Best Friends Animal Society
Description
Best Friends Animal Society is the leading animal welfare organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs and cats in America’s shelters and making the entire country no-kill. Founded in 1984, Best Friends runs lifesaving facilities and programs nationwide in partnership with more than 5,000 shelters and rescue organizations. Best Friends’ pet lifesaving dashboard provides the most current statistics for shelters nationwide, county by county and state by state. We provide data-driven lifesaving policy solutions to assist your community in making progress towards achieving no-kill (the benchmark is a 90% save rate for cats and dogs.) Specific policy areas we can help your community with can eliminate puppy mills, end breed-specific legislation, support pet-inclusive housing, and develop community cat programs.
Best Friends assists with transforming traditional shelters into community resource centers, with community members and organizations providing support for pets and their people and helping to keep pets in the loving homes they already have. From our headquarters in Kanab, Utah, we also operate the nation’s largest no-kill animal sanctuary – a destination that brings our mission to life for thousands of visitors each year.
And we believe that working together, we can Save Them All.
