2013 – 2025

When we started writing our memories of our precious Stella, we wrote 12 pages in one sitting and the memories have kept flowing since. Words really can’t describe who or what Stella was to us except that she was family, our best friend, our dearest companion, infinite joy, and a teacher and protector to our kids. We miss her more than words can possibly say and we’re so grateful for the years we were blessed to call her ours. May God bless her and keep her and may we be reunited one day. We love you so much Stella, and we will never stop missing you. Thank you for everything, sweet girl. Rest in peace.

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.
