Pet Memorials: Remembering a Beloved Pet
A gift in memory of a pet honors that lasting bond and is a tangible way to honor the enduring love we have for our pets after they’ve passed.
When you make a memorial gift, it not only pays tribute to a beloved pet or person, but it also supports the work of Best Friends and helps homeless pets get the love and care they need to thrive while waiting for loving families of their own.
As part of your gift, you can pay tribute to your pet or your loved one’s pet in one of our monthly Angels Rest blessing ceremonies. Learn more about the blessings and watch past blessing ceremonies.
