Breakfast with my besties. 🐾🐶🩵

08/28/2026

When a family and I connect, it’s not unusual for me to hear that they’ve been lurking on this page, in this unique little community, or that they’ve had my contact info for awhile, but they’ve been procrastinating on getting in touch.

Many don’t know if I serve their neighborhood for specialty care, palliative and hospice care including integrated hospice care support plans—even overnight stays.

Others feel like their pet’s behavioral challenges are too complex and frustrating. Some have had poor past experiences with pet care providers, and so, as you can imagine, they feel like connecting with a great one isn’t in the cards.

And when they take the plunge and send that email, that switches to relief, hope, joy. They’re sorry they waited so long, because they’ve missed out on so many trips, outings, meaningful experiences. Or maybe now, they’re happy that they’re better positioned to manage a pet’s age-related decline, or progressive or terminal diagnosis.

Where will life take YOU now into 2027?

As a Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner, Certified Hospice & Palliative Care Advocate and a Fear Free Certified Professional, my wheelhouse are pets with special needs of all kinds.

If you’ve been debating on whether or not to reach out, this is your cue that now’s the time. Whether its hands-on care with overnight stays or respite care, or ongoing support via enrollment in a concierge animal hospice palliative care plan, you’re guaranteed to have your life enriched meaningfully.

Here’s just one example on what people are saying about their experiences in working with me. Read more by heading over to lorrieshaw.com—and contact me from there.

This is a good primer on where to begin from more solid ground.

After a chronic, progressive or terminal diagnosis is discovered, p...
