Caring for animals weighs on us.

Let’s figure this out together.

Welcome to this space, I’m Brenn.

If you’re here to take a look around, I’m glad to have you. Thanks for checking in.

If you’re here because your heart is a little uneasy these days, this space is for you. Find a cozy or comfortable place to be as we figure this out together.

My name is Brenn and I am a supporter of sharing life with companions of all shapes, sizes, and souls. And inevitably, this shared life leads us down roads of difficult experiences and challenging emotions. That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re a pet guardian, a member of an animal care and husbandry team, or any other setting where you experience the human-animal bond, the work I do aims to support you, animal caregivers.

Testimonials

Brenn was recommended to me by our amazing vet when we lost our beloved dog suddenly and traumatically. Brenn made herself available quickly and was a great comfort to me in the darkness of those first days. She was so compassionate and allowed me to voice all my concerns. She recommended good resources and validated for me the things I assumed might help me process. I greatly appreciated her warmth and support.
— Lindsay P. (Companion animal guardian)
Our clinic recently experienced the sudden loss of a patient after a routine surgery, which was heartbreaking for the entire team. When I reached out to Compassionate Creatures, Brenn was available that same day and offered in-person support.

She provided a calm and reassuring presence, brought thoughtful comfort items for the team, and shared helpful resources to guide us through the grieving process. Even staff members who were not ready to talk found comfort just knowing support was available.

As a practice manager, having access to Brenn’s services meant the world to me. Her approach is professional, compassionate, and accessible. I cannot imagine navigating such a difficult time without her, and I wholeheartedly recommend Compassionate Creatures to any veterinary practice seeking genuine
emotional support.
