Pet Loss Support Group - 3rd Saturday of Every Month
Location: Westhampton
Time: 10:00am - 11:00am
3rd Saturday of Every Month (beginning May 2008)
At Bideawee, we believe that our four-legged companions are important parts of the family. Saying goodbye to our loving animal companions can be a tough and very emotional journey. Bideawee wants you to know that you are not alone. Since there are many people experiencing the same loss Bideawee is now providing a support system to deal with your loss.
The Saturday morning support group is facilitated by one of Bideawee's qualified volunteers who specialize in animal bereavement, social worker Joyce Sabella, MSW.
