At Hillcrest-Flynn, we know that pets are family—whether they came from a shelter, a rescue, or straight into your heart. 💛🐾
Many of the pets we’ve been honored to care for were once rescues, and their stories remind us of the unconditional love and second chances that make them so special. Today, we celebrate all the rescue pets who found their forever homes—and the people who opened their hearts to them. 🐶🐱

If you have a rescue pet, give them an extra hug today in honor of the joy they bring!

In Memory of Draco

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved K9 officer, Draco, EOW 8/6/2025. Draco and his handler Officer Brenton Linton, faithfully served the community of Union Township since 2017, bringing dedication, courage, and loyalty to every call.

Draco joined us from Hungary and quickly became more than just a partner in law enforcement. He was a friend, a protector, and a symbol of bravery for Union Township. His presence will be deeply missed, but his paw prints will forever remain in our hearts.

Thank you for your years of service and the love you shared with all of us.

Rest in peace, Draco. Job well done! 💙💙🐾🐾

Mark Julian
Chief of Police

Remembering Rex:

You weren’t just a dog, you were part of our days,
With your wagging tail and your warm, steady gaze.
Through morning walks and quiet nights,
You filled our hearts with pure delight.

Your paws may have stilled, but your love remains,
Etched in our souls, like soft summer rain.
The echo of footsteps, the jingle of tags,
Live on in our hearts where no memory lags.

We’ll think of you chasing the sun in the sky,
Where fields are endless and no one says goodbye.
Run free now, sweet Rex, without pain or fear,
You’re gone from our sight, but forever near.

Tobias “Tobey” Joseph Motika: June 20, 2005 - August 4, 2025

Tobey crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 20 after a very brave, long battle with many chronic health issues and ultimately succumbing to complications of kidney disease. He certainly had 9 lives and used every single one to be here with his family an extra 10 months. Tobey had a special connection with “his person,” Amy, that cannot be explained in words, and he always felt safe with her.

As a 2-year old rescue cat, he was chosen from a shelter in June of 2007. With behavioral and psychological issues, especially in his younger years, he may have sometimes seemed difficult to love. However, those issues resulted from bullying from other cats and some unknown early trauma. But as soon as he initially came out of hiding and walked over to Amy on that first night at 1:00 AM as she sat by her computer, they were inseparable for the remainder of his long life. As of that moment, they became soulmates. He helped with homework and obsessive study sessions, provided encouragement during musical rehearsals, and gave solace through panic attacks, bad days, and major life events. He was truly the ultimate emotional support cat.

Until this past October, Tobey was doing quite well for his age and condition. No one ever believed he was as old as he was, and he continued to run around as if he were five or ten years younger. In October of 2024 he unfortunately suffered an infection that nearly took his life, but he made a miraculous recovery. He was, however, never the same, and the next ten months saw his health decline at a more rapid pace.

Tobey needed a lot of extra care and work-arounds throughout his entire life due to his special psychological issues, complicated allergies, and medical needs, but that only deepened our love for him and made all moments spent with him more precious. Throughout his incredibly long life, he was almost always happy right until the end. He may not have experienced the love he deserved in his first two years, but the immense love he experienced in the following 18 years from his family made up for that. Tobey probably didn’t realize how many people who never even met him cared about him, including the army of supporters he’s had while he’s been ill. He also had the BEST medical team he could ever ask for. Anyone who knew Tobey knew what a special boy he was.

Goodnight, sweet boy! You are our world and we love you more than anything. Yours is the truest most genuine love, and that will never ever change, Bubba. This will be the longest life without you.

“Purrs & Play”
Sunbeams dance across the floor,
Tiny feet tiptoe to explore.
A gentle purr, a playful chase,
Whiskers brush a smiling face.

With cozy cuddles in warm laps.

Where every day feels pure and complete. 🐱❤️👧👦

Honoring the Bond Between Seniors and Their Beloved Pets

For many seniors, a pet is more than a companion—it’s a lifeline. From quiet comfort to daily routine, pets play a powerful role in reducing loneliness, improving mental health, and bringing joy to everyday life.

At Hillcrest-Flynn, we understand how deep that bond goes. When the time comes to say goodbye, we offer compassionate pet cremation services designed to ease the burden and honor the love shared.

💛 We serve families with dignity, care, and respect—especially our senior community who gave so much, and deserve the same in return.

If you or a loved one needs support during this difficult time, we’re here to help—patiently, gently, and with hearts that truly care.

“Pawsitively Pampered”

At Hillcrest-Flynn, it’s pets galore—
We’ve seen it all, and then some more!
A pug in pearls? A cat in shades?
A goldfish buried in parades?

We’ve hosted pups in tiny suits,
And rabbits rocking cowboy boots.
There’s one dog here that talks like Joe,
(Or maybe that was just for show?)

We’ve fetched lost toys, and hugs, and tears,
And laughed at “accidents” through the years.
We love your pets, both big and small—
From barking brutes to chinchilla balls.

So don’t be shy, come sniff around—
We’re the friendliest pet crew in town!
At Hillcrest-Flynn, we treat ’em right…
And give belly rubs with pure delight. 🐶

PLEASE SHARE

☀️ Heat Warning for Pet Owners! ☀️

As temperatures soar, it’s more important than ever to keep your furry family members safe. Make sure your pets have constant access to fresh, clean water—hydration is critical to help them regulate their body temperature.

🐶 Please don’t leave pets outside for long periods of time.
Even a few minutes in extreme heat can lead to overheating, heat exhaustion, or even heat stroke—especially for older animals, short-nosed breeds, or those with thick coats.

💧 Tips to keep your pet cool:
• Refill their water bowl often
• Add ice cubes or frozen treats to keep them interested
• Provide shade if they must be outdoors for a brief moment
• Walk early in the morning or after the sun goes down

If it’s too hot for you, it’s definitely too hot for them. Let’s all do our part to protect the animals we love. ❤️🐕🐈
