Dash

2026

Dash, you were taken from an abused home and fought your defensive fear of people instincts for nearly 16 years of life. Your personality of love outshone the abuse and you touched many hearts during the journey. You helped keep one rescue young adding years to life, while helping a younger rescue dog mature. An abused border collie was shown how to trust people again with you as a role model after a single camping trip. Dash loved all walks of life, including rescued cats who became brothers. Our kid was born in 2016 and for 9 years you showed her responsibility, respect and most importantly unconditional love. Earth no longer needs you Dash, your pain is gone. Your legacy and spirit will live through our family and dogs will follow in your pawsteps for generations to come. We love you always, Rest in Peace

Pet Parent

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.
