Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

Dr. Shannon arrived right on time and was extremely pleasant right from the start. She had a way of comforting us so we could relax at this most devastating time. She got down on the floor and greeted our Megara with a friendly smile and a scratch behind her ears. It was apparent from the start that she loved animals. Dr. Shannon made sure we had the time we needed to say good-bye before beginning the process. She allowed Megara to show her the room we had prepared. It was as if Megara knew exactly what was going on. Dr. Shannon asked us questions about our baby girl in conversation instead of filling out a check list. She explained what she was going to do to help Megara through the process. She was so gentle and compassionate with Megara when she seemed to be frightened. Our baby girl drifted off to the angels in the comfort of her home surrounded by so much love. This would not have been possible without Lap of Love and Dr. Shannon. The service they provide is invaluable to people who include these unconditionally loving creatures as part of the family. We were incredibly touched by Dr. Shannon's tribute to our beloved Megara on the Lap of Love Facebook page. She sent us an email with such loving words and the link to the page. She was so detailed in her account of the room we prepared, all the while we had no idea that she took the time to take it all in.

Dr. Maggie was incredible. Truly a professional at what she does and we couldn't have asked for a better vet to support us through this. We appreciate her down to earth and calming energy in a time of sadness for us and her ability to guide us through a difficult process. Frank fell in love with her immediately and we know she would've been one of his favorite people if he'd known her longer. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for taking careful care of our big grey boy.

I wanted to say, thank you for coming to our home to spend those last few moments with Zoe, and to make sure her passing was peaceful, for her, and for us. I can't tell you how much I appreciated your compassion, and the way you sat with her and looked into her eyes and pet her. I could tell she loved you; Zoe loved everyone. The house is so different without her now, she brought so much entertainment, love and laughter. She was quite a character, as you allowed me to share with you during your brief stay. Thank you for letting me tell you a little of who she was, it made the entire ordeal easier. Your work has got to be difficult, and I know that you have seen and experienced some awful things in your time caring for animals. I wanted to thank you again for being here with Zoe, and us, and for the sad but important work you do.

Dr. Adelini was so kind, patient and gentle. Dewey was asleep by the fireplace when she came to our home. This was his favorite sleeping spot! She explained exactly what she was going to do and she didn’t rush. She assured us that Dewey wasn’t going to feel any pain and he passed away so peacefully. She made us a clay paw print and saved some of his fur. Dr. Adelini was an angel and we appreciate her and all of the staff at Lap of Love.
