Heaven Pet Urns

This week’s discussion will be about how the shelter works. As mentioned last week LAWS is  independent organization that is dedicated to  aiding all animals and promoting their well being. It is a registered charity that survives solely on private donations because they receive no funding from the government.  

There are three ways an animal arrives at LAWS as a stray, as a give-up-of-ownership (where the owner no longer able to card for them) or through the Animal Cruelty Inspector as a result of OSPCA investigation.

The animals are first logged into the computer, given a number with an informatioin sheet. The animal is also vaccinated, bathed if necessary, clip their nails, clean their ears, treat them for fleas as well as anything that needs to be taken care of including if the animal appears unhealthy taken to the vet for treatment. All this is at the shelters own time and expense. Tragic emergencies are often dealt with here as well on a case per case basis.

Once all this is attended to if necessary depending on the animal’s condition itself then the animal is ready for adoption.  This could take anywhere from few days to a few months before a new home is found.

Next week we will carry on with running of the shelter.

These small wood pet urns in the shape of a heart are the perfect way to memorialize a pet for anyone in the family.  They give you the ability to share the memorial with someone else without depriving yourself.  When a family pet is lost the entirely family can be devastated, and the entire family no doubt would like to participate in the memorial.  These keepsake urns come with a stylish brass plate and the engraving of your choice.

If you’ve ever lost a family pet then you know what I’m talking about.  In this case other people may draw emotional strength or resolve from the keepsake urn since they’ll be an active part of memorializing them.  Take a look and see how you can still share your pet’s love long after they’re gone!

I’d guess that just about anyone who has a pet has some pictures of it.  Whether it’s dogs, cats, hamsters or mountain lions, anyone with a pet generally likes to embellish their cuteness.  That’s why I think this special photo pet urn is a great option for anyone who’s recently lost a pet.  Now you can memorialize your pet with the premium quality urn and honor their memory with a touching photo.

Made of real Red Alder wood, this urn has a smooth finish and provides the perfect background for your favorite picture.  Paw prints and the name and date  are also on the front just below the picture with a place for a sentimental message or epithet.  It’s held together by four solid brass screws and has four felt pads to protect your furniture.  Take a look at this one.  For a memorial pet urn that honors your pet’s memory this one is tough to beat.

I was impressed with the pet grave marker I ordered from your site. This marker looks just like a grave headstone but better quality because it stands up to the weather, resists chipping and fading. They are light enough for me to move around. I liked the stain that was used because it makes everything I wanted to say about my pet stand out.  It was so practical. Thanks for making something affordable and a way of saying something that will last forever.

This is the first charity we will discuss in a series of charities over the next few weeks.

LAWS  stands for The Lanark Animal Welfare Society. LAWS is an independent organization that is dedicated to  aiding all animals and promoting their well being. It is a registered charity that survives solely on private donations because they receive no funding from the government.  Their expenses are met from private donations from its members, supporters, adoption fees and fundraising activities as garage sales, raffles craft sales etc.

They deal with lost, abused, or abandoned animals which are cared for until thier rightful owners can be found or until they can be odopted into a new home. Thier mission is to promote the welfare of all animals, provide shelter, care, prevent cruelty and suffering for all animals in need. LAWS are affiliated with Ontario S.P.C.A. which conducts cruelty investigations.

This is how the shelter works. The animals arrive at LAWS in three ways: as a stray mostly  through the  local animal control officer, as a give-up-of ownership from a family or owner who cannot keep thier pet or no longer able or willing to care or look after them. The third way pets end up at the shelter is through the Animal Cruelty Inspector as a result of OSPCA investigation.

The law requires all stray animals to be held 72 hours to give them and thier owners a chance to be reunited. Once the animal arrives at the shelter they are scanned for  a microchip, photographed, entered into the computer, fed and cared for.  The next few days the animal is observed for illness, personality, signs of aggressiveness and in general evaluated.          

Next week the care of the animals at the shelter will be discussed.

I was very hurt when my dog passed away and I had to move to another area with my line of work. It was like losing my best friend and I didn’t want to leave him behind when I moved to another part of the country. My chances of ever getting back would be one in a thousand. That was when I made the decision of buying cremation keepsake jewelry and a pet urn. This way it didn’t matter where I moved I could take my dog with me. I chose the Titanium Bracelet because it was durable, tough to stand up to my line of work in construction. This way I could keep part of my dog with me all the time. The pet urn , the Hammered Dog House, was brass with a velvet box for protection.It was different from any I ever looked at. I really shopped around but I kept coming back to your site. I loved the style, quality and finish. I know I made the right decision.

We all loved the different finishes that were available in the Marble Pet Urns. It was nice to know that there were two sizes to choose from and no two were alike. This way we knew we were getting something like our pet-there will never be another one like him either. The choices of different pet urns in wood, brass, glass and photo helped the kids and myself find something that we were happy to have as a final place for our family pet. The kids felt more involved with the situation and made them feel better about losing their pet. We all finally settled on the black grain marble pet urn. The family felt it represented our pet’s colouring and personality. He will always be part of our family where-ever we go.

There are several charities we will discuss in the next few weeks which you could give donations to in honour of your pet. Not only would you be helping these charities that aid animals in need but you would also keep your pet’ s memory and name alive for you and your pet. 

 Most of these charities no longer receive government funding, relying entirley on donations of money, food and supplies from companies and the general public itself. This alone is a reason to give to keep these beneficial charities going to help many animals who have no home but  also for those people who have no choice but to give up thier loved pets because of circumstances beyond their control. These pet owners will at least know their pet they couldn’t keep is well looked after until these charities can find another loving family for them.

Charities that will work for the good of your pet and help with pet loss at the same time for you. 

This is a really neat idea for those who want to memorialize their pets in a meaningful and lasting way.  Anyone who’s lost a pet knows that the grief and seperation and can be somewhat overwhelming.  With these unique pet urn pendants, however, a person can keep their loving pets with them at all times, knowing that their strength and calm is an arm’s reach away.

At less than forty dollars this is a remarkable bargain.  A steal, really, when you come to think about it.  I would expect to pay far more for this very same product anywhere else, especially at my local pet superstore.  You guys definitely make it easier to save money and love our pets.

I was really surprised to see the great price you’re offering on the Moonlit Memorial Pet Urn.  It looks like it’s selling for less than half price right now which is really amazing considering the quality.  For a handcrafted glass urn of this quality I would expect to pay hundreds, but you guys are selling it for less than $150!

I’ve gotten a new pet and have since become a part of the pet bereavement support community.  With the number of people who bitterly mourn the loss of their pets it should come as no surprise that a product like this one can be as popular as it is.  There are several people out there looking for unique and tasteful ways to memorialize their pets and your site is a God-sent!
