Accessibility & Inclusivity Statement
Paws & Peace is committed to providing a welcoming, respectful, and accessible experience for all individuals navigating grief and loss related to pets. We recognize that grief is deeply personal and shaped by many factors, including culture, identity, family structure, disability, neurodiversity, and lived experience. Our goal is to reduce barriers to support while honoring individual needs and boundaries.
