A Blessing for Animals  
Blessed are You, Lord God, for all living creatures You have made. 
You keep them in Your care and not one of them is lost without You knowing. 
They glorify You, each in its own way, and speak to us of Your beauty and love. 
Bless them and keep them from harm. They unquestionably accept their place in the rhythm of Your creation. 
May we respect them and cherish them for they are Your gift to us; through them may we come to know You better and praise You, their Creator. 
Blessed be the love and joy that they bring to us.
Amen.

  • Dear Military Families,

    There is some confusion on the web, leading members of the military to believe we are located on base.

    While we are available to care for your pets, please be advised that we are not a military facility, nor affiliated with Little Creek Amphibious Base.

    In the event of overseas transfers/PCS, we refer those cases back to the military due to the complexity of foreign-import rules.
