Our beloved Finnegan passed away on Thursday February 20, 2020 surrounded by his loved ones after a brief battle with cancer. He was 10 years old.
Finnegan was one of 10 puppies. His aunt had also had a litter of 9 puppies at the same time! Our first time meeting Finnegan, there were 19 puppies running around!
Finnegan was born on a farm in a small town of Dublin, Ontario, just past Stratford.
We chose Finnegan because he was one of the calmest and laid back of all the puppies. This was his temperament for his entire life.
Finnegan was our first (fur) baby before having our children.
He was a kind and gentle soul. He was such a good dog with his human brother (Lucas) and human sister (Sadie).
You would never have guess that he was 10 because he acted like a puppy! Always wanting to run and play with anyone willing.
Finnegan will be greatly cherished and his time spent with us will never be forgotten. We will miss him dearly.
He took a piece of our heart with him when he left.

Love
Morgan, Jason, Lucas and Sadie Bissell

April 5th we said goodbye to our best fur friend. She was a big part of our family. Even though we owned her, she was often referred to as "everybody's dog". She loved all people and all people loved her. She had a great life and because of her, so did we.

Thank you for the care you provided to Abby. Your care and compassion for our fur friends is evident and will never be forgotten.

Natalie Trimble and Family

Ruby Beaulieu passed away peacefully at Southside Animal Clinic on Saturday, April 18, 2020 from diabetic complications. She will be missed by her human papa (Real) and human Mama (Donna) plus the rest of the family, including her fur cousins Sabby and Lily.
Ruby lived a comfortable, loved and mostly spoiled 1 years. She loved her brushings and her toys. She showed nothing less than true companionship to her beloved Papa, she was royalty and will never be forgotten. May you forever Rest In Peace knowing you gave your all land stayed strong until the end.
The family gratefully thanks Dr. Natalie Jones and the Team at Southside Animal Clinic. Your professionalism, kindness and compassion during this difficult time is appreciated more than words could truly express.

This is my beautiful, photogenic companion of 13 years, Lola, who died last week. She was very affectionate and allowed anyone to pet here. She was also annoying with her habit of scratching the tv or knocking stuff of tables, dressers, etc to get your attention. She used to snuggle on my chest and shoulder and lick my hair, face and nose. I will miss her smile.

This is Teyha She will be very much missed. Best friend ever.

How lucky we were to have you as part of our family for 12 of your 15 years. Sometimes you would escape from the back yard - just so you could meet your girl when she came home from school. We miss the happy thump of your tail every time we walk in the door and the way you would tilt your head when we spoke to you. RIP beautiful girl; we will love you forever.

We adopted Charlie from The London Animal Care Center in January 2013. He was a loveable, playful dog and immediately became a member of our family. Charlie loved playing in the lake, chasing after balls, making snow angels, cuddling with anyone who was willing and talking for his Timbits. We wish to thank the veterinarians (especially Dr. Kennedy) and all the staff for the great care you had for Charlie. He will be greatly missed. Thank you. The Sutherland family.

Zadaneya, on June 15, 2020 in her seventh year passed peacefully outside with the sun shining and surrounded by family after battling osteosarcoma.
Zadaneya was the sweetest, loving girl who loved to run, roll in the grass and bask in the sun on warm days. She will forever be in our hearts.
We will see you again someday at the rainbow bridge.

My girl Daisy,
I rescued her about 4 years ago, she was the sassiest girl who was obsessed with her tennis balls, blanket and loved her wagon rides. She is missed by her mom and fur brother Thunder. Thank you, Southside Animal Clinic, for taking care of my girl.

It is not surprising that Madge would leave this world for having a heart that was too big.
She only ever really wanted love. Her favourite spot was right next to you and she did her best to imitate our kissing noises. She'd wake us up in the morning with 'neck hugs' and she loved being in our arms. Her favourite pastime was to sit on the passenger's lap in the car with her head out the window. She enjoyed camping and loved unwrapping gifts at Christmas.
She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 6th, 2020 to meet Victor, Mocha and Daisy on the other side. We will always love you, our baby girl, our sweet pea - our Madge.
Forever in Our Hearts,
Daddy Beau and Daddy Steve

Malone is a Corgi x Jack Russell Terrier. She was 14 yrs old and a very busy girl. As a member of Middlesex Agility Club she enjoyed running agility courses both for fun and in trials. She earned her Agility Dog of Canada title and made many friends both human and canine. She had the opportunity of making friends with only 1 skunk in her lifetime. She enjoyed living with her 2 housemates, McGuire, a Cardigan Corgi, and Braedie, a Pembroke Corgi. I'm sure she has reunited with McGuire over the Rainbow Bridge. She will forever be in my heart. Missing her.

Our beautiful Maggie, Mimi, Leela, Limpy Lou, Migs and many other nicknames. We were blessed with her for 11 yrs and she was our first dog. She was extremely loyal, friendly, playful, funny, sweet, and she was so loved and adored by her humans and her furry family Jimmy, Harvey Peanut Cousin Bix and Uncle Oliver.She was one of a kind and will be missed forever

Kitty came into our lives unexpectedly in 2012 at approximately 2 years old. We were mourning the loss of another cat, when a friend messaged urgently about a rescue kitty who was found with her kittens under a shed. The babies were adopted, but no one wanted to adopt an adult black cat, and she would be released back onto the streets with slim chances of survival. She stole our hearts right away and thrived in our household. She was a sweet and loving companion, affectionate and mild mannered and will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting her. Julian's "second favourite cat", since his favourite died 3 years ago and the other one hides from him".

Thank you to Southside Animal Clinic, and especially Dr. Lucas for taking care of our sweet girl from the time she was 8 weeks old, to her passing at 13 years old.

Stella passed away on Sunday, September 20, 2020 at about 10:00am while we were away on vacation. Stella was only 2 1/2 years old. She was playful, gentle and the sweetest pup you ever met. Stella brought such joy into our lives and will be forever missed. She loved to be loved and she loved to love.

Thank you,
Brad & Renee

Stewart adopted us at the Humane Society London & Middlesex in 2014 and enriched our lives beyond measure before he departed on September 24, 2020. We miss him looking after us whether in his chair, around his backyard, in the car and, most of all, on our walks where he chose the direction every day.

Kyle and his brother joined us 7 years ago. Since that day, he was a loving brother, ultimate food bowl master, super snuggler, daily olympic hall walker, furniture scaler, lover and "Mr. Personality". When Southside assisted us in gently saying goodbye to our sweet boy, a huge hole was left in our lives and the life of his brother Johnny. We love you Kyle. Walk pain free now and bask in the sunshine. Until we meet again ...

In Memory of Ginger Goulden
October 17/20 we lost our beautiful brown nosed girl Ginger. She brought laughter, joy and sunshine into our lives for 14 ½ years. She was the princess and knew how to charm everyone she met with her many kisses. Her sweet memories will stay in our hearts forever, she will be sadly missed by her family.
She made her presence known when we brought her into Southside, barking orders at the staff as she pranced around waiting for her appointments. Thank you to Dr. Shaneen and Dr. Karen and staff for all the years of excellent care you provided her.
Bruce and Doris and Buddy Goulden

Our sweet little girl Daisy left this world cradled in our arms on November 9th, 2020. We thought we were rescuing her from a puppy mill back in 2007 but in truth she rescued us. If only people could show the love and loyalty she had the world would be a better place. She is welcomed into heaven by her big brother Buddy who left us 6 years ago. We will forever miss you Daisy....Mom, Dad and Becca.

With heavy hearts, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Crash on November 3, 2020. Crash came to us as a rescue who had already been named. They told us he had two speeds: full speed and Crash. He was a character who brought us so much joy. We loved him dearly. He is survived by his sweet sister Mimi and special friend Scooby. He was pre-deceased by his other furry friends, Daisy and Boomer. Thank you Crash for making our home a happier place. We miss you Crash Boy and will love you forever.
A special thank you to everyone at Southside Animal Clinic for all you do, and the compassion with which you do it.
The McLaughlin Family

On Wednesday October 28th in his 14th year, Milo passed away peacefully surrounded by his human parents at Southside Animal Clinic.
Milo's heart was bigger than his little body and brought happiness and smiles to all he came in contact with. His youthfulness never went away even in his later years.
Milo loved to snuggle whether it was by your side, between your legs or in your lap he always found a comfortable spot... for both of us and boy could he snore! Belly rubs, walks and getting treats were some of his other favourite things.
Holding him and saying goodbye was the hardest things we've ever had to do. Although we miss him dearly, we know he is no longer suffering and can finally rest.
Miss you "Little Guy"

Our hearts broke when our Rocco left us.
He was a pure-bred brindle boxer and a gentle giant. He battled spinal meningitis from the time he was 6 months old, relapsing 3 times, but was a fighter to live to be 12!
He loved Portuguese food, hogging the couch, laying on your lap and never showed a cold shoulder to anyone, not even strangers. He was our fur baby and we loved him so much, there is an emptiness at home without him.

Thank you to all of you at Southside for everything you did for our big boy! He loved having visits with you guys!

Have fun in doggie heaven BooBoos with your uncle Toby and cousins Koko and Rocky! Make sure to grab a snack from Vavo!

We will love you and miss you forever!

In our hearts always,
Daddy Bobby, Mommy Michelle, Sister Myla and Brother Quentin xoxo

It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved, Monte. Monte was with us since 2007 as a puppy. He was a wonderful addition to our family and he brought so much joy and happiness to us. We will miss him so much but know that he is no longer suffering and is a better place. We thank the staff at Southside Animal Clinic for their care and concern. The staff made this difficult experience so much better for us. Monte, you will be missed. You will be forever loved and never forgotten. Jill & Gary

On Friday, November 13th, we had to say goodbye to our sweet girl Molly.

Molly was an overweight, geriatric calico who chose us at the SPCA in Truro, NS, in February 2019. Molly was the first of our four kitties and kept everyone in line. The matriarch of the family, she was the first to the food bowl, first to bed and made sure all the other kitties were well groomed. Molly would never turn down a belly rub or a taste of any food that was on the go. Her constant presence next to us on the couch and her nose kisses will forever be missed. There will never be another kitty like Molls. So much love - Andy, Adrienne, Grizzy, Stevie and Rudy.

You came into our lives in 2012, after many happy years with Elmire. Who knew that we would get another 8 years with you. We grew to know and love your character. You will forever be my shoulder girl, each night you curled up in my arms. My sweet Dot!

My sweet Callie has been laid to rest. She was the best rescue pup you could ask for. Life is definitely not the same without you Pup. I miss you with my entire being. Love mom

Zeus was a very good boy, a great dog. Forever will be loved and missed.

Kevi was part of our family for over 17 years. She was born on Mother's Day 2003.
My husband wanted to name the anticipated kitten Kevin [an inside joke] but being a girl cat, Kevin became Kevi.
She wasn't a particularly large cat but she had a big personality and presence. We jokingly called her a diva or a princess. She never hesitated to demand what she wanted, very loudly!
Kevi was my shadow...where I went she followed. She kept the rhythm of our day - she got us up at the same time each morning, let us know when it was mealtime and would head to the bedroom each night to indicate it was time for lights out. She had a favourite chair and was relentless at trying to get someone who had the nerve to sit in it to move.
She will always be missed
Colleen

We found Gary as a 3 week old kitten in Grand Bend that was abandoned by his mother and took him in. At the time (Canada Day long weekend 2011 I believe), your clinic was being moved from the Commissioners & Deveron to it's temporary location at Southdale and Adelaide, while the new clinic was being built. Although the clinic was closed for the move, Dr. Lucas still answered my frantic knocks at the door and kindly provided instructions, food and care in order to ensure Gary's survival. Dr. Kennedy then took over his primary care and provided 10 years of amazing care and compassion to Gary, although he was a bit of a jerk - we believe it was because he missed that vital kitten stage with his siblings and mother, but we loved him anyway. Gary, we will miss your purrs, and even your bitey nature. Yes Gary was named after the snail in SpongeBob.

BOSWORTH

You're a very good boy, and our best friend.
You made us smile and laugh everyday.
You made us feel unconditionally loved.
We don't know what we'll do without you around everyday.
We already miss you more then we can say.
You were so strong not letting on you were sick.
We love you Boz, and will think of you everyday.

Gord, Patty, Brian, Tyler & Odin Stevens

I rescued my beautiful Oreo & another cat Domino from the London Animal Care Centre about 10ish years ago. I chose these two because they were in kennels right beside each other & the lady I was dealing with that day said that when she let these two out in the mornings that they use to tumble down the hall wrestling like a couple of Oreo's...hence her name. She was a great cat who used to greet me at the door everyday when I came home from work, she would beg me for treats before I left & she was a great cuddler at night. She had this cute thing she use to do where she would pick a piece of a blanket or your sweater & take it in her mouth while she kneaded the spot she was about to curl up in. She was truly amazing & will be missed not only by me but the other 5 animals she is leaving behind. We miss you already.

Our Faithful Companion for 16 Years
Nixie was and is part of us . Her Memory will never fade. Resilient, Loving and gave more than she took. Long walks on the trail and beside the river a facial expression denoting unrelinquished Love.
Sorely missed, never Forgotten. A true and loving companion that could run like the Wind.

Linda & John Wallace
& NIXIE

Bear, He honestly was a beautiful boy
May 6, 2011 – March 12, 2021
Bear loved his favorite human house mate Christopher, and showed it with his obsessive crying and endless kisses when he saw him. It was so heartwarming to see and watch them together.
Bear loved to tease you when he wanted to play fetch.
I’ll get the ball – now you catch me, his favorite game to play.
Bear was such a gentle, playful soul. You played till the very end.
You were a childhood dream come true for me, the joy of my life. You were my favorite boy and yes I think my other kids knew they commented all the time about it. Your paw will always have an imprint on my heart.
Run free my boy, Elmo (cat) is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge
Deborah, Kayla, Christopher, Bella and Chance (cat)

We had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy, Hank. He was a good boy, the best boy, a perfect boy. Hank loved and was loved by so many. He would do the husky talk, we loved his voice. He had a special howl for the people he loved the most, like his grandma. Hank had the greatest love for children, he loved them all. On Halloween, we dressed him as a lion and he waited at the door for the kids to come.
We all could learn from Hank. He lived his life to the fullest, and he loved with all his heart and what a big heart he had, such a cuddle bug.
Hank was a tough guy, he had health issues, but he kept on trucking, even adapting to using a wheel chair. He was so happy with his chair, he played and ran again!
He is deeply missed by his little sister, Arya, the wonder hound, his grandma, Abby, and especially his momma Candace who loved him so very much.
Our hearts are broken but we are so grateful to have been blessed by our wonderful boy. Hank, hoping he is running free and I know we will see our angel again

There is something missing in my heart,
I feel it day and night,
I know it will take time and strength,
Before things feel right.

I know your gone, I am lost,
We all know in everyone's house you were the boss,
RIP Muffin I know you're at rest,
Give Gene a kiss for me, you are the best.
Take care of each other till we all meet again.

I will miss you every day we are apart.

Your Loving family ❤️❤️❤️

Thank You to the Southside Animal Clinic staff for giving me
16 plus wonderful years with my beautiful girl.

March 20th, 21 (spring equinox) we had to say goodbye to our beloved Sabrey. He loved people and was able to enjoy his last day with us outside enjoying the sunshine playfully, greeting several friends that came to visit along the pathway. Words cannot express the emptiness we feel. RIP our beautiful, handsome man. We will love you forever.

Beloved family dog and 14 year "best friend" to Phil, Winston will be dearly missed by his family and anyone who had the luck to make his acquaintance. Full of energy through his life, 14 years slowed down his speed but not his love. You will be missed buddy!

On March 9 we said goodbye to our Dear Jade.
Your love, energy and beautiful spirit brought joy to everyone who had the blessing to meet you. Your bark may have been intimidating but were a bundle of pure love and snuggles. Your last year living blind never slowed you down chasing your kitten sister Lily or going for daily walks.
You are cherished and missed daily, a piece of our hearts went with you when we said goodbye.
Enjoy seeing all the beauty in heaven.
Tareq & Katrina.

I miss you so much buddy, you had more of an impact on me then you will ever know. My best friend and loyal companion until the end. I hope you're running over that rainbow bridge and eating as much steak as you want. The entire family mourns you even 8 months since you passed. Never can replace you buddy, and I'm happy you passed at home with dignity with your mom and dad by your side. I promise we tried everything we could do for you, Unfortunately cancer had other plans. Until we meet again my Ernie bud, I hope you watch over and protect us.

Lucy ❤
Such a smart sweet beautiful girl. She loved the outdoors , playing ball, smelling flowers in the gardens, camping adventures and going for long walks but she also loved to snuggle. Saying goodbye was heart breaking and we miss you dearly. We have so many great memories to cherish and keep you in our hearts forever. ❤🐾
Special thank you to the entire Southside Animal Clinic team for compassionate, loving care and for being such an amazing part of Lucy's journey for over 15 years!
Forever grateful
Dale & Sharon and family ❤

Ally was a hurricane Ike rescue. She was found in a flooded ally so the rescue group named her Ally. Ally needed a home when her first owner passed away. Ally lived out her senior years with us. Ally loved birds, car rides and walks. She was a gentle soul and always happy. She was a very loved member of our family and is very much missed.

Originally a stray, Porkins came into our lives in 2014. We named him Porkins for his stocky build, but after settling into our home, he perked up and affectionately became "Perkins." All who met him loved him for his easy-going and affectionate nature. He had an avid determination for sampling our food and would strike our plates with unexpected speed and precision. He loved lounging in the sun, munching on grass, kneading blankets, cuddling, and grooming his Dad's hair. We will miss him always.

In loving memory of our boy, Zeus. He was such a loveable guy and we miss him so much!!

Wanted to take a moment and pay tribute to Dexter. The most snuggly, purry, meowy, and persistent cat you’ve ever met.
He was a faithful and loving friend, and he is incredibly missed by all of us, including his dog Oscar. We still look for him to come running down the stairs or around the corner.
Thank you to all who had a hand in helping him through, and a special thank you to Karen who took us on without question and provided incredible support, and to Emma who waited so very patiently with us in Dexter’s final moments and made sure he was comfortable.

He is sorely missed.

Kelly

Gone But Not Forgotten
Came into our lives Feb 13, 2014 and left us again way to soon on May 20, 2021.
She lives on in our hearts, and her presence will forever be felt in the backyard she loved so much.

Frankie was a rescue from The London Humane Society. He wasn't just a dog, he was our innocent little boy, who we saw blossom, into a young man. We treated him equal as to a human and he reacted, as such. If you called him a dog, he would huff, and then continue to ignore you. He loved everybody, and our daily walks, reflected that. He would say hi to everybody, and make sure that everybody he encountered, petted him and acknowledged him. Special thanks to DR. JEFF GRAMS, and the entire veterinarian staff, who provided their full attention, and care, in Frank's time of need. Predeceased, by his papa, Chuck. Leaving behind his other dad Daryl. Frankie, you will always be loved, missed, and remembered, by all, who met you.
R.I.P., My Little Prince
Heaven received another angel, back into its flock.

We were so sad to have to let you go Simon. You were our first baby boy and we loved you so much.
Your fur brother Luke misses you so much.
It was one of the hardest days of our lives having to say goodbye to you.
We will cherish all the wonderful memories we shared together for over 17 years.
Thanks to everyone at Southside Animal Clinic for caring for Simon since we moved to Summerside.
Forever in our hearts,
Daddy Rod, Daddy Harry and Brother Luke xoxoxo

I still remember the day I adopted Spencer from animal control here in London. He was so enthusiastic to be chosen out of the 100's of cats they had. I was so happy to have him in my life as I was single and living alone. He soon became my best friend. A year later came his brother Toulouse who he hated at first but they soon became thick as thieves. He now had himself a sidekick. Which he loved, they snuggled and played and loved each other. Many years later came their little brother Gidget. He kept my old boy on his toes. Kept him going and brought him so much joy. Spencer was the best pet I've ever owned. Loyal to his owner and loyal to his brothers. He gave me so much love in his 15 yrs, and I am all the better for it. I honestly can say he saved me, he made me a better person. But he suddenly became so ill and had to cross that rainbow bridge. I miss Everything about him. His sweet face, his amazing purr, his soft snuggles, and his pure patience. He was so chill, and so relaxed and just the best anyone could ask for. I will never stop missing you buddy. You will always have a space in my heart. I Love you, till we meet again. Momma loves you Big Man ❤

Sadly on June 17th, 2021 we said our last good byes to our wonderful companion Dude and released him of his pain and suffering!
He filled our hearts with love and joy for the last 10 years along with his natural brother Patches whom we had to say good bye to back a few years ago, they were inseparable. Dude was lost without him but now they are together once again!
We miss both of our boys and loved them dearly!

Love Linda & Paul Gibbon

We had Nugget since he was 8 weeks old. He immediately captured our hearts when he came running to us from the litter of six. The first night he made his way to the top of our pillows and slept in between us every since for 15 and 1/2 years.

Thank you for your compassion. Losing a pet is just so hard.

We miss him very much

Lucky was our first puppy. He was eight and a half years old. Lucky was full of love and always cried like a baby when we came home. It did not matter if we were gone for an hour or five minutes he would always be so happy we were back. He had a very unique and strong personality. He was a slick boy. He always used to steal things in hopes that we would give him a treat to get the item back. He always wanted to be near his family and did not even want to stay in the backyard without us for longer than five minutes. He was a very good boy and was never sick. He always had the same excitement when we would take him out every day. He loved it even more to go to the dog park and go on car rides. He was a very big boy, but he still had the mind of a puppy. He will always be missed and loved forever. Lucky left us with lots of wonderful and joyful memories. Rest in peace in doggie heaven, big boy.

Marinescu Family

On Monday, July 5, 2021, Kota left peacefully in my arms with the caring assistance of Dr. Kennedy, and I can't thank you enough for your compassion through this journey. She was my goofy and loving friend for 9 of her 14 years. I miss her every day...she was the best of friends.
Betty

Bella was born 24 July 2009 and passed on 19 May 2021 (2009 - 2021). I rescued Bella in April 2010 along with her companion on Super Adoption Day from the Animal Outreach shelter.
Bella was a very shy but playful cat, loved chasing the red laser dot on the floor. She was very talented and easy to train, loved climbing ladders and playing with her little colourful balls - Still haven't found them all. I miss her sleeping with me at nighttime as she was my personal heater. She is survived by her sister Meeka and brother Haus. RIP my lovely girl, you are missed every day!
Sass

Missed by Lorna, Kaylin and Ryan

My Beautiful Angel POCO has Ascended to the Heavens to-day.
She was always the Sunshine of my life and blessed all who knew this precious soul with her Loving and Happy disposition.
Poco thank-you for being in our lives.
You shall be sadly missed here on earth....
And now you shall lovingly touch all in the heavens.
Love you always. Mom. xox

Thank-you Dr Shaneen Kennedy & Dr Karen Lucas for your professional, understanding and loving care of Poco during her peaceful passing.
Sincerely,
Dr Linda Douglas.

We miss you so much Luke, our hearts are broken. You are at peace now and with your big brother Simon. We will cherish all the wonderful memories we had with you for over 15 years. Thanks to everyone at Southside Animal Clinic for caring for Luke since we moved to Summerside. Forever in our hearts, Daddy Rod and Daddy Harry xoxo

Sometimes called George, mostly called Biggee Fluffee. He loved to sing with his mum while she did dishes. Mornings will never be the same again without your characteristic meow. Missed by two brothers- Bootsie and Bobby- and his parents, Adam and Erika. We love you, Biggee. We'll miss you. Forever.

Holly was our earth angel who gave us a lifetime of happiness in such a short time.
We will miss her goofy smile, signature antenna ears, wiggly-waggly tail, and her unapologetic joy of living. She was the biggest snuggle bug we've ever met, and the best companion anyone could ask for. Thank you for everything, sweetness. We love you, always.

Cooper was everyone's sweetheart. He would immediately grab everyone's attention when he entered the room. We miss you and we love you, Cooper.

We said goodbye to CJ September 17, at the age of 18. She had a great life and brought lots of joy and laughs to our family. Thanks to the team at SSAC.

Izzy became a member of our family 19 years ago. She was a constant companion. She loved curling up by the fireplace and treats. Izzy loved taking naps on her favourite chair. Izzy also enjoyed playing cards during family game nights and would lay on top of cards and get very frisky. She is deeply missed and our household isn't the same without her. She was the best girl a family could ask for.

This is Sadie Williams. She joined our family of 2 in 2005 when my husband travelled away for work, and she was a great companion for me during those times. She then welcomed our two daughters to part of "her" family.

She loved to bury her kibbles around the house using her face, she huffed at us when she wanted our attention and would often try to trick us by letting us know she wanted outside, but then once we got up, she was only looking for a treat.

Sadie would love to run around the rooms at a super-fast pace, often times if she would go upstairs, you could hear the pitter patter of her feet across the floor while she zoomed up and down the hallways in excitement.

Sadie lived to a ripe age of 16 ½ and she gave us so much love and affection that is irreplaceable and we are happy to have had the privilege of her being part of our family for so many wonderful years.

Words cannot express how much of an impact she made for me, and my family and she will be missed, but her fun memories will last forever.

We spent 11 years together. We were proud to be your owner/butler.
We found each other in the summer of 2010 and lives together in cities across Korea to Canada.
You meant so much to us, our best friend and our son. We will never forget you, we love you so much. We will meet you at the Rainbow bridge.

Caesar was the first dog owned by our family. He brought us and everyone he met a lot of love and laughs. It was never a dull moment with him around. He had this amazing ability to comfort you when you were feeling down. He will be deeply missed and we will forever mourn the loss of our beloved Caesar. However, we are happy that he is no longer in pain. Thank you Caesar for coming into our lives and for blessing us and gracing us with your presence. Thank you for your loving and warm company and for all your hugs and kisses. I hope your beautiful and gentle soul finds peace and happiness. Love you always.

Mitzi was such a loving and devoted pet to me. She followed me everywhere I went and would wait for me everyday when I came home after I had left the house. She looked forward to our evenings of sitting in the chair next to me relaxing. When she saw me getting ready for bed she would always run to the bedroom because she knew she was going to bed too. In the mornings she would wait for me to do my routine and be waiting at the foot of the bed for me to pick her up. She was a source of great companionship for me and I will miss her terribly. Run free Mitzi. Mommy loves you.

Our boy Cosmo went over the rainbow October 25th. He loved his walks with all his dog and human friends. He was the grandpa of the Ingersoll dog park and will be greatly missed by everyone there. He loved car rides and visiting the cottage. Cosmo loved to raise money for the Thames Valley Education Foundation and will be missed at the run for the fund events. We miss our good boy, Rest In Peace handsome.

Hankers was truly one of a kind. He could make you laugh just by watching him and had the best cuddles. He was such a big part of our family and we will always hold a special place in our hearts for him. Love and miss you, Hank.

This is Charlie.
The most loving, happy and my Baby. He was diagnosed with cancer and we decided to let him live what time he had left in peace...and when he showed any hurtful changes...we would let him go. That happened far too soon...but we promised him that we would never let him suffer. And as he took his last breathes.. We told him how much we'd miss him and that we kept our promise. I cry daily missing my "Boo ". Thank you SSAC for making the experience so tranquil and peaceful. We appreciate your care for Charlie over the years. We LOVE and MISS you buddy. I know you are at peace and one day we will too.

Willow was a crazy, funny and loveable dog. She loved going to the farm and running around looking for who knows what. She will be missed by her friend and playmate Wrangler. She was a cuddle bunny and thought she was a lap dog at times. She always let me know when the mailman was coming and my kids after they left home and would come to visit.
We had 10 great years and she will be greatly missed. Thank you to your staff for their care and understanding.
Sue and Rob

Rocky Reis on October 29, 2021 at 10:10 AM unfortunately passed away in her 19th year.
Rocky was a beautiful, soft, cuddly, feisty fur ball, that loved to sleep the day away. She loved to eat and loved her treats. She lived a long and good life full of love, cookies, chunks and cuddles.
She will be forever sadly missed by her cat brother Buddy the Liger, human grandmother and human mommy and daddy.
We love and miss you Rocky/shedeka!

I rescued my sweet boy, Rudy, from a small rescue place in England in 2013. I'll never know his backstory or his real age but the 8 wonderful years I got to spend with him will be some of my greatest memories. I was so nervous when he flew over from England but his smiling face was waiting for me. I'll forever miss you my little lad. I love you always.

KAILEY was a beautiful, gentle, and loving Golden Retriever, who never judged anyone and always gave unconditional love.
Known as “The Pretty” her kind eyes and gentleness were an instant attraction
On November 30th had to say goodbye to her.
For 11yrs she gave us nothing but pure joy and unconditional love.
She will be missed and will be forever in our hearts.

Wallace was a rescue but he clearly rescued us!

Soft & fluffy Athena was adopted as a rescue into our family in April 2006. She always was the first of our cats to greet us at the door with a friendly meow hoping to be fed immediately! Sleeping in the sink, sipping from the faucet were some of her favourite things. She had a presence of royalty. We will miss her purr but her memory will always be in our hearts forever!

My buddy Neely passed away suddenly on Dec.27th, 2021
He loved to play fetch, wrestle, chase squirrels, roll around in the snow, jump in his pool, chase the lawn mower, and sleep in his "Closet Cave".
He loved all of his furry friends and will be sadly missed, but happily remembered by all.
BEFF!! 😊

Daisy was so very special. A more loving and snuggly girl there could never be. She will be forever loved and remembered.

Thank you Southside for all the years of care you gave her, especially Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Lucas.

QTip's favorite things in life were sharing a freshly opened can of tuna, finding the perfect sunny spot to sleep in, hanging out in the backyard and always being near (preferably on top of) her humans. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives for 18 years. She is missed so much, but we will always remember her sassy personality and the unconditional love she showed us.

We were so blessed to have had Bella in our lives for 10 years. We got to watch her grow from a rambunctious puppy to an old lady that would enjoy the sun on the back deck. We miss you Bella. ❤

Madison was so very loved, she was my best friend. She lived her best life right until the end, and for that I will be forever grateful. I can’t express enough thanks and gratitude to the team at SSAC for your amazing care of my baby. Madison, I’ll be looking for you across the rainbow bridge💕

Rocky!!
He was a character till the end. We had almost 14 years of great memories and he was always entertaining us. We miss him dearly!
Loved by many!

Our sweet Molly passed away on June 29th. She was 14 years old. She was the sweetest, most loving little babe. Friendly and loving to all. We miss her so much but we know that she is out of pain and with her brother , Max, who passed in March of this year.
Our house is not the same without Molly’s friendly, warm and cuddly being. We all loved her so much. ❤️ ❤️

Our dearest Chelsea started out with a tough life however at 7 she stole our hearts during a visit to the local shelter. She had a spunky personality and was the loudest dog I think anyone has ever met. She wasn't fond of walks or nail trims but she sure loved her cuddles and pink elephant stuffy. Our house is much quieter and our hearts are heavy without her. We were blessed with 5 wonderful years with our little Chelsea Bear.

Jazzmine (Jazz) was such a sweet girl. Loved cuddles...and treats. She learned how to high five and shake a paw. Jazz was my soul-kitty....she knew my moods and comforted me when I was blue. Jazz left a HUGE hole in our hearts when we had to say goodbye. Miss you so much baby girl.

7 years ago this sweet little man reached out to us in the pet store, he of course melted our hearts then and he came home with us the very same day. Little did he know he would be a pampered king as he much deserved. From all of his little quirks: sliding the water dish around the house, his silent meows, window watching, and most importantly snuggles with his mommy. He is greatly missed but he left us with his siblings to watch over us.
“Your favourite spot on the couch is empty now, where you would lie and sleep. But the memories are ours to keep forever.”

Pogo, the little dog who brought us so much joy. From cuddles, stinky kisses, and a love of cheese your personality got the attention of everyone in the room. Your life was full of adventures, dock time, and sun bathing. We are so thankful for 16 years of your love. You will forever be in our hearts.

On New Years Eve day we lost our wonderful friend and companion Luna. When we adopted her from a lovely young woman who could no longer care for her. Luna was very reserved and shy but soon became a loving and cherished member of our family. Although she had a distinctly quirky personality, she was quiet and affectionate and was our constant companion. She knew that we loved her and we knew that she loved us. We miss her terribly but we are so grateful for all the joy and love that she brought into our lives. Thank you Luna. You will live in our hearts forever!

Cotton was a wonderful member of our family for 15 years. The day we adopted him, we knew he was unique. He played fetch, he loved to snuggle and always knew when we needed a little extra love in our day. Cotton was an amazing boy and will be missed by Emma, Mary and Jesse. May he rest in peace ❤️

And then there was beautiful Buffy.
Dogs were my preference in earlier years ... my second husband being a cat lover & having two cats at once Wowie!
I thank all of you for the beautiful card you sent me this week and for your services over the years....
I think I am ready to retire at 81.

I had Snoopy for 12 years. He was a great companion and friend. Well known all over my neighbourhood. We traveled all over the province to watch my granddaughter play competitive soccer. Snoopy always in tow. I will miss him dearly.

Our dear sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge on April 26, 2023. Just writing this brings tears to my eyes, she was my side kick, unconditional love both ways. She is missed deeply…so much so, that the tears still fall & will for a long time.
Carlee loved the beach & enjoying walking along the waters edge just enough so to get her legs wet. When she did, she would look up at me … look at me momma!
Thank you to all the staff at Southside for all you do for our fur babies.❤️

Roxy was the most wonderful dog we could have asked for. Her life may have not started out easy, but she lived a life of comfort and freedom till the very end. She was Aidan and Madison's first best friend she was Bryan and Amanda's first "kid." She was loved by everyone who met her. You will be forever missed Roxy Ann our beautiful, golden-eyed girl. She will be forever missed by Bryan, Amanda, Aidan, Madison and Daisy.

My Carly was such a joy and part of my heart from the day I saw her as a tiny little puppy. There will never be another dog like her who was obsessed with me as much as I was with her. She gave me unconditional love and I called her my mental health treatment. I feel like I missing part of my heart and life without her and I hope I gave her as much love as she gave me. I hope she is running with our lab Cody who was just as amazing and getting all the treats she wants in her belly. Until we meet again Carly we all love and miss you so much!!

Harley Page (my Barley-boy).
My beloved adventure partner and friend.

Jessy-Catherine October 2010 - March 2022 Jessy was a fearless social butterfly who loved belly rubs. She ruled our house and our hearts.

Samson captured my heart in a way no one ever will.
We made sure he lived every day to the fullest from the day we brought him home.
He knew he was loved and will never be forgotten.
After spending his life on heart medication, his heart broke him and now my heart is breaking me.
We Love You Schmoops!

Pineapple was sweet, loved cuddles and very mischievous and very brave. He endured more than any cat should have. He had a gift to find a toy playful in everything.. a pencil, toilet paper, toilet bowls, tea towels, shoe laces and his brother's tail. Pineapple is greatly missed by brother Blue and his family. Pineapple was one of a kind and unique like the heart shape on his back. There simply isn't words to describe how loved he was and how much he is missed.

Our sweet Delilah, we had to say goodbye to you on June 29, 2022. Thirteen years after we first laid eyes on you and fell in love with the cutest little puppy. You were the perfect little sidekick, you protected us from the dangerous squirrels, you were our little Hoover vacuum if any crumbs fell to the floor. You cuddled with us when we were sad. You always greeted us with a wagging tail when we would come home. You loved going on walks and would always lead the way. Your absolute favourite thing was getting belly rubs and taking naps in our arms. Delilah, how I miss your little snores.
We miss everything about you. You were the most amazing part of our family. And we are heartbroken that you are gone.
We love you so much Delilah. Xoxo
Love always,
Your fellow weasel (Tarra) and fellow monkeys (Emily and Hailey).

Sorry for the delay but if you'd like to post the following Memorial for BK. I also wanted to say the card was very thoughtful and special to have so many people write in it. I very much appreciated that, thank you.
My BK: The sweetest black kitty you'd ever meet. She loved being my morning alarm clock, singing in the bathroom, relaxing in the gardens and would give you the cutest tap when she wanted to be pet. I miss you everyday!

It is with heavy hearts our beautiful Miguel passed away on November 28, 2022 He would have been 20 in January. We were lucky to have had him for 15 years. He was the best cat ever and truly a wonderful family member. Everyone who met Miguel over the years loved him. There will never be another Miguel, just ask Dr. Karen. He will be missed very much. RIP My Beautiful Boy ❤️❤️❤️

Dozer was not your typical Bulldog; he was full of energy and special in so many ways. He loved being outside every chance he got whether that was camping in Bancroft by the lake, chasing his ball in the yard or just chilling on the back deck. He had so much personality and was loved by many who had the chance to know him. Dozer brought us so much joy over the past 14.5 years and we are holding the memories of our “Mr. Magoo” forever in our hearts.

My sweet boy Max left this world cradled in my arms on December 20, 2022. He brought happiness and smiles to all he came in contact with. His tail never stopped wagging. He loved to cuddle, go on walks and chase the squirrels out of our backyard.
He will soon be playing with his sister Maggie and his brother Malu who are waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge.
I will love and miss you forever! Max was one of a kind.
A special thank you to all the staff at Southside Animal Clinic for taking such good care of Max and the compassion with which you did it.

We are sad to share that on January 5th at 5pm our little Dixie (a.k.a Dixie-Do, Little Peanut, Skinny Minnie, Apple Dumpling) crossed the Rainbow Bridge at Southside Animal Clinic. She was a precious little girl who loved to investigate, had a large passion for food and loved to snuggle and spend time with her family. She was 12-years-old and had lived with us for 6.5 years of that time. We are so thankful she came into our lives and was such a good big sister to Rya. Her crooked-teeth smile was enough to light up any room. We love you our strong, brave little girl forever and ever. ❤️❤️

Sirius was such an intrepid and fearless kitten. Although he was so sick when we got him, he was incredibly brave and resilient. He loved being part of our family and having two older brothers to chase and boss around. He constantly made us laugh by trying to steal food and letting us know with his little voice when dinner was. Sirius was a great friend, always close by and eager to snuggle or be a comforting presence. He is sorely missed.

Max - you had three brain cells, and they were for kibble, stealing my spot, and licks. So many licks. You won over everyone you met with your goofy, loving energy. Cross country drives, rock climbing, shop dog...we did it all, didn't we? Love you, you big goober.

Brandy made friends with everyone she met. She was loved by even non dog lovers.
Camping, swimming and outdoors were some of her favorite activities.
Thank you for the loving care she received during her 13 years from all the staff at Southside.
She will be missed by many. ❤️

My little man
Deiter Von Peiter Von Oostenhousen den Ouden aka D man crossed the rainbow bridge on May 23, 2023 at the ripe old age of 14. He was an amazing boy who loved being outside picking his own tomatoes and raspberries, and if lucky he dug up a carrot or two! He will be missed .

Omen Ming Grist Nov 2001 - Jan 14, 2022.
AKA Ming Ming Mang Meow! "Brrrrppppp"
Omen was more than a cat; he was a loyal friend who never left my side. His paw print is forever in my heart.

Ebony meant so much to our family and became a defect emotional support dog and she got us through a really hard time.
We didn't realize how much of a hole she would leave when we got her 21 years ago! You will be dearly missed Ebby, and will live forever in our hearts.

We rescued Shadow in September 2010, but he rescued us. He was about 4 and made himself at home the first night. He had a comfortable bed of his own, but preferred squeezing into cardboard boxes. He loved to be cuddled. Our beloved Shadow passed away April 8, 2022. We will always love you Shadow.

Max. Our great little boy. He was well loved and he gave us a lot of love. We sure do miss him. Molly , his sister, misses him so much. They were always cuddled up together.
Miss you sweet Max.

Words cannot express the heartbreak of the loss of Abby to cancer. She was a rescue dog who rescued us 10 yrs. ago after the loss of our 1st rescue Jenny. Abby was 2 1/2 when we got her. She weighed 38lbs.Normal weight should have been 75. She had been neglected and abused. Probably a puppy mill mom. She was shy yet brave. Loved all 5 of our grandkids. I would say "your puppy is coming" and she would run to the window and whine with delight. She bonded with our 12 year-old grandson since he was 18 months. They were inseparable.
My husband feels lost. Today, "man's best friend" is gone but never forgotten.
Special thanks to ABCR who entrusted Abby to our care.. To Roxanne from Raw for Pets. Without her care and knowledge Abby would not have maintained such a healthy body and mind. And of course Dr. Shaneen who has seen us through these loss of 3 dogs and 2 cats over 25 years.
We love you Abby with all of our hearts. Thank you being in our lives.

Sadly we had to say good-bye to our "Little Love" on August 19, 2022. For the past 10 years Bella brought a ton of love to our home and to my office as she went to work with me every day. As a family mediator, Bella was the perfect assistant and she would spread her love to those who were going through difficult times. She could always sense who needed her the most on a given day. Bella will be missed greatly by our family and friends. Thank you to all the staff at Southside Animal Clinic for your support.

We rescued Oz in 2017 as a senior, not knowing his real age or backstory. We were blessed to share 5 beautiful years with him. He filled our hearts and home with more love and happiness than we could have ever imagined. It will never quite be the same without him.
He peacefully left this world on Friday September 30th, 2022, in the arms of his two best friends.
Forever in our hearts, until we see you again, over the Rainbow Bridge.

We welcomed Indie into our home and our hearts 7 years ago. Throughout that time he would always welcome us home from our front bay window. At the age of 8 cancer took him from us. We have placed his ashes in front of his favorite window where he enjoyed watching the world go by.

Niko was deeply loved by his mommy Eliana and daddy Del. Also loved by his entire family and his buddy Papa. We will miss hearing his bark and his pitter patter around the house. He was a loveable dog. Mommy will miss you right by her side where ever I go. RIP Niko. Mommy misses you so much. Love you long time my precious fur baby Nik Nik.

“Our sweet Hunter… 13 years of unconditional love. You’ve been with us since the day you were born. You are now free to run with your momma and besties again. The sadness is overwhelming for our family but grief is a price we pay for love.”

In memory of Watson (2010 - 2023)
Thank you so much for all the great memories you left behind.
We miss you so much buddy.

Coal. June 15, 2010 - February 9, 2023
He was my conscience, my co pilot, my ever so faithful companion. Always so full of life and love to all he met. I won't just remember one or two things about him but a million little things. I will miss you until the day I die. And I will see you again.

Gone to soon, Fred left an impact on everyone he met. He was a handsome, friendly, expressive, energetic, and loving dog. He truly changed our lives for the better from the very minuet he came into our home, and it will never be the same without him. He will be incredibly missed by many, but especially by us. Love you forever our bestest boy. In our hearts. Always.

Jan 2010- May 5, 2023
It’s almost as though he knew there is only room for one king, so just before the coronation he graciously gave up his place on this earth.
But not before leaving us with these important lessons:
White couches ARE dog-friendly;
Every walk is worth it, even the short ones;
And an old dog can teach a person new tricks.
We will miss you terribly, King Walter.
Rest in peace.

Ozzie my sweet lump of love, always by my side while I worked from home. You are dearly missed. Love, love, love you.

Gabi, Dan, Will and Tish 💔

Juno Beach was a great girl! She aimed to please and only wanted to be loved in return. She was a great, big teddy bear with such an easy-going personality. We could never replace a legend like her.
We will miss her so much!

With great sorrow our precious little girl Holly passed away on Jan. 22/ 2022. She was 10 years old. It was very sudden. A very good, smart, and beautiful girl. Loved by everyone that met and knew her. Holly was a wonderful part of our family and will be sadly missed by all. Tears are very hard to hold. Thanks for all the great memories. Gone but not forgotten.

Tripper was a lovely pet and great company, especially after the death of my partner. He wasn't too fond of having his nails clipped but, once he was at the clinic, he enjoyed the attention. He was a rescue kitty whom I adopted when he was just about four (according to his teeth). We had 16 good years together and I have lots of good memories.

Gussy was such a fun little kitty, who enjoyed cuddles, being all tucked up under my chin, and making mischief with his little squeaker piggy. He liked to chase his siblings, the three of them tearing through the house and he loved to look out the front window from his tree.
He was so friendly and was a little purring machine. He was always in the gym with me when I worked out, dodging my feet during jumping jacks and ripping up my yoga mat.
He loved to chow down on popcorn and his fair share of charging cords. He always waited for us in the window until we got home from work and I'm going to miss seeing that fluffy face waiting for me when I walk through the door.
Even through all the visits to the vet and the long car rides, he kept his spirits and his energy high.
Gussy's time here was short, but he showed us so much love every single day. Even when he was hurting or uncomfortable post surgery, he loved to just curl up with you and start purring.
Thank you to everyone at Southside Animal Clinic for all the care they gave Gussy over the past 8 months.
I am going to miss my little workout buddy.
"So When Tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we're apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I'm right here in your heart"

Max was adopted at 16 weeks old. He was the last pick of the litter but quickly melted our hearts. His speckled fur, sad brown eyes and caramel colored eyebrows were unique and seemed to match his good-natured personality. He loved playing fetch, and snuggling. He was one of a kind and very loved.

Dudley Shack, beloved best buddy of 15 years, passed Sept 22. He loved car rides, long walks, meeting friends & trips to Florida. His favourite toy Quackers was always nearby. Dudley’s silly antics and facial expressions were amazing. Quite a character! Forever in our hearts! RIP Little Buddy!

Zander came to me in December 2014, he diabetes in December 2020 and I had to say good bye to him in December 2022. My son felt I needed someone to give me caring love and hugs to as I had been pretty lonely since May the same year, when I had to say goodbye to my sweet Lab, Jakoby, who we called Jake. Zander got his name from my son.

I don’t know why I torture myself getting another companion when I know that down the road I will feel heartache. Well, I think it is the pleasure of giving love and getting love from someone who adores you, and does not judge you. Zander’s beautiful blue eyes adored me and I took him from an out of control high strung personality to a loving adorable boy who would do anything to please me, and the staff at Southside, his favourite place to go. Zander had personality plus and so much love to give and he craved for that human touch 24 hours a day. He was enormous due to his long legs, yet he thought he was a lap dog. He would sit beside you and expect your hand on him at all times and would pull it towards him if you took it away. I loved the way his spots were situated on his body. He had a pure white face but as he got older he got black freckles. He was so sad when he got diabetes and had to get needles twice a day, but he managed it fine even though we could not get his glucose levels to stabilize. He especially loved seeing Shaneen Kennedy his doctor and she tried her best to help him feel better but when he went blind he lost his spirit and he was so frightened by the dark…..I am crying as I tell you this but am so happy that where he is now he can see again and has no illness. I feel better when I think of his beautiful smile and his beautiful blue eyes and all the love he gave me. Miss my beautiful boy who leaves behind a cat and a kitten and myself and my son and his family.

We were so blessed when Phelix choose Lindsay a his human Mom, and Peter and I were even more blessed when he lived with us as she could not take him with her when they were transferred. We became his Nana and Pop Pop for always. He will remain forever in our hearts for his unconditional love. Born in 2004 we lost him in December 2022. He is now running free of the pain we could not ask him to endure any longer. Never to be forgotten, loved forever.

After a full, happy life our beloved Tyler has left us. Ty leaves many human and animal friends who all have missed his caring, loving ways, and his rear being backed up for butt scratches. Tyler was a very smart dog with human personality and compassion. We will miss you every day, Tyler. Until we meet again.

With a very heavy heart, on February 7, 2023, we had to say goodbye to our handsome boy Brodie. He was such a wonderful part of our family. He brought joy to everyone. He will be missed so much. We love you Brodie. Thank you for bringing so much joy to all of us. 🐾❤️

Our big girl Liz was a very kind German Shepherd. She was a companion to her little buddy Ginger and crazy cat Minnie. Her bark was loud and always happy to see people that were part of her circle. She loved the snow and doing zoomies . Her backyard was Liz's sanctuary, from Spring ducks in the pool, jumping squirrels and many sunshine lazy days.
She is greatly missed by her human and mommy Mary, Mark and Sue. Thank you to all the compassionate staff at Southside. We are truly blessed to have all of you care for our many animals over the years.

So grateful you chose me as your person. You lived life on your own terms and had the nickname of Evil for the first part of our time together. Once you learned how to cuddle, it was all you wanted to do! The house is empty without you but you are forever in my heart. Love you baby girl!

Oso Chipres 1/15/2012 – 5/9/2023
Our dearest boy, Oso was a messy(!) puppy but despite a rocky start, became an Akita unlike any other, AKA our very good boy. Many thanks to all his many caregivers for making his life exceptional. He will be missed dearly by all and never forgotten xoxo mommy and daddy-o.
