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.
In memory of Hazel:
Soft brown eyes, a heart so true,
A loyal friend, forever you.
Through golden fields and skies so wide,
You walked with love right by their side.
A wag, a bark, a gentle cheer,
A presence warm, forever near.
Though paws may rest, your love remains,
A whisper soft in sun and rain.
Run free, sweet Hazel, chase the light,
A ...star now shining warm and bright.

I met Hazel during her later years, so she always had her big cute elbow pad hanging around with her. She was grumpy, but also kind enough to let my (also grumpy) dog come and hang out down in Torrey. They tolerated each other perfectly. Hazel definitely had an adventurous life full of sunshine, rain, dirt, mud, yummy treats, pets, toys, and most of all lots of love. I will miss you Hazel. ...💔💔
