At the 2026 Best Friends National Conference, we gathered together to spark ideas and share practical strategies to take lifesaving to the next level in our communities — everything needed to achieve, maintain, or return to no-kill.
We heard from presenters from different backgrounds and all types of organizations, including leaders in advocacy and community engagement, field and animal services, shelter medicine and animal care, fundraising and development, and more. Now’s the time to put what we’ve learned into action to save more pets back home.
