In Memoriam
You will forever be part of me and live on in my heart.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them
Spike Picard
Spike,
our sweet sweet boy, came into our lives and forever changed it in all the best ways. When people talk about that one soul dog you get when you’re 19 years old and have through every stage of your lives for 15 short years. That was him, hand picked from god just for us.
Since spike was a baby he would always suckle on our arms for comfort and if he wasn’t doing that he asked to be held in our arms at all times. Wherever mom and dad were spike would be. Our true little shadow. We will also miss all his sassy moments when he wanted food or treats with his scratches on our furniture and back leg kicks saying I want it now mom and dad no time to waste. All his long talks with sass, We will forever cherish all those little moments spent together. It has been the best and shortest 15 years of our lives. Spike showed us the true meaning of unconditional love and his absence will leave a void that can never be filled. We were unbelievably lucky to be your parents and we would do it all over again if we could.
Spike also leaves behind his brother Jake that will miss him tremendously. He put his paw prints on all our hearts forever.
Our last words to you before you closed your eyes forever was to find us again in a different life. Mama and papa will never forget you and love you until our last day when we can come meet you at the rainbow bridge with arms wide open. R.I.P my angel

Jada Butler
Jada, our beloved Baby Girl, came into our lives as a rescue from Atlanta, Georgia, in 2012. This spirited boxer had a unique personality – what we like to call her “attitude”. She was rambunctious on her walks, always playful with other dogs, and perhaps a bit glutinous at meal times. She was deeply loved, and gave us so much in return.
Her final days were challenging after she suffered a stroke. Pet Friends has always been our trusted choice for saying farewell. Averil, along with her daughter Julia, have been part of our lives for over 15 years. All our boxers have made their last journey to this beautiful and precious place to rest.
Thank you to the entire team for providing the best possible way to say goodbye to our loved ones.
Jenny, Steve, and family
Cora Dixon
Blitz da Silva
Thank you so much every one at Pet Friends for such wonderful care and patience beyond expectations during our loss, especially to Brian and Averil – many warmest thank yous.
This is Blitz on a beach in Rhode Island, USA – the farthest he and I have ever been in the US, during a week-long visit with Abel’s cousin about 7 years ago.
Blitz absolutely loved car rides and most often preferred that to eating! He has often bolted out the door past his dad and I just to invite himself on errands with the car!
This was taken after he had been in the water briefly since he was never a water dog and would panic as soon as he started to float!
He was such a gentle pup always, never nipped at anyone handling him, even during blood-draws and medical exams. He hated cats though and once even barked at a badly-painted cat mural!
He’s been our beloved boy since he came home at 8 weeks old.
Warmest thanks,
Doris, and on behalf of Abel and Blitz.
Manny White
On Aug . 28 my Miniature Schnauzer Manny crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He had been with me 17 years and 5 1/2 months. He was the sweetest gentlest boy. He brought me nothing but joy. He is very missed by me and his sister Bella. He will never be forgotten in my heart. He was the third dog of mine that Pet friends had taken care of the other two were Schatzi and Sophie. I so appreciated the care and concern that they took to let me know how their preparations were progressing from his safe arrival in their hands to their safe arrival back to me. I have my Bella with me now and as long Pet Friends is there they are the only ones that will care my dogs when they cross the Rainbow Bridge. They know how much a pet means to the owner and you know they care for your pet with love and respect and make the loss easier to bear .
Thank you so much to Julie, Averil and Staff

Elvis Purkey
“I was born in a ditch in the forest during a thunder storm. My doggie mother had gone outside for a potty break and when she did not return a search was launched. When she was found…there I was. She went on to have 5 more baby brothers for me in the comfort of the box prepared for her. I lived my entire life with the same family.
From the day I was born I was wild but I never wandered far from home. I lived at the end of a quiet road in the forest for 13 1/2 years. I chased squirrels, raccoons, rabbits and skunks. I ran off deer, bears and foxes. I was fearless and very protective of my home and family. I was never tied up or even on a leash when I lived in the forest. I could come and go, in and out as I pleased. I lived the life most dogs dream of.
Until the last month of my life I had never been really sick or gotten seriously hurt. I only got a bath once a year and only if I rolled in bear poop. And yet my fur was soft like a kitten, super shiny and glossy my entire life. I never suffered from “wet dog smell”. I never had my nails cut because I did not need it.
I was very particular about who I chose to accept into my life. There was only a small circle of people I actually liked. I never bit anyone but I was wary of people who rubbed me the wrong way which was pretty much everybody. But if I liked you…oh boy you knew it! I would howl with delight whenever my favourite humans came into view.
When I grew older I moved to an apartment in the city. I was very happy with that. The stairs in my old home had become a challenge. I had my fill of chasing wildlife and was ready to retire.
In retirement I finally had my human Mom all to myself. I no longer had to share treats with anyone. I used an elevator. Mom worked from home so she was all mine 24/7. I got regular full body massages as Mom and I fell asleep together in bed. Mom and I ate together too. I ate what she ate (unless she knew it was bad for me) but she always made sure there was something on the plate for me. She got a bite, I got a bite right off her fork. I always had three bowls of different dog foods available so I had a selection and yet I never gained too much weight. I lived a charmed existence and was loved very much. And I loved my favourite humans very much in return. I had a full and fantastic 15 years.”
Myla kuchinsky

We adopted Myla from the Compassionate Animal Adoption Rescue in Jan,2015. Myla was rescued from the streets of Kuujjuarapik Quebec with her two pups. At that time she was estimated to be about six years old. Her two pups were adopted almost immediately but Myla had to stay with a foster family for a while until she was introduced to us. From the first moments of our meeting we knew that we were a pack. When she finally came to live with us she knew she had a forever home. She loved the outdoors and long walks. We did everything together…we were a pack!
Myla became ill at the end of June 2022 and despite all efforts her condition worsened to a point where we had to make the dreaded decision to let her go. We couldn’t let you suffer just so we could have you with us. You will always be with us.
The day before your journey you had some steak and bacon. You didn’t eat that much but you enjoyed what you did eat. We went for a short walk to your park nearby. You gave us a good day but I know that you were telling us that you were ready.
On the morning of July 20, 2022 while waiting for the vet to come we tried to keep you on your bed in the house but you who were always very strong willed wanted to go outside and lie down on you pad on the deck.
She lay there peacefully waiting for the vet to come. Dr. Fotovati (who is the most compassionate man you could meet) came that morning to help Myla along with her journey. It was sad and we cried but we took solace in the fact that Myla left us while lying in the place of her choosing with the sun shining and the birds chirping. We had almost eight wonderful years together. We will miss you forever.
Rest in Peace My Best Friend.

Oreo was my Newfie friend. He was a 180 lb. puppy. What a joy it was to look into his deep brown eyes and know that his love was unconditional. As it is with everyone who has a Newfoundlander, Oreo was not owned by me, I was owned by him and I loved every minute of it.

Harley Butler
Harley’s special mission on earth was as a therapy dog for abused children. Harley had been rescued from extreme cruelty and because he too had suffered through abuse ,he had a profound understanding .He was able to guide the children to express love, and to trust again as he had learned to do. His loyality and compassion had a forever impact on these young lives, that he was destined to help. He lived his life of 8 years with his loving family and sister boxer Zoe. .Thank you Pet Friends for helping us to cope with the emotion and loss of this very unique Boxer dog. Your kindness and sensitivity during this difficult time was a blessing !
Harley is forever loved and missed by the Butler Family and all the children whose lives he healed

In memory of my beautiful, loyal, faithful, loveable, adorable sweetheart Truffle! I adopted you from Animatch dog rescue when you were 3 months old. We were lucky to share 12 wonderful years together and we build a very strong bond. If love would have saved you, you would have lived forever! My gentle special angel, kind soul, the best dog in the world, my true companion, we understood, cared and supported each other.
I am heartbroken not able to be by your side, I am devastated, hurt, lost, I feel empty and lots of pain in my heart. Everyday, I cry so many tears, I miss your kisses, hugs, playing with toys, car rides, walks, doing funny things to make me laugh, your adorable face, unconditional love, etc. I will love you forever, remember you always and in my heart eternally. RIP run and play with Patachou, Choco and Candy at Rainbow Bridge until we meet again and be together for eternity. Will see you in Heaven sweetTruffle! ❤️️

Toby

Toby
Toby was two years old when we adopted him Nov 2010 through Petfriends and Gerdie’s Rescues. He was full of life and mischief. Toby had a rough start in life, winding up in the SPCA numerous times. Thanks to very caring people, namely someone who noticed him at the SPCA, and called Gerdie’s Rescues, Thus his life was spared. Toby underwent rehabilitation with a trainer for some time until our golden retriever Toby got the green light to be eligible for adoption. A lot of time and effort went into preparing him for this. Wonderful people did much to give this dog a chance for a loving forever home. And yet it still took a lot of patience and love and perseverance on our part until Toby was able to trust people again and not be afraid of them. And it was all so worth it! He turned out to be so loving and loyal, the most beloved dog we ever had. All our family and friends got the royal welcome from Toby when they came to visit, and many neighbours enjoyed him too. When Toby was diagnosed with ocular melanoma at age 12 and already too late for surgeries as the tumours were already in his lungs the day came when we were faced with that dreaded decision of euthanasia. It was Averil who recommended a very kind veterinarian who came to our house at this time. Toby was able to stay in his familiar surroundings and my husband and I were at Toby’s side right to the end.
It’s so hard to say good-bye. You are so missed, dear beautiful, loving, Toby.
Petfriends provided an outstanding, caring service. Our most heartfelt thanks to you, Averil, and your staff for your service, done with such dignity and love for our dog.

Jack The Boxer
Jack The Boxer
Sadly, our boy Jack left us on January 3rd 2020, he was 10 years old, he had brain cancer.
He was found 9 years ago at the SPCA Montreal by Gerdy’s Rescue, Gerdy called us to see if we would be interested in adopting this bundle of high energy. As a devotee of this beautiful breed, we opened our arms to him in spite of Jack being a hyper crazy dog. With our experience and our loving care, he became the most loyal, loving and courageous dog we have ever had. On January 3 2020 we chose to have a euthanasia at Pet friends Funeral Home: they have taken care of all our dogs aftercare. Jack passed away peacefully with no pain in the caring hands of Dr Bart Sikorski. Beside him was his loving family including his boxer side kick Jada Thank you Averil and Pet friends’ staff, from the bottom of our hearts for seeing that Jack could have this peaceful journey to Rainbow Bridge Love to you all Jenny, Steve and family.

You were so very special to me! You gave me so much joy! There are no words to express the bond we shared and the love we had for one another. You were an extraordinary most loyal companion I have ever shared my life with. You were a happy, healthy, and such a loving, gentle, and sweet cocker. You were one of a kind. I miss you so much ”Boy”…. tears are rolling down …… but this time you are not here to ease my sorrow. How I wish this was all a bad dream. My heart hurts and the pain is unbearable. I knew that one day, this sad day would come; I dreaded it ………You were a true gentleman, so refined; you always walked so happily with your head up high and with so much pride. We will celebrate your birthday and I will have your Harvey’s Junior Burger. I remember how much you loved that treat ………
Thank you Robbie for a remarkable, most amazing 14 years and 8 months you have given me. You were the “BEST” Robbie Boy, you will “ALWAYS” and “FOREVER” be in my heart.
Good Bye “My Sweet Boy”, we will always love you. Rest in Peace.

Jack
Jack was my husband’s first pet, adopted from the SPCA after being found in a dumpster. He was an amazing dog and a great friend. He greeted any stranger (2 and 4 legged) into his home with a good butt snif, then immediately adopted them as family members. He also trained our two other dogs and taught them that if you hung out close to the kitchen, you might be able to catch food as it fell to the floor. He loved a good car ride and LOVED to chase deers. He will be missed dearly.

Moose
Moose
Moose was my rock through very hard times especially the last 4yrs.
I feel so empty without him but know how tired he was and how much pain he was in. As he took his last breath with his head in my lap, I felt a sense of fear. How will I go on without my best friend, my rock, my confidence? He made me the person I am today believe it or not. He taught me so much. I wasn’t a very good people person before Moose came along. But when you walk down the street with a 3.5 foot tall 165 lb great dane, people will stop you and talk to you. He gave me the confidence to step out of my shell and venture outside of my comfort zone. Hence, how I eventually ended up heavily involved in animal rescue. Moose was the big foster brother to so many little foster dogs that came through my home.
He definitely leaves this earth with his paw prints on the hearts of many. Sleep easy my big boy.
Your paws will forever be in my heart. Love me.

You came into our lives unexpected…and what a surprised you were. Such a special girl you were.
Playing hockey, playing fetch, what a kitten! The memories of you being a kleptomaniac, stealing everything from us…food, toys, clothes, hockey tape….always made us laugh. Anything missing in the house, we always knew it was you! We’ll always remember you walking with something in your mouth.
We had you in our lives for too short a time. From the first day you came into our lives, you had brought us laughter, joy and so much love ♥.
You were dear to us and all the love you gave us will last forever in our hearts ♥.

Marley, you will always be our special gentle boy.

My dear, sweet Misha,
We met on a cold day in February, on the Upper West side. You were so affectionate! From the moment we met I knew we were meant to be together. You cuddled up in my lap and declared me yours. We had so much fun together . . . we traveled to many places – by plane, by train, by ferry, by bus, by car . . . You stayed with me in new and exciting places and never once had trouble with it. As long as we were together you were happy. When your brother went to the Rainbow Bridge I never imagined that you’d stay for as long as you did. You were such a courageous boy!
The days are long and hard without you. I look for your happy smiling eyes, your perky Aby ears and your beautiful red fur to caress, but your spot is empty. I miss our special times together Misha. I dream of us playing together again, with Sacha.
I’m sure that Sacha was so happy to see you when you got to the Rainbow Bridge. I hope you are playing and cuddling with him as you did while you were both on Earth.
Thank you for staying with me for so long . . . you were very brave for such a long time, my sweet little bunny-cat.
I will love you forever.

Kimo
Kimo
I lost a special friend today that you can’t replace, looking at his empty bed I still can see his face. But as those precious years went by and we both aged and grew, I’d find him often slowing down but-we had still so much to do. He did his guard dog duty well each time the doorbell rang; Strangers surely couldn’t see my gentle friend–behind those fangs. When he started sleeping next to me it was this his special clue, because he felt the end was near I only wish I knew.
My Kimo was a special dog I know he gave his best, but as I looked deep into his eyes I knew it was time, for him to rest. It will truly be a struggle I don’t know how I’ll face each day, I had to let him go–I know but in my heart he’ll always stay.
I know he’s watching over us he’ll be with me when I cry, so with one more kiss on his beloved head I told my Kimo goodbye. All of our family and friends we were blessed to be in your life.
Love Jody & Lucas & Cedric & Yohan & Alexya

Romy « LOVING LIFE »
How 12 years have passed so fast. You came into my life at 6 months, unsure and afraid and we spent the next 12 years loving every second together. You learned to trust and love and I learnt patience and the true meaning of “man’s best friend”. Over time we added a brother named Cody. You became his guide and he your protector. The 2 of you were a match made in heaven… gentle souls who loved everyone in the their lives. You will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to have met you. You will forever remain my Pretty Girl, always happy, always by my side, a true gift. Thanks

For my BamBam and Bushy tail I still remember the first day we met. When I heard my mom walk in I ran down the stairs and you were looking up at me. I hugged you and told you how sorry I was for the man who hurt you and from that day on we stayed together. I promised you no one would ever hurt you again. On your last day I held you in my arms and told you how sorry I was as they put you to sleep. I knew you were comforted because we were together… you were so peaceful in my arms. Your brothers, Winston and Shadow miss you deeply. It’s so quiet without hearing you bark anymore. Mom, Dad and Shannon are sad they did not get to say goodbye but knew it would be selfish to keep you any longer. I promised you I would not let you suffer and would stay with you until the end. Now I know you will be watching over me. I’ll love you forever and I will never forget how you changed my life. Karyna
Keya
Keya
Our beloved Keya came into our lives when I was asked to accompany a friend to the dog pound in Cold Lake, Alberta to inquire if her son could volunteer there. As a joke I said “Don’t let me come home with a dog!” You can see the result was meant to be. Bringing 18 month old Keya home soon brought to our attention that she would be the car puking wonder from day one, resulting in me becoming very talented in driving with one hand while holding a bucket under her head as we drove the short distance to obedient and agility classes. Over the years and many car rides later she became a very good car and airplane traveller. The confessed favourite of all the family dogs by her human grandparents, she brought to our lives so much love, laughter and joy. At age 15, she is at peace but her absence leaves a large hole in our hearts and lives and will be sadly missed.
Tibbs
In memory of our beloved Tibbs
Summer 1993 – February 14, 2013
The years of joy and love will live in our hearts forever. You were a very special creature. From the first day you wandered into our lives and decided to stay the love was unconditional. My lap was your safe haven. Your trust was evident sleeping soundly you remained motionless in my lap if left undisturbed for hours. Now, you have a new place to call home, free from suffering and sunshine to keep you warm and safe. Sleep my Tibbs sleep knowing we will be reunited in the afterlife.
Love for ever,
Glen, Kelly, Carole

My dear little Millie,
We had such a good life together and it was far too short. We all miss you so much.
You were so easy going , friendly, affectionate, kind and curious. How you loved treats and finding someone who would play with you with your laser light. Unfortunately your bright nose always gave you away when you peered from behind doors and curtains waiting to attack whoever went by.
Now it’s time for you to go and find your old pal Wee Willie who has been waiting patiently for you to join him.
Love from all of us.
Duddley
Duddley Hodge January, 2000 – January 18, 2013
At 5 years of age, from Gerdy’s Rescue, Duddley came home with us 7 years ago on Mother’s Day, and became our faithful and loving companion. As soon as we seen him scoot across the floor to us with his little tail going a mile a minute and his ears flying out, we know he was going to be in our hearts forever.
He LOVED Tim Bits… When he knew he was getting one (which was almost every morning in the last few months) he would drool & vibrate till he got it. Even Tim Horton’s knew we were getting a Tim bit for him when we placed our breakfast order and if we forgot to order it, they would say (“Tim Bit for the Dog?”)
You were such a strong & brave Little Man, in fighting the pain you were a real trooper. We are going to miss you so much in our lives.
R.I.P. Duddley doo, and play nice with Cuddles and April, and enjoy and share the Tim Bits we sent with you.
Thank you Averil & staff of Pet Friends for your kindness and help through this difficult time. You have made easier to go through this and could not have done it without you.
You will be forever in our hearts our precious little boy, and will never be forgotten.
With all our love from Mom & Dad

This is our beloved Porscha who we adopted from the SPCA fourteen and a half years ago at seven months. She had been beaten by her previous family. She has been the most wonderful loving friend anyone could ever have. She’s always had a mind of her own and a sense of humour. Her eyes talk to you… she is almost human. We will always love her and miss her and she will always be in our hearts. Love Mummy, Chris and Matthew
Hogan
Hogan June 7,2003 – Sept. 3,2012
You were also known as “Hollywood” because of your looks. Your passion was your early morning walks to the park and play ball then your swimming pool. You disliked squirrels and chased them out of our yard but nearly caught one by the puff of its tail. You loved us unconditionally. You will never be forgotten. Love Mommy, Daddy & Stefany

Our beautiful girl will forever be missed, but never forgotten. At 8 years old, you were a gentle creature I adopted with the intent of providing a stable and loving home… I never anticipated how much I would be grateful for the unconditional love and happiness you brought to my life. We feel such an emptiness without you now, but hopefully in time, we can honor your memory by adopting another. Flanny, Mommy and Daddy will always love you.

Griffon (Wire Hair Pointing, Korthal) female- 13 ½ yrs.
Canada Day, thirteen years ago, you came to our home as a puppy, and you added your soul to our family. Your honesty, kind heart, intuitiveness, your happy howl that went “roooooof, your way of getting the nearest toy (or shoe) to greet everyone with your grace – these attributes will be with us in our souls forever. Though you were visually challenged from birth, it never, EVER stopped you from being completely and positively thrilled with life and the world that we built together, each and every day. In our hearts we felt you were ready to go, we just couldn’t let go until you gave us that sign. Words were not needed then, although we know you felt our unconditional love and that you have the peace of mind and body that you so deserve.
You will always be our “protector-dog, watchful evermore.
You made us a better family and are always with us.
Cathy, Andy, Amy and Cory.
