Join us for a nationwide tour of in-person events designed to empower you with the tools and strategies to make a huge lifesaving impact for animals.

A dog or cat is killed in America’s shelters every 90 seconds just because they don’t have a safe place to call home. But you can help change that.

As an attendee at our one-day, in-person Bring No-Kill Home Summits in 2025, you’ll connect with industry experts and fellow animal advocates working to end the killing in our country’s shelters. Together, we can bring our best friends home and Save Them All.

You’ll walk away from one of our summits feeling empowered and energized, with toolkits and actionable next steps to make your community no-kill.

About Best Friends

Here at Best Friends, we believe that every dog and cat deserves the love, safety, and comfort of a home. 

Whether their home is a big house with a fenced yard or a cozy apartment — or it’s a community cat’s safe outdoor space — every pet deserves to have a safe place to call home. That’s why we’re working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.  

Just a few short years ago, cats and dogs were killed in staggering numbers in this country simply because shelters didn't have the community support or the resources to save their lives. That number is now less than half a million per year, but there’s still work to do to ensure a bright future for every dog and cat in America.

Best Friends operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals and is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets by working with shelters and passionate people like you. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill in 2025. Together, we will Save Them All.
