Every single staff member treated us with such kindness, patience, and understanding. You made one of the hardest days of our lives just a little more bearable, and that means more than we can say.
A very special thank you to Dr. Shane for the beautiful handwritten card. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture, and it truly touched our hearts.
Thank you all for your warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. We will never forget it. 🐾❤️
