Journeys Home

Journeys Home offers in home euthanasia within an hour radius of Madison and serves Dane, Rock, Iowa, Jefferson, Sauk, Green, and Columbia counties. They are dedicated to making your pet’s last moments peaceful and comfortable. Journeys Home strives to increase awareness of home euthanasia as a peaceful alternative to in-clinic euthanasia, prevent pet suffering by assisting families in their decision to euthanize before pain and discomfort significantly impact the pet’s quality of life, and before the care of the pet becomes burdensome or impossible for the family to manage. They also support families through the grief process by sponsoring events (Remembering Our Pets in Septembe) that offer a community gathering of people who have loved and lost a pet. These events are ways of honoring our pet’s memories and celebrating the joy they bring to our lives.

What Others Are Saying

"When my Sammy was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, I thought my world would end. I was terrified and felt hopeless. The Czar's Promise family understood it all. I had people to talk with who understood my journey like nobody else did. And they helped me process through Sammy's treatment options so I could make the best choices for her and our family."

—Dana Zurbuchen—

"When I found a small toe mass on my 3 year old, running partner Rogue’s foot that was confirmed Malignant and Aggressive Digital Melanoma, I was devastated and confused. Although the cancer diagnosis was incomprehensible, the excellent care, counsel and treatment we received from Dr. Shiu, Dr. Singh, and the entire care team gave us more than we expected...no more cancer! I am so happy that we have our very own refreshingly local support group, Czar’ Promise to continue awareness, education, and promote healthy lifestyles for people and their pets who have been touched by cancer. Thank you for what you're doing."

—Dr. Laura Oxley, Healthy Pet—

"Brady and I were fortunate to have the BEST veterinary oncology team in our own back yard. Through our terrible journey that was Osteosarcoma, Brady and I made life long friends, and I am blessed to be part of an organization that is so personal and important to me and doing remarkable work. Brady touched so many lives all over the world and was an inspiration to all that knew him. To Dr. Shiu, his staff, Beth Viney and everyone at Czar's Promise, thank you! I love you all!"

—Melanie Powers—

"I have been through the unbearable pain of losing my precious Goldendoodle, Gryffindor to canine cancer and find comfort in knowing 'Czar's Promise' will provide that much-needed education, funding, and support to those in our local community. It honors all those who have lost loved ones to cancer, and those who may be experiencing that hurt and uncertainty. Czar's Promise will be there to let others know you are not alone and provides a rainbow of hope for the future!"

—Christine Kober—

"Czar’s Promise has given me the invaluable gift of time, of another morning of snuggles, and another long evening walk. There is nothing more precious or worthy of cherishing than our time with loved ones, and I cannot convey how much this will forever mean to me. From the depths of my heart, I thank you all at Czar’s Promise."
