Become a Guardian Angel for homeless pets

When you become a Guardian Angel monthly donor, you provide steady, lifesaving support for animals who need it most and keep the momentum going so that we can reach the day when every shelter in the country is no-kill. Any amount makes a life-changing difference for pets in need.

Your generosity saves lives all year long

Become a monthly donor — we call them Guardian Angels — and you’ll ensure that animals get the help they need year-round, when and where it’s needed most.

Any amount makes a life-changing difference for pets in need.

Here’s what other monthly supporters are saying

Loyalty. Kindness. Unconditional love and support — these are the very foundations of our unbreakable bonds with our pets. 

And the same could describe Best Friends’ devoted community of monthly donors — a group we call Guardian Angels — who ensure homeless pets get the steady care and support they need.

"I have seen many TV spots and became a monthly member after these and doing my research. I feel this program is lifesaving to give every animal a new start in life."

“I've been a Best Friends supporter since I was a kid (I'm 41 now). It's the first charitable organization I ever donated to, and I'm still a monthly donor.”

Adopt

When you adopt a pet from a rescue group or animal shelter instead of buying from a breeder or puppy mill, you’re providing a lifesaving second chance.

We believe every pet deserves a home, whether it’s a house with a fenced yard, a cozy apartment, or a safe outdoor space for community cats. Do you agree?
