STATE OF THE ART
In-home Euthanasia Service
614.264.2299


http://web.me.com/closureathome/Closure/Home.html
It is Dr. Hayes' belief that euthanasia is the ultimate act of courage and devotion by a person who loves an animal so she formed Closure in 2009 in response to a need for people who love pets to be able to take control of how, when, where, and with whom they will say good bye to their pets.  Angel Paws Founder/Director was fortunate enough to find Dr. Hayes when it was time to say good-by to Samantha, Angel Paws' Founding Therapy Dog, and simply can not find the words to describe the extraordinary service Dr. Hayes provides from first communication on.

Combining her passions and skill as a fine art photographer, and a love for dogs; Rachel's images easily stand on their own.  Always a creative and artistic individual, photography was introduced at the age of 13. It only made sense that her first subjects were animals, and soon a hobby became part of her identity.
