About Angel’s Watch:
Over the years Angel’s Paws’ clients have appreciated the service so much that they have made donations, so that other families who may not have otherwise been able to afford it could offer the Angel’s Paws experience to their beloved pets too!
In 2015, our 501(c)3 tax exempt organization named Angel’s Watch was created to make those donations tax deductible. Donors have the opportunity to submit a photo for a star to be created in honor of their beloved pet and hung in our chapel. Repeat donors that already have a star are recognized with additional “sparkle” to honor their continued support. Donations of $500 or more can be honored with a memorial item in our “Garden of Unconditional Love” in front of our building.
If you would like to help a pet and family in this way, please send your donation payable to Angel’s Watch at 111341 Grooms Rd. Cincinnati, OH 45242 or donate online .
2025 Events:
Pet Memorial Walk (date & time TBD)
We hope you will join us at our Pet Memorial Walk for a beautiful opportunity to reflect and to celebrate the special relationship you enjoyed with your pet. Friends, family, and pets are welcome to walk too! One of our great delights is meeting the sibling pets your beloved pet shared a life with or.... meeting that new furbaby in your life that was no doubt hand or "paw" picked and sent to you from above! If your cat doesn’t happen to enjoy a stroll with a bunch of adorable canines, then please come and walk for them!
Recurring Events:
Free Pet Loss Support Groups
Groups are offered as 6-week programs consisting of virtual sessions led by a facilitator.
Each week, you will learn about a topic for your pet loss journey, and come together in a small group for discussion.
Educational topics are available to view on demand, whether you'd like to take the journey on your own or with your designated support group!
Meetings will be held every Tuesday evening, virtually via Zoom, and will include one in person social gathering.

You are not alone!
We invite you to join the growing number of people who recognize that pet loss is a significant life event…one deserving of the proper time and attention to reach a healthy resolution of closure and acceptance. Missing your pet often results in feelings of intense loneliness and isolation.
Support groups offer a remedy. Connecting with others who are experiencing the same feelings can have a profound impact on the healing process. Hearing the journey of others can allow you to put words around emotions that you had been struggling to adequately describe. Identifying and naming those emotions is a key ingredient to gaining control over them and then moving from pain to peace.
Support groups are an opportunity to help and be helped. Your story may unlock something for someone else that will help them heal…it’s part of the beauty of how your pet can continue to have an important impact in this life. Please come join us!
Volunteering
We have a number of clients who have used our services and love it so much they volunteer their time and talent to help us better serve our clients. If you would like to join our group of volunteers, please contact our volunteer coordinator at AngelsPawsVolunteers@gmail.com . We have LOTS of ideas that we want to implement to make Angel’s Paws even better…we just need more hands (or paws!).
