how it began

Our story began with Floyd, our first Great Dane. Our boy was deliberately poisoned, along with 10 others in 2009 while living in Toronto. We did everything we could do within westernized medicine. Our Doctor told us to take him home and say goodbye.

To give you a little background information about us... We never give-up on anyone in our family!

We started an aggressive holistic approach to healing, we used homeopathic remedies, vitamin IV, Chinese herbs, acupuncture and tinctures.... Something worked!

We got 3 more years with our boy.

We fully understand a balance within healing for our modern day families. We believe in a wide array of techniques in dealing with health. We started this foundation for the purpose of sharing our story with you and to bring awareness on so many wonderful alternatives to healing.

THERE HASN’T BEEN A DAY IN THE PAST 8 YEARS WHERE THE MEMORY OF FLOYD AND JEFFERSON HASN’T BEEN IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. EVERY TIME WE ARE DOWNTOWN, OVERLOOKING THE WATER, HIKING UP A PATH OR SITTING ON A PATIO – WE ARE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THEM. WE WANTED TO CREATE A DESTINATION WHERE OTHERS COULD SHARE THEIR MEMORIES AND CELEBRATE THE ANIMAL INFLUENCE.

RECENTLY,

We have been presented with an opportunity to develop Canada’s first ever legislated pet memorial gardens. Just love animals will be responsible for fundraising, managing and creating a “destination” for all pet lovers to share. We plan to transform the 5 acre property into a "Butchart Gardens style" artist collective. There will be a piece of everybody that cares about animal welfare and wants to be a part of their community.

MEMORIAL

We have a vision of creating a space for people to meet, remember and enjoy with their companions. Trees, chapels, art installations and brick walk ways will line the property with personalized messages remembering loved ones.

CELEBRATIONS

Bringing people together in a celebration of life event is a unique way to acknowledge a loved one’s legacy.  It gives people a chance to gather and talk about their mutual bond with a special being.  In sharing our stories, anecdotes and warm personal moments we're not only looking back:  we're forging new relationships and moving forward by creating new memories that strengthen, comfort and inspire us.
