Losing a pet is never easy, and coping with the loss of a beloved companion can be difficult. FETCH a Cure wants pet owners to have the resources they need to deal with the loss of a pet and work through the understandable grief.

Our new Virginia Beach Pet Loss Support Group will be offered quarterly in 2024 and led by counselor and art therapist, Maureen Kelleher, ATR, LPC. This group incorporates therapeutic art strategies in a group setting to support navigating grief after the loss of a beloved pet.

We ask that participants please keep all conversations during the support group confidential. If you have questions regarding the Virginia Beach Pet Loss Support Group, please email amanda@fetchacure.org
