Sandy

2011 – 2023

You were my heart dog, my soul dog and my "IT" dog. There will never be another like you and I cherish the memories we shared together. You got me through the toughest time of my life and were always there for me the last 12 years. You came to work with me, went everywhere with me and were my faithful companion through and through. The minute I saw you on Petfinder and looked into your eyes, I knew we were meant to be together. The end of your life crushed me beyond belief and I felt so lost without you. I now have another companion that I feel you sent to me because she was in need. She is not you, not even like you very much but she is this crazy girl that I love and hope to have half the bond we shared together in time. I will miss you for the rest of my life and think of you every day. Until we meet again my sweet Sandy girl. Yours was a life well lived and everyone that knew you, loved you. Especially me!!!

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.

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.
