How pets help heal

The loss of a loved one is difficult for anyone, but the loss of an unborn child can be unbearable. We recently helped a woman who had lost her unborn child. She was having a difficult time with the loss and her doctor recommended she get a pet. She was interested in a very energetic dog we had for adoption. She was interested in this pet, since she had a similar breed when she was a child. After some discussion, we agreed the dog may be too much for her at this time and recommended adopting a cat instead. After looking at the kitties available for adoption, she found one that really grabbed her heart. Her face light up and for that moment, the pain was gone. We will continue to follow her progress and hope the kitty can help heal the pain.
