Peaceful Passings is a home-based animal rescue, located in Fluvanna County in Central Virginia. We work with senior, hospice, and special needs animals.

Our mission is to save senior animals. Our vision is a world where no animal is euthanized because of age or medical challenge when a quality of life remains.We work to achieve our mission and vision by establishing a rescue to house and care for senior, hospice, and special needs animals, in a home-like environment.

The rescue works to educate the public as to the worth and dignity of life, and provide sheltering where the needs of senior animals are met as long as a quality of life remains.

Programs are offered to the public that include, but are not limited to, grief counseling, care for aging pets, educational materials, and as a resource for inquiries from the general public.

Our rescue works to re-home lost and/or abandoned senior animals to loving homes, when such placements are appropriate.

Who am I?

I consider my work with animals to be a "calling." I believe our choices in life are driven by who we are; what we need to feel complete. In that respect, my choice to work with animals is driven by a need to advocate for a "voiceless" population, our animal companions. It is a personal and spiritual mission to serve the animals that have graciously chosen to share their lives with me. I have been a human companion to animals for over forty years. I am a person who cares deeply for the well being of all animals, and has found a special calling to work with senior and hospice animals. The insight that I bring to the mission of animal service has been acquired over time and can be learned by anyone with the desire to do so.

I have shared my life with senior and dying animals and found the experience to bring great peace and sense of satisfaction.
