We recognize that companion animals play an important role in all of our lives, and that they are an especially important source of support when we are experiencing other life challenges. The loss of a pet can bring up complex feelings and losing such a supportive friend in our lives can be difficult to cope with. Below is a list of local resource that we share in hope that no matter what you are experiencing, you know that there are options for asking for help either for yourself or someone you care about.
