Bring happy home with Walmart

Best Friends was Walmart’s official collaborator as part of their celebration of National Pet Month in May, when we teamed up to find loving homes for homeless pets around the country.

Walmart is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets, and that’s why they named Best Friends their collaborator in May for Walmart's celebration of National Pet Month.

To bring happy home for even more pets, adoption fees at Best Friends Lifesaving Centers were covered thanks to Walmart and Blue Buffalo for the entire month of May.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Today, roughly 2,500 shelters are no-kill throughout the U.S. — and 700 more are just 100 pets or fewer away from reaching that milestone.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
