About Us

At Paws Remembered, we understand that pets are cherished members of the family, bringing joy, love, and companionship into our lives. As pet owners ourselves, we recognize the deep bond you share with your furry best friends, and we're here to support you.

Coping with the loss of a pet is difficult, and we understand how deeply it can affect you and your family. Caring for your departed animal can be a healing and cathartic act, and we can help you to give your beloved pet the compassionate farewell and attention that he or she deserves.

We serve Gaston County and the surrounding area, including Gastonia, Belmont, Cramerton, McAdenville, Lowell, Mount Holly, Dallas, Stanley, west Charlotte, Clover SC, and Lake Wylie SC. We have served the local community for decades, and we welcome the opportunity to serve you in this difficult time.
