Providing foster or hospice care for rescue animals, as well as tending to the needs of our aging companion creatures, has many rewards. It can also be heart-wrenching, as each of these endeavors ultimately culminates in a significant loss. The process of bereavement is frequently non-linear, and can impact us in unanticipated ways. While we expect sadness and heartache, we might not recognize the more bewildering changes in ourselves such as difficulty concentrating, irritability or forgetfulness. Please join us for a brief presentation on and interactive discussion of expecting and managing the many manifestations of grief.

Muttville is pleased to be able to bring you regular discussion groups on topics to address the emotional needs of our volunteers and fosters. Our discussions are led by Licensed Therapist Laura Goodspeed, MFT, who volunteers her time and services. Thank you Dr. Laura!
