Saving the lives of pets in the Navajo Nation
You can make a difference for the animals in your community.
Best Friends is working collaboratively with the Navajo Nation Animal Control Program, rescue groups, spay and neuter organizations, community members, and passionate individuals like you to increase lifesaving of cats and dogs in the Navajo Nation.
To save more dogs and cats, the Best Friends Navajo Nation program team is providing spay/neuter and vaccination resources, as well as transporting pets to areas where they’re more likely to find homes.
The lack of spay/neuter resources in the Navajo Nation has contributed to a free-roaming dog population that has become a public safety concern. We’re working to address the overpopulation by providing additional spay/neuter resources, along with increasing public awareness around animal-related issues in the Navajo Nation Chapters.
You can make a difference and help us end the killing in shelters in the Navajo Nation by volunteering, adopting, or making a donation to support our lifesaving work.

Keeping pets healthy in the Navajo Nation
Rural communities across the country struggle to access essential services, such as health care, let alone easily accessible and affordable veterinary care for their pets, and few communities are as rural and strapped for resources as the Navajo Nation.

Volunteer to help save the lives of cats and dogs
You can make a tremendous difference in the lives of homeless pets by volunteering to support our lifesaving programs in the Navajo Nation.
Adopt to help save lives
When you adopt an animal who’s been patiently waiting for a place to call home, you’re not only saving a life, but you’re also making space at our animal sanctuary for other homeless dogs and cats from the Navajo Nation.
