Bring joy home this holiday season

Everyone deserves a home — and that includes pets in shelters. And when they don’t have a home, they’re at risk of being killed.

In fact, 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. No matter where you live, you can make a lifesaving difference for animals waiting for homes of their own.

About Best Friends

Best Friends Animal Society is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Just a few 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 by 2025. Together, we will Save Them All.
