Some of our Pets Alive sponsors and supporters have asked for a place to memorialize their lost loved ones, and make a donation to the sanctuary in their name. In response to that request we have started a page to commemorate their passing. They are here with us for but a short time, and their passings leave a great hole in our heart.
We must of course start with our own, beloved Sara Whalen. Without her, none of this would exist. To see her memorial page, please click here. |

You were always destined to be my dog, one way or the other. It took a long time but you finally came home where you belonged, and later died in my arms. You will always hold a very special place in my heart, Baron. You were a unique dog from the first time I ever laid eyes on you. I hope that you have finally found peace. I'm sorry I did not save you sooner.

I was devastated to hear that sweet October had passed away. I have loved her since I first saw her picture on the website 6 years ago. Those first years were always spent at arm's length; she was so very shy. But just a couple of months before she passed away, October actually let me pet her and feed her treats. Her many admirers at Pets Alive gave her the gift of knowing human love and security before she died. That is a beautiful gift indeed. Rest in peace, little girl. You were dearly loved and are sorely missed.

Zack you were a burst of sunshine and light in my life. You made me smile every single day that you were with me. Thank you for teaching me so much, and for being such a joy in my life. Truly you were a one in a million dog. Life will never be the same without you.

Boo was a sweet, gentle soul who loved going for long walks and hanging out with her sisters Ruth and Harley. I cherish the memory of the time I spent with her. She was very much loved and is very much missed.

Codi Muscarella was only 11 years old, but never believed for a minute that he was any older than 11 months. He fought a firece battle with hemangiosarcoma, and even though he was terminal, we thought he might actually win. He lived his life like one big celebration, and his love of life was possibly only surpassed by his beauty. Although his entire life was one big party, the last two months of his life were especially wonderful, as he was able to say goodbye to old friends, some of whom he hadn't seen in quite a while. He will be sorely missed by his mom, Nichole, and his kitty brother, Max.

Bubba Peterson was a gorgeous little Lhasa Apso who spent his days with his mom, who gave him a very full, happy life. Bubba was a little dog with a big heart who loved taking walks with his mom, Rolayne, and hanging out with his dad, Kenny. His deep, soulful eyes would light up when his big sister, Kristen, would come for a visit. He was as entertaining as he was beautiful, and being around him could make anyone smile. After fighting hard against Cushings disease, he is finally at peace.

Cooper Jenkins was one of those dogs you meet and know right away that he is an "old soul." Gentle, loving, and always right there by your side for the journey. He was a beautiful Cocker Spaniel who loved to be with his family, whether it was at home, on the boat, or in front of a big plate of pasta with his ears pulled back to keep him from getting sauce all over his shiny golden yellow coat. Cooper gave his family 14 years of unconditional love. Rosie, Bob, Christian, Harrison, and doggie brother Lucky and kitty sister Daisy will never forget this one in a million, sweet, loving soul.

Jason was a senior shepard who spent many many years at Pets Alive. For a while he lived in the gray house where many visitors stayed and he stole all of our hearts. He loved just hanging out with you, getting belly rubs, sharing the futon, and trying to steal your food (especially anything with tomato sauce). More recently, he became the office dog. Jason would always greet you with his booming bark and then, after inspecting you, sit next to you for some loving. He will be missed greatly.

Sally (on the left) was a dog that lived here a very long time. She was adopted by a very wonderful family who loved her and cared for her, but one day a trip to the vet found a serious medical problem. During her surgery, the mass was discovered to be so large that it was inoperable. The difficult decision to let her go was made, and Sally passed on. We here at Pets Alive are so very grateful to the DiMarsico's for opening their hearts and their home to this sweet dog. Thanks to them, Sally got to share in the love of a family, the warmth of a home and the companionship of other dogs in her final time on earth. We are so very thankful for that. Rest in peace, sweet Sally.
