A Plea for Onyx: Helping a Pet Parent Care for Her Beloved Companion

For nearly 13 years, Onyx, a loving black lab, had been a constant source of comfort and companionship for his pet parent. Their bond was unbreakable, especially after the devastating loss of Onyx's sister to a rapidly growing tumor years ago. Now, Onyx faced his own serious health challenges.

Onyx was suffering from severe hip problems, making walking increasingly difficult, and leaving him unable to bear weight. Watching her beloved Onyx in such distress was heartbreaking for his owner who, due to her age and physical limitations, could not even lift him to take him to the vet. 

“It is hard to think of him not being here with me after so many years. He definitely is a ‘Momma's baby’, and has to be near me at all times. I will miss him so much!” “I can't tell you how much the assistance would be a blessing to me at this time. It is so difficult knowing your loving pet is terribly ill and not being able to make him better. Knowing he would be better if he passed peacefully, but dreading the thought of it is such a weight on my mind.”

Onyx’s mom desperately needed financial assistance to provide the peaceful passing he deserved. Her plea for help was answered through the generosity of Angel’s Watch donors. She was connected with Angel’s Paws, a team dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care for pets in need, and this “Momma’s baby” received a final, loving gift of a peaceful crossing over the Rainbow Bridge.
