We will reach no-kill in this country in 2025.

Best Friends, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID# 23-7147797), operates the nation’s largest sanctuary for homeless animals and provides adoption, spay/neuter, and educational programs.

Save Them All

Stay in touch with the animals via email updates, as they get second chances at happy homes.
