Donate your real estate to help homeless animals and receive a charity tax deduction in the process.

You'll be using real estate you no longer need to save the lives of animals while avoiding costly closing fees and the headache and hassle of selling a property. You'll also be saving the lives of homeless pets. It's an all-around winning scenario.

You can donate any property type (land, homes, commercial) so long as there is equity. We are unable to accept timeshares.

How a real estate donation benefits the animals

By making a real estate donation, you will be supporting pets in need.

The money from the sale of your real estate will go toward funding the animal rescue work, spay and neuter surgeries, and educational work that Best Friends Animal Society does at our sanctuary in Utah, our lifesaving animal programs in cities around the country, and our support of animal rescue groups across the United States.

You benefit, too!

After you donate your real estate to us, you'll receive a tax deduction for your charitable contribution to Best Friends Animal Society, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) animal organization.

Best Friends encourages you to speak with your tax adviser about the details of claiming a deduction.
