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

Meredith,
I remember driving you down to Kelso years ago to pick up little puppy Argus and how adorable he was. He had the very best mom in you and we all will remember him with love.

Angus 🌈
Angus was River’s very first best buddy. He was always kind, gentle, and patient; even when River was a high energy puppy who didn’t always know his limits. Angus never minded. He showed River how to be calm, loving, and a good boy.

His sweetness, quiet strength, and gentle spirit will never be forgotten. Run free, sweet Angus. You are so deeply loved.
