🌈🐾 480 Beautiful Souls. 480 Goodbyes. Countless Memories. 🐾🌈

Since opening Paws of Serenity in July 2023, I've had the honor of helping 480 beloved pets peacefully cross the Rainbow Bridge in the comfort of their own homes.

Each one has left paw prints on the hearts of those who loved them, and each one has touched mine as well. ❤️

While saying goodbye is never easy, being able to provide a peaceful, compassionate farewell in a familiar environment, surrounded by the people they love most, is something I hold close to my heart.

These 480 pets represent only the in-home euthanasia side of Paws of Serenity. In addition to end-of-life care, I have the privilege of helping many other pets through rehabilitation, acupuncture, and veterinary chiropractic care — supporting their comfort, mobility, and quality of life throughout their journey.

Whether I'm helping a pet move more comfortably, managing chronic pain, or guiding a family through one of the most difficult decisions they'll ever make, my goal has always been the same: to help pets live as comfortably and peacefully as possible, at every stage of life.

To the families who have trusted me with their beloved companions, thank you. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, sharing your pets' stories, and allowing me to be part of their lives.

And to the 480 beautiful souls who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge with Paws of Serenity — you may be gone from our arms, but never from our hearts. 🐾❤️

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Until we meet again. 🌈

I’m happy to share that Paws of Serenity now offers Cherry payment plans as a financing option for both in-home euthanasia services and alternative medicine appointments.

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet or choosing supportive, quality-of-life care is never easy—and financial pressure shouldn’t make those moments harder. Cherry allows you to break payments into manageable monthly options, so you can focus on what truly matters: being present with your pet.

✔ Simple application
✔ Flexible payment plans
✔ Soft credit check (does not affect credit score)
✔ Quick decisions

You can explore estimated payment options using the link below.

If you have questions about whether this is a good fit for your situation, I’m always here to help guide you.

Caring for pets—and the people who love them—with compassion, every step of the way. 🐾

Pet Memorial:
Casey was a rescue dog from Craigslist. His first owners kept him in a 45" screened enclosure. Young couple, with a new baby, they had no clue.

He learned to run the zipper from the inside with his nose. Opening it enough to get out. Then running around, tearing things up, peeing and pooping everywhere.

We were together for 12 years, he was my constant buddy. Saved my life a few times, and I think I saved his a couple.

At the end he stopped eating, drinking. Shrunk down to about half his weight of a year before. Slept in a padded bed with extra padding mostly all the time.

At the end I did not know what was right. So I went out on a limb and asked Chat GPT. He included Paws of Serenity's phone number. Next morning we called. Filled out the form, got quote including cremation. A little after 3pm the vet gave him a shot in the butt. He walked around for a couple of minutes. Then laid down and slowly drifted into deeper and deeper sleep. Then doc gave him another 1cc shot into the body. And in 3 minutes he had passed.

Peacefully, quietly, with no fuss or fighting.

We will be calling them again when needed.

The doctor was incredibly nice, professional, friendly, helpful.
I can not give them a glowing enough review.
They are first rate.

So let me leave you with this.

In a years time, what will you remember?

I was scared, overwhelmed, and worried about money when my old dog was nearing the end. More than anything, I didn’t want him to suffer.

In the end, the money didn’t matter—his peace did.

If you’re going through this right now, focus on their comfort. That’s what matters most. You’re not wrong for wanting a peaceful end for them—that’s love.

In a years time you won't remember the money, or the fear.

You will very likely remember their pain. You will always remember how you chose to deal with it.

Thank you to Casey's owners for this very thoughtful memorial.
