In an effort to assist our Village in all things pet related.  Paw Works has teamed up with HealGrief.org to bring you “Pets Count Too!”

 “Pets Count Too!” a pilot program by HealGrief.org, co-sponsored in part by Paw Works, offers a way to celebrate our furry friends lives after they are no longer with us.  Pets Count Too! offers a no-fee platform allowing children and families an opportunity to memorialize a beloved pet and offers life tools to aid in a healthy grief recovery.

We understand that pets are as much a family member as any other member of the family.  While for the elderly, and for those whom have chosen not to have a human family, a pet is a “child” and life revolves around the care and love for our pet.  Yet few understand the grief we humans experience after a beloved pet has died. 

The death of a pet is often a child’s first experience with death and the grief surrounding it.  For families, it is often a first experience on how to comfort one’s self as well as navigate and comfort other family members through grief’s journey.
