We love our pets and never want to say goodbye. However, when that time does come, you may find yourself in need of a special place for your pets to rest eternally. Nestled at the foot of Read Mountain, Pet Haven Memorial Gardens is a lovely two acre haven dedicated by the Roanoke Valley SPCA as a burial place for your beloved pet.

Pet Haven offers a way to lovingly care for your beloved companions even after their departure. Beautiful Rainbow Bridge offers a serene spot to scatter ashes, while the Pet Haven cemetery allows for the burial of your beloved companion to lie in repose.

Pet Haven Memorial Gardens is located at 7515 Shadwell Drive in Roanoke County. At Pet Haven Memorial Gardens, we help you keep the memory of your pet alive. The services that we offer are described below:

All burials will take place according to staff availability. We require a minimum of three days advance notice to prepare the grave for the burial, but will do our best to accommodate your wishes. If you would like to be present prior to or during the burial we would appreciate knowing this when making arrangements for your pet as extra planning is required. The current cost for preparing the grave (including closing the grave following the burial) is as follows:

To be buried at Pet Haven, all pets must be buried within a casket (wooden caskets are not acceptable). To purchase a casket, we recommend contacting Oakey’s Pet Funeral Home and Crematory.

Pets buried at Pet Haven Memorial Gardens must have a permanent marker placed on the grave site within sixty days. The Roanoke Valley SPCA will order a marker for you or you may purchase your marker directly from an approved supplier. The two approved suppliers are as follows:

Should you choose to have the Roanoke Valley SPCA staff order the marker, an additional $25 convenience fee will be added for the cost of handling.
The Roanoke Valley SPCA will be glad to pick up your pet from a local home or veterinarian. The Roanoke Valley SPCA does not have the space to respectfully hold your pet until burial and will charge a $25 fee to pick up your pet.

Individuals wishing to use the Rainbow Bridge to scatter their pets cremated ashes may do so. If you need cremation services we recommend Oakey’s Pet Funeral Home and Crematory or B&B K-9 Kennels.

You may add simple decorations to the grave site. Flowers should be kept in vases. Staff will remove weathered, damaged, or worn decorations and flowers. The Roanoke Valley SPCA is not responsible for items left at the grave site that may become damaged, lost, or stolen.

Payment in full is required at the time services are provided.
