Sometimes the memories are the part we need most.

Maybe it’s the sound of their paws coming down the hallway, the spot they always slept, the way they greeted you at the door, or simply having them beside you.

Write it down. The little things are often the things we miss the most.

🕯️🌼 A CANDLE TO GUIDE THEM HOME 🐾

October 27 is Día de los Mu***os for Pets, a special day to remember and celebrate the animals we have loved and lost. 🤍

Throughout the entire month of October leading up to October 27, the Remember to Paws Foundation will be collecting names and creating memorial candles for our virtual altar.

For every $5 donation to Remember to Paws, we will write your pet’s name on a candle and add it to the altar in their memory. 🕯️

Then, on October 27, we’ll reveal our completed virtual altar filled with all of their candles and celebrate every precious animal represented. 🌼🐾

To add your pet:

🌼 Donate $5 through PayPal:
https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Remembertopaws

🐾 Include your pet’s name in the donation note
🕯️ We’ll create their memorial candle
🌼 We’ll add it to our virtual altar
🤍 Their name will be included when we reveal the altar on October 27

Whether you lost them last week, last year or many years ago, their place in your heart doesn’t have an expiration date. This is a chance to say their name again and celebrate the life and love you shared.

And this is only the beginning.

Our goal for next year is to create an in-person Día de los Mu***os for Pets celebration, with a beautiful physical altar where our community can come together and honor the animals who changed our lives.

But this year, we’re starting right here. 🖤

All October long, help us fill our altar with their names.

A candle for their name.
A light for their memory.
A place on the altar because they will always have a place in our hearts. 🕯️🐾🌼

Our new Remember to Paws blankets and totes are officially on the website!

We absolutely love how these turned out. They’re a beautiful way to remember the pets who have left paw prints on our hearts, or to give to someone who may be missing their best friend.

Even better, proceeds go to the Remember to Paws Foundation and help us continue supporting people through pet loss and helping with end-of-life care, cremations and keepsakes.

Día de los Mu***os is rooted in something that means so much to us at Remember to Paws: love doesn’t end when a life does.

It’s a time to remember the ones we’ve lost, tell their stories, honor the love they gave us, and keep a place for them in our lives. And of course, that includes the animals who left their paw prints all over our hearts.

We created these shirts as a tribute to every dog, cat, and beloved pet waiting for us on the other side. 🌙🐾

Until we meet again.

Short Sleeve • $35
Long Sleeve • $40

Proceeds support the work of Remember to Paws Pet Loss Grief Support, helping us continue providing grief support, resources, and assistance to families facing the loss of a beloved pet.

It’s celebrated in Oct 27th and you don’t to miss a chance to show everyone how much your pet meant.

It has been an incredibly heavy couple of weeks for our friends at Villalobos Rescue Center - Life 4 Paws, Inc..

First, sweet Nobel, who was fostered and deeply loved by one of the VRC employees, passed away.

Then on Thursday, Jenny and our friends with the Kajun Kitties had to say goodbye to their sweet Hattie.

And yesterday, another devastating loss. Tia and the VRC family said goodbye to Barney, one of the beloved and infamous “Bluez Brothers”, after lymphoma progressed far too quickly.

There really aren’t words for what it feels like to watch loss after loss hit the people who spend every single day caring for animals that so many others forgot. Their hearts are hurting. They are exhausted. And somehow, the work still has to continue.

This is one of the reasons Remember To Paws exists.

When VRC loses one of their own, we try to step in and cover end-of-life expenses, cremation, and memorial keepsakes whenever we can. We want the caretakers who loved these animals, sat with them, cleaned their kennels, gave medications, celebrated their good days, and held them through their last ones to be able to bring a piece of them home. And by helping cover those costs, we can also take one more financial burden off VRC so their resources can continue going toward the hundreds of animals still depending on them.

Right now, we are asking our community to help us carry a little bit of this weight.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us honor Nobel, Hattie, Barney, and the precious souls who will unfortunately need us next.

For the animals who were loved until the very end.
For the people whose hearts break every time they have to say goodbye.
And for the work that has to continue even while everyone is grieving.

Please consider donating and sharing, and please keep our friends at Villalobos in your thoughts as they navigate so much heartbreak. 🤍

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭:

Sometimes the things we miss most aren’t the big moments.

It’s the sound of their paws coming down the hallway.
The way they stared at you when you opened the refrigerator.
Their favorite spot on the couch.
The ridiculous nickname that somehow became their actual name.

What is one completely ordinary thing about your pet that you never want to forget?

Write it down. 🐾
Those tiny memories are part of their story too.
