Recognizing the need to provide bereaved pet owners with critical support\, the San Francisco SPCA continues to offer ongoing pet loss support groups. \nIn 1982\, the SF SPCA became the first humane society to offer a regular monthly grief counseling service—led by grief counselor Dr. Betty Carmack. Although Dr. Carmack has since retired\, the monthly support group continued under the supervision of Dr. Cori Bussolari\, associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of San Francisco. “The universality of the group is key—being able to express your emotions to others who can understand and relate helps provide validation. This group is exceptionally important for those who are grieving the loss of a beloved animal\,” she explains. The support group is currently co-facilitated by Sharleen Phillips\, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist\, and Shaina Madfes\, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist\, who both trained under Dr. Bussolari and have been involved with the group since Fall 2017. \n  URL:https://www.sfspca.org/event/pet-loss-support-group-2-3/2026-02-03/ LOCATION:SF SPCA – Geraldi Building\, 250 Florida St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sfspca.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/san-francisco-spca-pet-loss-support-group_2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Pet Loss Support Group":MAILTO:petloss@sfspca.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260215T170000 DTSTAMP:20260201T035036 CREATED:20260116T000437Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260116T000758Z UID:10000479-1771153200-1771174800@www.sfspca.org SUMMARY:Join the SF SPCA at Bark at Spark Puppy Love!
