What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Paws Pet Cremation was founded after Nicole and Rebecca Alamillo faced the devastating loss of their beloved 7-year-old rescue dog, Joey. Needless to say, Nicole and Rebecca thought of Joey as a full member of their family.

Joey, a beautiful shepherd mix who looked like a purebred shepherd, had been growing increasingly ill. Nicole and Rebecca could not bear the thought of losing her. For close to three years they lovingly cared for Joey, doing everything they could to try to nurse her back to health. Eventually, though, Joey’s brain damage became too great. Nicole and Rebecca had to make the excruciatingly difficult decision to euthanize Joey. Then they faced additional decisions regarding what to do with their adored pet’s remains and how to cope with the loss.

After that very challenging experience, and in Joey’s memory, Nicole and Rebecca made the decision to open a business that would offer individual animal cremation services, giving other pet lovers a loving option for aftercare.
