SPCA of Northern Nevada Presents
(Reno, NV) – The SPCA of Northern Nevada (SPCA) is offering a monthly pet loss grief class designed to help pet guardians with the passing of a companion animal, either recently or in the past. These classes will be ongoing throughout 2014 on the fourth Thursday of each month at 5:30 pm and will be held at the SPCA’s Stanley James Walker Pet Care and Adoption Center. This Thursday the class will focus on “From Grief to Mourning.” These free classes will focus on one to two topics each month about pet loss and will be moderated by Steve Woods, owner of A Beloved Friends Pet Crematory (http://abelovedfriendspetcrematory.com) and Rev. Stephen Arvin, local Public Safety Chaplain.
Our companion animals provide unconditional love and companionship so it is natural to feel great anguish and sadness when they pass, leaving a tremendous hole in our hearts. Find support and coping tools to move past one of life’s very real challenges with such topics as Understanding Grief, Stages and Myths of Grief, Normal Reactions to Grief, Consequences of Denial of Grief, Grief for Children and Seniors, and many other subjects.
The SPCA is located at 4950 Spectrum Blvd in Reno. Please RSVP to Elizabeth@spcanevada.org to reserve your spot in class. If you have any questions, please call 775-324-7773 x200.
The SPCA relies solely on donations from our community. If you would like to make a one-time, monthly or yearly donation, please visit spcanevada.org or call 775-324-7773 x204. The shelter is always in need of dog and cat food, bleach, hand wipes, paper towels and other necessities. A full list of items is available online.
