Remember Me Thursday
Every year, communities around the world come together for Remember Me Thursday, a global movement dedicated to shining a light on the importance of pet adoption and honoring the animals who have touched our lives. 
At Dorchester Paws, this evening holds a special place in our hearts. It is a time to reflect on the pets we have loved and lost, celebrate the ones who have found their forever homes, and advocate for the many animals still waiting in shelters for their second chance.
Our community gathers for a moving Luminary Walk, where lanterns are lit in honor or memory of beloved pets. Each light represents a story — a loyal companion, a cherished memory, or a hopeful future for an animal still searching for a family. Together, the glowing lanterns remind us that every life matters and every pet deserves love.
Remember Me Thursday is not only a moment of remembrance, but also a call to action. It encourages compassion for animals in need and highlights the lifesaving impact of adoption, fostering, volunteering, and community support.
Through shared stories, shining lights, and a community united by love for animals, we continue working toward a world where every pet is safe, valued, and part of a family.
Together, we remember.
Together, we shine a light.
Together, we create hope for the animals still waiting.
