Petals for Animal Companions (PAC) is a free floral delivery program offered by Snickerdoodles' Rabbit Rescue & Pet Loss Support 501(c)(3) operated by all volunteers for individuals and families experiencing loss of a pet.
For many, our pets are like family members, and grief from the loss of a pet can be comparable to that of a human loss, and can even moreso be complicated to navigate.
Loss can take on many forms and can extend beyond death. Loss can look like an individual having an extended stay in the hospital and being away from their pet, a pet escaping the home and not being able to locate, or anticipating the loss to occur in some way or another.
It can feel like a type of grief that isn't openly acknowledged socially, creating more obstacles that one may find themselves experiencing.
Our PAC program serves as a stepping stone to normalize the grief associated with the loss of a pet, and to celebrate the special bond that we may continue to hold with them even after that loss.
PAC volunteers will work with the floral shop to create an arrangement that symbolizes the relationship between human and animal, providing a colorful, special gift to memorialize the beloved pet and showing support to someone you care about.
