Meet Coal — New Arrival! Coal just arrived at the adoption center and is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace. Since Coal is a recent arrival, we don’t have much background information or many personality notes yet, but we’ll be updating their profile as we get to know them better. Every day reveals something new, and we’re excited to learn all the little quirks, preferences, and habits that make them unique. If you’re open to a little patience and a lot of possibility, come meet Coal! You might be the person who helps them feel safe, confident, and right at home. Check back for updates—or stop by to say hello and discover who Coal is becoming.

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. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

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.
