How to Deal With the Loss of a Pet
The relationships we build with our pets are some of the deepest connections we have in our lives. That’s why the loss of a pet
May 6, 2021
It’s said that grief is simply love with no place to go, but what if you could harness your love to create an unstoppable wave of food and care for homeless animals across the planet. The Pet Memorial is a living memorial that allows you to honor your departed pets with purpose. It’s a gift that can’t be wrapped and will never grow dusty on a shelf. We like to believe it’s bright enough to be seen from the heavens.
All over the world, people are adding their pets to The Pet Memorial and helping animals internationally in the most amazing ways.
Each day, we help volunteers provide meals to animals who have no families to care for them.
All year long, we provide food, utilities, firewood, straw bedding, fencing and repairs to many shelters and sanctuaries.
We help in the rescue of dogs living at some of the most notorious pounds on earth.
Spay/neuter and emergency veterinary care for sick and injured animals are important aspects of our animal welfare mission.
You’ll also be helping keep wildlife safe in their natural habitats and sponsoring wildife orphanages and rehabiliation centers.
Because much of our work takes place in poorer countries, we are often the only lifeline for animals in need.
The Pet Memorial is a project of the Harmony Fund international animal rescue charity celebrating 13 years of compassion and care.
All over the world, the Harmony Fund is throwing a lifeline to underdog animal rescue squads.
Harmony Fund has given more than $4 million in aid to help to provide food, sheltering, vet care, protection-from-cruelty for homeless and abused animals across the planet.
The Pet Memorial allows your departed pets to continue to shine their light in this world by giving food, shelter and comfort to homeless animals internationally.

There is nothing on this earth that can replace your pet. But we can keep the love you shared alive and do incredibly good work that is a powerful tribute to their spirit.
We created The Pet Memorial to give you a way to join forces with your pet once again, this time in a very special mission that will help thousands of less fortunate animals each month.
Tinker (Australia)
“We got our beautiful girl Tinker 11 years ago from the pound. It was her third time in the pound and she was looking at Death Row the next day if we had not adopted her. I knew I had to bring her home and it has literally been the best decision I made in my whole life.”
– Tillie Anne
Ginger (USA)
“Ginger loved to go everywhere with us. We took her on vacations and she was always right in the middle of the action. Ginger was a foodie – she loved to eat. The beach was her favorite place – she loved to swim and chase the seagulls. I will love her forever.”
– Cynthia Mastandrea
Samson (Ireland)
“Dear Samson – our first son – it was with the heaviest of hearts we said goodbye to you today and let you cross the rainbow bridge. Although you were eight years old on the outside you always remained a puppy on the inside.”
– Aoife Muldowney
Norman (USA)
“I had never cared for a bunny when I adopted Norman, but he was a great teacher. It’s not so much about learning the physical care, but about really listening to what an animal is trying to tell you. He loved to play in the grass, snuggle and eat slices of banana. My darling boy.”
-Laura Simpson
Yuki (USA)
“Yuki worked in the Canine Assistance Therapy (CAT) Training Program with wounded warriors and participated in regular visits to Warrior Transition Centers, Veteran’s organizations, retirement communities, children’s homes, and military hospitals.”

Princess (Albania)
“We made it through almost 9 years together and traveled the world. My little girl’s ashes continued with me on my journey abroad until my return to Albania where I am now active in helping street dogs, stray dogs and abandoned dogs.”

Cyote (United Kingdom)
“He sang the 2 hour journey home and never stopped singing for the almost 12 years he was with us. He was the most beautiful, funny, cheeky, loving soul ever.”
