Ritual to see a pet away

Place the interred pet site in the center of the circle you cast, if not possible maybe a picture or favorite toy. In this case, it may be wise to forego flaming objects/shoes/etc. Do a quarter call to each of the elements:

Hail to the seed moon, round in fullness and fertility. Lend your power here to my actions as I leave my pet to you!

East:
O winds that carry wild calls
From eastern watchtowers' echoing halls
Come stand at circle here and bless
and welcome now my friend and pet
As_____ Comes to you in Summerland

South:
O fires that stir the seasons changes
From southern watchtowers flickering ranges
Come stand at circle here and bless
and welcome now my friend and pet
As_____ Comes to you in Summerland

West:
O rivers that mix the earth and sky
From western watchtowers low and high
Come stand at circle here and bless
and welcome now my friend and pet
As_____ Comes to you in Summerland

North:
O soil that roots and soil that wanders
From nothern watchtowers here do saunter
Come stand at circle here and bless
and welcome now my friend and pet
As_____ Comes to you in Summerland

Invocation:
Herne, father of the wild things
I call to you
Come look upon your child
That I am leaving to your care
I invoke you, and ask your blessing
that my pet may be comfortable in it’s new home
That s/he may live in a loving and safe environment
So mote it be!

(What? Can’t carry the pet?Stand near the site)

Pick up the pet if possible,(or representation) and walk to the East:
Powers of the Wind, I present ______ to you!
Move my friend kindly, and keep her/him in your care!

to the South:
Powers of Fire, I present _____ to you!
