Meet Maris — New Arrival! Maris, a five-year-old female, just arrived 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. Here’s what we know so far from her time in foster care: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:c87e0bbb-64db-41aa-92c4-… Her foster says she is settling in and "Everyday she shows us a bit more of her sweet and silly personality! Still likes to spend a lot of time napping. Everyday she’s warming up to us more and more and becoming more confident in the apartment and with the sounds of the city outside... she’s hanging out with us on the bed, meowing for pets and chasing her toys around. She has the loudest purr! Sounds like a little motorboat. She is such a sweetheart, you can tell she is full of so much love she is just learning to be trusting." If you’re open to a little patience and a lot of possibility, come meet Maris! 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 Maris is becoming. We are located at 307 W Broadway and open 11am-7pm, 7 days a week (excluding major holidays).

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.
