Casey

Casey was a rescue dog from Craigslist. His first owners kept him in a 45″ screened enclosure. Young couple, with a new baby, they had no clue.

He learned to run the zipper from the inside with his nose. Opening it enough to get out. Then running around, tearing things up, peeing and pooping everywhere.

We were together for 12 years, he was my constant buddy. Saved my life a few times, and I think I saved his a couple.

At the end he stopped eating, drinking. Shrunk down to about half his weight of a year before. Slept in a padded bed with extra padding mostly all the time.

At the end I did not know what was right. So I went out on a limb and asked Chat GPT. He included Paws of Serenity’s phone number. Next morning we called. Filled out the form, got quote including cremation. A little after 3pm the vet gave him a shot in the butt. He walked around for a couple of minutes. Then laid down and slowly drifted into deeper and deeper sleep. Then doc gave him another 1cc shot into the body. And in 3 minutes he had passed.

Peacefully, quietly, with no fuss or fighting.

We will be calling them again when needed.

The doctor was incredibly nice, professional, friendly, helpful.
I can not give them a glowing enough review.
They are first rate.

So let me leave you with this.

In a years time, what will you remember?

I was scared, overwhelmed, and worried about money when my old dog was nearing the end. More than anything, I didn’t want him to suffer.

In the end, the money didn’t matter—his peace did.

If you’re going through this right now, focus on their comfort. That’s what matters most. You’re not wrong for wanting a peaceful end for them—that’s love.

In a years time you won’t remember the money, or the fear.

You will very likely remember their pain. You will always remember how you chose to deal with it.
