Memorial Donations: remembering a pet or person

A gift in memory of a pet or person is a tangible way to honor the enduring love we have for them long after they’ve passed.

When you make a memorial gift, you not only pay tribute to a beloved pet or person, but you also are supporting the work of Best Friends and helping homeless pets get the love and care they need to thrive while waiting for forever 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 blessings. Learn more about the blessings and watch past blessing ceremonies.
