My family has been rescuing senior dogs for years. It's a blessing to love on pups in their final years. However 12 years ago my son fell in love with some Miniature Pinscher puppies. We weren't familiar with the breed so we talked to the breeder and did some research. We decided to buy a red male pup. It was the first little dog we ever owned. His name was Baxter. He became attached to me very quickly. Fast forward 10 years. Baxter became diabetic and blind. For 2 years he and I spent a lot of time together at the vet and administering shots. Baxter was the love of my life (after my husband and boys). I knew his time was coming to an end. Sure enough Thanksgiving weekend the time came. My normal vet was closed. They referred us to this office. I called ahead of time to let them know what was happening and to see if we could bring him in. They lady on the phone was so kind. We legit in the car and drove there. My husband went in first to let them know we were there. He came back out and got me and they took us straight to a room. It was a large room with a couch and recliner. A woman came in and walked us through the process of what would happen. First a vet tech came to take Bax to be assessed by the vet. They brought him back to me and said that the vet agreed that it was time (my paraphrase). They then took Bax to have his arm prepped for an IV. They brought him back to me again. Each step of the way they told me to take my time. I didn't want him to suffer anymore so the Vet came in and administered the two injections. Baxter crossed over Rainbow Bridge, taking a part of my heart with him. I handed Bav to the Vet. They told us again to take our time. When we were ready we exited out of a side door. It was so nice not to have to walk back through the waiting room to leave.
Having to put an animal down is so hard, but I could not have asked for a better experience than we received at this facility. They were so kind, caring, and compassionate. I can never thank them enough. These 5 stars don't even begin to cover it.
