“Pet loss is the worst part of being a pet owner. Our pets are family. Every pet is different and brings a unique light into our lives. The loss of that light can be devastating. Coping with grief, especially in today’s world, is a difficult process,” shares Angela Prodrick, Executive Director of Blue Ridge Humane Society. “We at Blue Ridge Humane Society feel it is important to help people navigate that time of mourning and offer what support we can.”
The sessions will be moderated by BRHS staff and led by Judi Moolten. Judi is a former clinical social worker, with a PhD certificate in Stress and Somatic Psychology. In addition to being a stress coach Judi lives and resides in Hendersonville. Judi comes to BRHS as a volunteer, but also as a pet parent who uses animals to help heal stress and more! Judi also has suffered many losses during COVID-19 and beyond and will be available to just listen, or when requested offer feedback.
Pet loss and grief can trigger intense emotional responses that may need to be addressed with professional resources which is beyond what BRHS is able to provide through the Peer Support group. This cannot to take the place of professional counseling and therapy.

Dog owners and pet lovers are invited to bring their pups and friends to tour the businesses of the Historic 7th Avenue as they participate in the 2nd Annual Historic 7th Avenue District Pup Crawl presented by Hunter Subaru. The event will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2021 and benefits Blue Ridge Humane Society. Hosted by Guidon Brewing, the Brandy Bar, Southern Appalachian Brewing, Triskelion Brewing Company, and White Duck Taco Shop, each stop will feature a pet giveaway or treat as well as an interactive activity hosted by a local pet-centric business, such as paw print painting, paw reading, agility course, ask a trainer, and more! Crawlers may also enjoy specials just for the Pup Crawl at the host venues.
To see all the activities and to participate, purchase your “Pupport” online at www.blueridgehumane.org/pup. As crawlers travel around 7th Avenue they’ll receive a stamp at each location as they participate in each activity. When their pupport is full they’ll be entered into a grand prize drawing for a basket of merchandise and gift certificates from the host locations and more. Pupports purchased by October 10 are only $15. Last minute and onsite purchases are $20. Each pupport includes most activities and giveaways at each stop for participating pets, with some activities offered by donation. Proceeds from the event, as well as a portion of sales from the host locations, will provide rescue services for animals in Henderson County.
