Second Thursdays, 5–7 pm

At HHS, or any animal shelter, it is not uncommon to meet people who are experiencing grief after losing a beloved pet. Many are looking to adopt another pet, some are healing through volunteering, and others are just trying to learn how to be in the same room with an animal again after such a loss. Sadly, in our world, there is a stigma against grieving pets and thus these individuals often feel as if they have no support system.

Our monthly Pet Loss Grief Support Group seeks to be a safe place for participants to mourn their animals in a healthy way while also learning coping techniques to help them move through their grief.​ Meetings will be mainly discussion based, but will include educational aspects as well.

• Thursday, August 8, 5–7 pm
• Thursday, September 12, 5–7 pm

This is a free support group, but we do require that participants register at least 24 hours in advance. You will be able to register 60 days in advance of each date listed above.
