Today is National Rescue Dog Day

Rescue dogs come into our lives with stories we may never fully know—but somehow, they trust, love, and give their whole hearts anyway. In return, they become family. If you’ve shared your life with a rescue dog—whether they’re by your side now or held gently in your memories—today is a day to honor them. We welcome you to share their story below.

One way to remember your beloved pet is to place a windchime near a favorite outdoor spot. Every time the wind blows, you’ll be reminded of the love and joy your pet brought to your life.

May 9th marks National Dog Mom Day—a gentle moment to honor the love you share, whether your pup is by your side or held close in your heart.

It can be a day for making new memories or quietly reflecting on the beautiful ones already lived. Maybe it’s a peaceful walk somewhere new, a simple moment of connection, or doing something kind in your dog’s memory. However you choose to spend the day, the love you share with your dog is always there. ❤️

We honor and cherish their incredible spirit, always.

You may not understand why their empty food bowl brings me to tears.

It’s because every morning, I still think about filling it.
Every evening, I catch myself almost calling their name.
In quiet moments, my hand still reaches down, expecting them to be there.

They were part of all the small, ordinary routines.
And now, those are the moments that feel the most different.

The three C’s of grief healing—choose, connect, and communicate—can really help when navigating the loss of a beloved pet.

Choosing means letting yourself grieve in your own way and being kind to yourself in a time when we feel a loss of control, even when our hearts are heavy and burdened.

Connecting is important as well. Just having another person present, without saying a word, can help immeasurably. We are not meant to do this life alone.

Communicating about your needs and what works best for you right now will help your support system know how best to come alongside you to help you heal.

Remember. we are navigating a road that doesn’t have GPS guidance. We must find our way and do what’s best for us. We just don’t have to do it alone.

Grief exhaustion happens because losing a pet takes a huge emotional toll. Your mind is constantly dealing with big feelings like sadness, stress, and missing them, and that can be really draining. Even when you’re not actively thinking about the loss, it’s still there in the background, wearing you down. That’s why grief can make you feel so tired all the time—it’s not weakness, it’s just your body and mind trying to cope with something really hard.

“It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.” —unknown
