Yesterday, June 11, marked World Pet Memorial Day, a time to remember pets that have passed away. The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is offering resources for coping with loss and ways to honor pets’ memories.
You can honor a beloved pet by donating to a local shelter in their name. The Lennox and Addington OSPCA relies on donations to help animals in need. Tribute gifts can be made anytime on their website.
In times of grief and loss, finding a community that understands and supports your journey can make all the difference. Visit ontariospca.ca/wpmd to learn more about the Ontario Pet Loss Support Group. You will also find resources geared towards children who are grieving the loss of a furry friend.
