Become a NKLA Coalition member

Though we’ve made tremendous progress for homeless dogs and cats in L.A. and across the country, there’s still work to do, and collaboration is key. Your organization can help by joining the NKLA Coalition.

Best Friends Animal Society worked side by side with Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) and the NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles) Coalition to go from a 56% save rate in 2012 to a 90% save rate in 2020. While navigating tremendous change and obstacles in the years following 2020, the city of Los Angeles has been able to maintain a high save rate through its partnership with Best Friends and the NKLA Coalition.

Our work is not done. We will continue to implement lifesaving strategies, create sustainable programming, and help the public support cats and dogs through fostering, volunteering, adoption, and advocacy. Please join us. Together, we can make L.A. no-kill.
