2014 – 2026

We adopted Tristan from the Best Friends Zion shelter in the spring of 2014. Tristan's name was Jasper but we wanted to call him Tristan and kept Jasper as his middle name. He was an adorable puppy about 4 months old when we brought him home. Tristan has brought so much Joy to our lives. His funny personality and his unconditional love made our hearts sing. It was heartbreaking to have to let him go but he will always be with us and when the time seems right we'll adopt another buddy.

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.
