Kookie

2012 – 2026

Dear Kookie,

What a beloved and special dog you were—and always will be. Thank you for filling Dad, Carol, and Mason’s home and hearts with so much love, laughter, and joy. You were more than a pet; you were a treasured member of our family, and you always will be.

You are deeply missed. You are dearly loved. I hope your reunion with Duchess and all of your doggie friends is filled with happy tails, endless treats, and peaceful sunshine.

Run free, sweet Kookie. You will always have a place in our hearts.

With love,

Susan, Will, Kona & River

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.
