August 20, 2024 – The Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB) a leading nonprofit organization that offers support and resources to individuals and families grieving the loss of a pet is proud to announce a new partnership with Moose’s March, a 501c3 dedicated to the early detection of pet cancer. This partnership aims to bridge the gap in support and resources for pet owners, providing hope and saving more lives through early cancer detection and compassionate bereavement services.
As many pet lives are tragically lost to cancer, the need for early detection and comprehensive support has never been greater. APLB provides crucial emotional support to pet owners dealing with loss, while Moose’s March is committed to raising awareness and funds for the testing of early detection in underserved areas. Together, these two organizations will create a stronger network of care for pets and their families.
Colleen Rolland, President of APLB, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership: “At the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement, we understand the profound impact that the death of a pet can have on individuals and families. By partnering with Moose’s March, we are not only supporting those who have experienced loss but also working proactively to prevent such tragedies through early detection. My heart dog, Lily, died from hemangiosarcoma; this partnership is meaningful not only for me, but for the clients that I see and the thousands of grieving people who visit our Chat Room annually. Cancer is one of the causes of pet loss that we see. This collaboration represents a unified effort to provide hope, healing, and a brighter future for our beloved pets and their pet parents.”
Tricia Montgomery, Founder of Moose’s March, shared her heartfelt sentiments: “Moose’s March was born out of loss of Moose from Stage 4 Lymphoma, along with a deep love for our pets and a commitment to saving lives. Joining forces with the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement allows us to extend our reach and impact, offering both preventative measures and compassionate support. Together, we can make a significant difference in the fight against pet cancer and provide solace to those who have lost their furry companions. This partnership is a testament to our shared dedication to the well-being of pets and their families.”
The combined efforts of APLB and Moose’s March will enhance their ability to offer vital resources and support to pet owners facing cancer and loss. By working together, the organizations hope to make a profound impact in the fight against pet cancer and provide the emotional support that families need during these difficult times, working tirelessly to ensure that every pet has a chance for a healthy, happy life.
