Paws In Our Hearts
Paws In Our Hearts is our tribute to the beloved pets who have spent time with the Pets In The City family and who are no longer with us. We celebrate the joy, mischief, and love they brought to our centres and our lives.

Honouring our pets
If you have lost a pet who was part of our PITC family and would like to add their tribute, please contact your local centre. We will guide you through a simple form, including a photo, name and a few words about the pet you loved.
Why memorials matter
Pet loss is real grief. Sharing a tribute can help families and our staff who knew the pet. Every PITC centre keeps a wall of remembered pets, and our online memorial is updated each month.
