Our Sweet Samantha Tinkerbell graced this world on January 29, 2010 and left peacefully on May 17, 2022. Our baby girl was an angel, sweet as ever and loved her cuddle buddy crazy fun loving brother Stanford Lonestar with all her heart. Our hearts are crushed, but we know she lived a good life and hung on to make sure she hugged and kissed her Stanford. We miss her presence in every room of the house, our good morning hugs, wet nose bumps, feet warmer, excited greetings at the door, beautiful smile and everything about her. We know Samantha is lining up in Doggie Heaven waiting for her snack, running and jumping in the pool and looking for a good place to sleep. Daddy, Mama, Joey and Stanford loves you baby girl. Our Sweet Angel Samantha, forever in our hearts and memories, R.I.P. baby girl.
Dr. Benson started Paws into Grace in 2007.
She wanted to give pets and their parents a beautiful last encounter that didn't have to be in an unfamiliar office where pets were often frightened. The empathy she shows each family creates a lasting impression on them. In her free time, Dr. Benson enjoys running and spending time with her family, dogs, cats, and chickens.

Paws into Grace was so amazing when we had to say goodbye to our 16 year old pup. Dr. Derek was kind, loving and so respectful of our wishes and took amazing care of our Daisy girl as she crossed the rainbow bridge. It’s always a hard choice to have to make but Paws into Grace gave my family and our pup the best goodbye we could have asked for given the circumstances. Thank you for helping our family through this difficult process. 🌈🩷

Our beloved Sadie has been the greatest blessing in our lives. Her final day on this earth was simply perfect and beautiful. She enjoyed her sniffari on the grass, followed by the joyful indulgence of every treat her heart desired. When Dr. Benson and Dr. Laura arrived, Sadie greeted them both with curious, friendly sniffs.
We are beyond grateful for Dr. Benson’s and Dr. Laura’s sincere, gentle, and loving care. They were so kind, supportive, and respectful throughout the entire process. Dr. Benson tenderly massaged Sadie, which she adored, and then quietly and compassionately explained each step of the euthanasia process.
Because of their compassion and grace, our Sadie experienced the most peaceful, easy transition imaginable. It was everything we could have hoped for, and we are truly grateful — and at peace.

Paws into Grace was so loving and patient with me as my grief was overwhelming when my Boxer, Charlie of 15 years, left. They provided so much genuine compassion and updated us on all stages of the process. I am beyond grateful for all of the staff at Paws into Grace. From Josh--who picked up my beloved Charlie-- to the creative artist --Brooke-- who patiently helped me decide on the correct piece of jewelry. Thank you Paws Into Grace.

From the moment we had to make the hard decision, to receiving all of our sweet girls ashes and imprints, Paws Into Grace was wonderful and heaven sent. Our sweet girl Malia had a rapid decline and we found ourselves making the decision to put her down one night at midnight. I called them and left them a voicemail as it was midnight. The next morning right at opening, they gave me a call back and were able to squeeze us in that same morning at around 11am. It was so hard but even during the phone call and scheduling they make it as smooth of an experience as possible. We had no expectations as this was our first dog. But the moment the veterinarian walked into our home, it was such a peaceful and heart warming experience to have the privilege of our sweet girl passing away peacefully on top of her favorite spot on the couch, on her favorite blanket. Every step of the way, the doctor was so sweet and gentle with our girl. She explained every step of the way and we NEVER felt rushed. She emphasized for us to take our time in every step and was so kind when she acknowledged that the last thing we wanted to do was choose what items we would like customized but that it was pertinent so assure so that we get them back to us as soon as possible. Once they took our baby girl, our items that we had imprinted and customized were so beautifully crafted. It was the best experience and all worth the price that made a terrible moment into a peaceful moment. Thank you Paws Into Grace 🙏🏽🫶🏽🐾🕊️

Our beloved 20 yo kitty went over the rainbow last night with grace and dignity thanks to Paws into Grace and Dr Caroline Seitz. Dr Caroline set us at ease with describing how the process will be performed and also put us at ease when struggling with, “is it the right time for our Buckwheat”. Dr Seitz was so caring for Buckwheat and us. We cradled Buckwheat in our arms as he went to sleep.
