell in love with him. With the exception of riding in cars, he became a happy and well rounded companion. He loved dogs, kids, babies, and everything about life. He had a deep bond with my husband Ed. He adored our grandchildren and would herd them to their delight.

He walked freely on our 8 acres, never leaving our side. (Except for the skunk incident.) He would lean on us, placing his head on our laps. He loved cuddling with Sierra and our grandpuppy Boomer. He loved his frozen Kong and would demand it at 8:00 every evening. He was content. Loving. Sweet. Funny.

His nickname was Bubby. His favorite toy was the orange fox. His water had to be cold or he stared at the bowl until we refilled it.

He was beautiful. He was loved deeply. He will forever be in our hearts.

Thank you Dr. Sverduk for giving him the send off he deserved. Dignity. Respectful. Peaceful. He runs with Sierra now. Young and pain free. And we will hug and kiss him again when it is time.
