"Dogs come into our lives to
teach us about love. They depart
to teach us about loss. A new
dog never replaces an old dog, it
merely expands the heart.
-Erica Jong

My Beloved Callahan, Callie, Booboo: When we first picked you up 14 years ago I told you: " One day you are going to make us cry oceans, but not today" Unfortunately that day came and still can't stop crying your absence.
But you gave us great 14 years of laughter, compassion , protection, but the best, was your unconditional love and loyalty. I am glad you are not suffering pain anymore and you are running with Ocean and Nina in the meadows of the Rainbow Bridge. Until we see you again we love you!

We believe in honoring the lives of pets

Here at Best Friends, animals have such a special place in our lives. We honor those pets we’ve loved and those who need our help today. At Best Friends, we keep pets in our hearts

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.

Leave Your Remembrance

Share the memory of your pet

By sharing this pet’s memorial page, you’re helping to keep the memory of a beloved companion close — and you’re helping others understand the place pets forever inhabit in our hearts.

Watch a memorial blessing

You are invited to join us the last Thursday of each month at 4 p.m. MT as we remember the lives of pets we have loved and lost. For those who are not able to attend in person, a video recording of each blessing is posted soon thereafter online.

Watch a blessing

Show your love and support

You can let someone grieving the loss of a pet know that you care. Whether you send calming wind chimes or a sympathy card, your gift can be a source of light for someone during a difficult time.
