“We love our memorial jars!
The green one is mine for my Golden Noble and the red one is Gerry's for his Beagle Annie.
Thank you.”
- Joy Richard’s-David

Nothing means more to us than hearing how much our memorial jars are touching hearts. 🖤✨

Every message, photo, and bit of feedback reminds us why Remember to Paws was created in the first place. These jars are so much more than keepsakes, they are little pieces of love, memories, and the unbreakable bond we share with those who have left paw prints on our hearts.

Seeing your reactions and knowing these memorials bring comfort during such difficult times means the world to us.
Thank you for trusting us with something so precious and personal. 🌈🤍

We love you Joy & Gerry!

Join us Monday at 6 PM CST for our next live pet loss support group meeting.

This week’s discussion will focus on something many pet owners struggle with after loss: guilt.

The “what ifs.”
The decisions we replay.
The feeling that maybe we should have done more.

We’ll talk about why these feelings are so common in grief and how we can begin to show ourselves the same compassion we gave our pets.

We will also be making Memorial Jars live. These jars serve as a tangible reminder of the love, memories, and connection we continue to carry long after our pets are gone.

📅 Monday, June 8
⏰ 6:00 PM CST
📍 Live on VRC Facebook & YouTube

Whether your loss was recent or years ago, you’re welcome to join us.

🌈✨ Thank You, for Joining Our First Remember To Paws Live Stream ✨🌈

Tonight was something truly special as we came together to create memorial jars, share stories, and honor the animals who have left paw prints on our hearts forever.

Tonight, we were honored to create memorial jars for:

✨Leslee and her beloved dog, Phoebe
✨Joy and her beloved dog, Noble Spirit
✨Gerry and his beloved dog, Annie
✨Camille and her beloved Bubba Jo
✨Shayna, who lovingly purchased memorial jars for Tia Torres in memory of her beloved Jethro and Phoenix
✨Emily and her beloved hospice foster and longtime Villalobos resident, Khalia

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took a moment with us to honor and reflect on the life of our beloved Villalobos co-worker and friend, Sara. Her memory, compassion, and dedication to the animals she loved in her care will never be forgotten.

The love shared tonight was a beautiful reminder that grief is simply love with nowhere to go, and that none of us have to carry that grief alone.
Thank you for trusting us with these precious memories and allowing us to be a small part of your healing journey. ❤️

If you would like to order your own custom Grief Memorial Jar, please visit our Remember To Paws website, www.remembertopaws.pet

Until next time, may your memories bring comfort, your tears bring healing, and your beloved companions always walk beside you in spirit. 🌈

At Remember to Paws, one of the hardest parts of our mission is standing beside families, caregivers, and communities through goodbye. 💔

Yesterday, we said goodbye to sweet Khalia, a beloved VRC dog who was lovingly cared for by a VRC employee who gave her comfort, family, and love in her final chapter.

Please keep Emily in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.

Emily shared this beautiful goodbye to her girl:

Rest in Peace to my angel girl Khalia
And thank you to anyone who ever loved her💕

If you’ve ever volunteered to walk dogs in the city or toured Claiborne, you’ve likely met Khalia. She was in love with children so she was a real crowd pleaser. Not exaggerating that hundreds if not thousands of people have hugged and walked and pet this girl.

And usually when a hospice or senior spot opens up with me I’m pretty open to whoever needs me. But I wanted Khalia, I asked for her. I knew her for years and felt it was an honor to retire the little show pony. I felt she deserved to retire in the comfort of the presence of an old friend like me.

Because likely she wouldn’t ever be chosen as a pet for someone, she was not dog friendly. A fate that so often meets these otherwise perfect dogs. But she was chosen. And loved and cherished and had a kid of her own in Luna. And a mom in me.

All to say I guess I’m kind of in shock that she’s gone. I can hardly remember life without her in it. My heart hurts and I miss her so much already. I find solace in knowing she is at peace, pain free, and I hope she knows how treasured she was and always will be.

Rest in eternal paradise khaleelee girl💕 I’ll be seeing you.

Thank you to her wonderful VRC virtual adopter Naomi for loving her from afar, and thank you to Emily for opening her heart to a senior dog who deserved to know what it felt like to be chosen.

If you would like to help, donations made through the link below will go toward Khalia’s end-of-life costs and help support the Remember to Paws Foundation as we continue assisting pets and families through some of life’s most difficult goodbyes. 🖤🐾

Last week, VRC said goodbye to sweet Melon. 💔

Melon was a beloved VRC sponsor dog who was deeply loved by so many people, both near and far. Through his sponsors, caregivers, and the community that followed his journey, Melon knew what it meant to be cherished.

As many of you know, end-of-life care comes with emotional costs… but often financial ones too. We are helping raise funds to support Melon’s end-of-life expenses, keepsakes created in his honor, and the ongoing mission of the Remember to Paws Foundation.

At Remember to Paws, this is why we do what we do. We believe every pet deserves comfort, dignity, love, and remembrance at the end of their journey, and every family deserves support through those heartbreaking goodbyes.

If Melon’s story touched your heart and you would like to help honor his memory, donations of any size mean so much. ❤️

Thank you for loving Melon, remembering Melon, and helping us continue supporting pets and families navigating end-of-life care and grief.
