Serenity

2016 – 2026

Serenity was the love of our life. She brought us so much joy and happiness.
Our sweet girl came to us when she was just six weeks old and in the 10yrs she lived on this earth, she touched so many people’s lives it’s impossible to count. With her charm, she unwittingly made many people fans of German Shepherds. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Thank you, Serenity for enriching our lives in more ways than we can count.
We will meet you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge!

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

I am so sorry for you loss, she was just the most amazing girl. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Serenity about 6 years ago and she brought so much joy to my life getting to see her every week. Our routine always involved treats and butt scratches and she would not let me forget that! Thank you for letting her bring so much love and joy to so many people including myself.
