Missy

2008 – 2024

All our dogs have been close to our hearts, but Missy was special. She had a rough start in life, but we rescued her at 7 months old, on Valentines Day, 2009. She instantly bonded with us and our other dog, Kit. She was shy but loving through our all too brief time together. Her health was failing over the past year, and we had to let her go on July 11, 2024, because neurological problems were taking her ability to use her hind legs. She was 16 and a few weeks old. We love you, little one, and look forward to seeing you again.

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.
