A Best Friends Angels Rest Pet Memorial

Shadow Bear

2013 – 2025

You brought so much light, laughter and love into our home. We'll miss your favorite things: playing fetch, staring contests, being our navigator in the car, sitting on the kitchen table and guarding the Christmas presents. We miss you so much, Shadow Bear! We always think we have more time, but we will be together again someday and you'll be in our hearts every second until then ...

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.
