In Memory of Noodle

To the very best friend in the whole world….our sweet baby Noodle. Here’s to all the car rides with the windows down, all the feathergrass you could ever roll in, every salty sandy trip to the beach for sunset, all the bike rides for extra pets at breweries, every chewy you could ever want, all the sunny porch naps, cuddles and snuggles for days where no one ever stops petting, all the toys that crinkle and squeak, always having a foot or a lap to rest your head on, and every glorious smell you could ever follow with that incredible nose. You’re free sweet baby. We rescued Noodle from Baja Dog Rescue in 2013. He was “the last of the litter” and while we weren’t looking for another dog at the time, we agreed to foster him so he wouldn’t have to go back to the shelter alone. 5 months of fostering turned into forever and we had no idea how lucky we would become. Noodle loved people and was happy just being close to someone. He was the best shepherd and refused to go to bed until everyone was tucked in. He stood by us through so many laughs and so many tears, always the protector and comforter. Through it all, his big fluffy tail never stopped wagging. From the second he heard the first person stir in the morning to the second he let out his last sigh at night, his tail was wagging. He loved car rides more than anything and if he heard the slightest key jingle he was up and ready at the door with his big puppy dog eyes begging to go on an adventure. He really, really loved sticking his head out the window and since we apparently weren’t rolling it down fast enough, he learned to do it himself. He battled food allergies, a heart murmur, going blind, and cancer and none of it ever slowed him down. He was the eternal optimist and taught us so much about living in the moment and appreciating life. Here’s to you, the most incredible dog we were so lucky to cross paths with. We will love you forever Pup Pup!! 5/17/13 – 5/26/24

Love, Erica

I can't recommend them enough. I had to say goodbye to my 21 year old cat companion. I read the reviews here on Yelp and chose Paws Into Grace and they made an unbearable situation not worse - from the people on the phone to the amazing doctor who came out to the house. She was so understanding and supportive. They were all so helpful, understanding and nice. My girl got to stay at home and say goodbye in the backyard (a hummingbird flew over and it seemed like a good sign too). So glad I didn't have to take her to a cold vet office.

My absolute love Dante had heart failure three months ago. After having him on many medications to help him, his enthusiasm and appetite declined last couple of days. He was in pain and we decided to help him go to heaven rather than torturing him with more medications which would make him even more miserable. I called and spoke to a very kind lady who was patient as I cried through making an appointment. We made an appointment for 1:30pm. Dr. Toni arrived. She was very kind, explained everything to us and gave us the time to be with our boy after the first shot. He wasn't relaxing enough so she gave him a second shot. We stayed with him throughout the entire process and I carried him to her car in the end. It was a very difficult decision but knowing that our boy is not in pain, gives us some peace. We are thankful to Dr. Toni for her kindness and compassion. They will arrange the cremation for us. Since we are in a pandemic, we had our masks on and said goodbye to our boy in our garden.

I wanted to thank you for sending Dr. Brown to euthanize our beloved Myleigh on March 4, 2021. She was compassionate and accommodating, she explained every step of the procedure, and gave us some alone time with Myleigh after she sedated her, but before she attached the IV. We were relieved that we made the decision to let her go to doggy heaven at home. It was a tranquil and serene passing for her, and it very much aids us in the grieving and healing process knowing that she passed away so peacefully. Based on the grace and compassion Dr. Brown demonstrated on one of the most awful days of our lives we would not hesitate to recommend Paws Into Grace for others facing this very painful time.
