Paws for Compassion

05/26/2026

🐾 WOOFSTOCK is this Saturday, May 30th! 🐾
9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Prescott Valley Civic Center Amphitheater (7501 Skoog Blvd, Prescott Valley)

Come on out this weekend for adoptions, contests, demonstrations, food trucks and more!

Stop by Paws for Compassion to learn more about my compassionate support for people and the animals they love—including my animal chaplaincy work - pet loss and grief support, caregiving support, blessings, and meaningful rituals for life’s transitions.

I’d also love to connect with veterinary clinics, rescue organizations, shelters, and animal care teams interested in wellness support for the humans doing this deeply meaningful—and often emotionally demanding work. I offer compassionate self-care support, lunch-and-learns, and conversations around grief, compassion fatigue, and the human-animal bond.

✨ Plus, stop by for some fun free goodies for you and your dog companions! 🐾

Come say hello and celebrate the beautiful bond we share with animals! 💛

🐶 May 20 – National Rescue Dog Day

Rescue dogs don’t just find homes…
They find hearts—and change them forever. 🐶💛

Every rescued animal carries a story. And when we open our lives to them, something sacred happens:
Healing goes both ways.

Today, we honor the resilience of rescue dogs… and the humans who say yes to them.
If you’ve ever been loved by a rescue, you know—it’s something truly special.

🐾💛 It’s National Pet Week—a beautiful reminder of the love, comfort, and connection our animals bring into our lives every single day.

From quiet moments on the couch to the ways they show up for us when we need them most… our animals are so much more than companions—they are family, teachers, and heart-healers.

This week, take a little extra time to celebrate them:
✨ Go for that longer walk
✨ Offer a special treat or enrichment
✨ Pause for a moment of gratitude
✨ Or simply sit with them and be present

And if you’re holding a pet in your heart right now, this week can be a gentle time to honor their memory and the love that never leaves.

However you celebrate, may it be filled with connection, compassion, and appreciation for the animals who make our lives whole. 🐶🐱💛
