A pet bereavement group, Emmy’s Heart, meets at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month at Abrams and Weakley General Store for Animals, in Harrisburg. Founder Charlotte Kluge started the group after the loss of her beloved Yorkie, Emmy, when she realized how real and extensive grieving can be. The group is for pet owners/parents that have had to say good-bye to a beloved pet or have an ailing or missing pet.

“There is no time limit on grieving as our pets are our family, our partners, our hearts and our friends. Our goal is to offer a warm, open environment for you to express your thoughts, feelings and beliefs without judgment,” says Kluge.

Location: 3663 N. Sixth St. (upstairs meeting room). For more information, call Kluge at 570-713-5790 or email [email protected].
