2013 – 2026

My dear friend, Carole, had to say goodbye to her beloved and best friend, Nova, last week. Nova has moved forward to his next adventure at the Rainbow Bridge and joined the fur babies who journeyed before him, each one of them carrying their special piece of Carole's heart! Nova was truly loved to the moon and will always be with his mom, guarding her heart and loving her with that special Nova love!

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

Furever loved, furever missed. R.I.P., precious Nova, as you continue to protect your mom's broken heart.
