Kai

2019 – 2026

Kai was the sweetest, most loving, joyful, and innocent doggie in the world. He was our happiness and what made us smile each and every day. He will continue to be loved even more than when he was here with us. Forever in our hearts. We love you, papi chon!

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

Kai was the SWEETEST BOY! What I’ll miss most about the little baby is his aggressive greetings whenever I came over to visit. He would jump and leave love scratches on me, shower me with kisses and sometimes would surprise me with random nibbles. I also can’t forget when I let go of his collar that one time, even when I was specifically told to him tight and in a panic I ran towards him and he thought it was game… sigh. Sweetie baby, your fav teetee will always love you!! Please visit me in my dreams 💜
