Bishop

2009 – 2024

Our sweet boy Bishop crossed over tonight with the help of Lap of Love. He let us know it was time . Bishop was adopted from The Humane Society of North Central Florida in 2017 and was the perfect addition to the family ! He was “ Mr. Congeniality “, - liked everyone and every creature ! He enjoyed doing Nosework and going for walks with his brother. He will be missed very much by his brother Buddy and kitty sister Lily. For such a quiet kind of guy, he had a huge presence ! I know Bishop will be searching for Birch on the other side with his siblings Haley, Ben and Rudy and his good friend Barney ! Haley will be in charge of course ! We miss you lots! Till we meet 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.

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.
