This event will feature poems of remembrance to honor our four-legged loved ones and a leaf placement ceremony to pay tribute to their memory. This community event will feature memorial poetry readings, a name reading, and stories of remembrance.
Memorial leaves placed during the ceremony will remain available for viewing in the shelter for the year to honor and pay tribute to pets who will remain forever in our hearts.
