Lasting Paws Pet memorial services is a great place to take your passing pets to, they are very friendly, kind and they did all my 6 pets. I love their services.
Very professional, caring, supportive, Kim made sure my pet was well taken care of and was there for what ever I needed. Just an amazing experience in such a hard time.
I've been taking care of feral cats for decades. My herd is now all fixed, and aging. Kim has been oustanding over the past few years as some of my beloved cats have died. Kim's professionalism is matched by her caring heart. Lasting Paws could have no finer representative. Bob Laughlin is my pen name; my real name is Patrick McCabe.
