Best FRIENDS
OF the ARBORETUM
No one enjoys and lights up the Arboretum like our four-legged best friends. Here we honor them.
Sherlock
Sherlock was born in Texas, in June of 2013. As a puppy, he would stick his nose into almost everything, so the name Sherlock fit him like a glove. He started out as the runt of the litter, and always considered himself a lap dog, even though he grew to about 100 pounds. After making the move to California, he became a frequent visitor to the Arboretum. An avid hiker, Sherlock could be found on the Sequoia Trail several times a week. He had a tail wag for everyone he met along the way, especially the children. He enjoyed the Arboretum so much, he even volunteered to work in the Booth. Sherlock left us in March 2025, but he will always be a Best Friend of Heaps Peak Arboretum.
Gaby
Hi Arboretum Friends, my name is Gaby. My mom adopted me in 2011, when I was just 6 weeks old. A great rescue group, ARWOB, found me in Tijuana, and helped find a forever home. When I come up the mountain to visit my auntie, my favorite thing to do is walk the trail at Heaps Peak Arboretum. I even went on the Haunted Halloween Hike. Don’t worry I only got a little scared when I saw the witches. Hope to meet you out on the trail soon!
