Best Friends organizes transports in Massachusetts
Best Friends works with several animal welfare organizations in Massachusetts to expand our transport partnerships, chauffeuring pets out of areas where they are at risk and delivering them to places where they are more likely to be adopted. Shelters in Massachusetts are also working with the Best Friends shelter collaborative program to help shelters in the Southeast expand their lifesaving programming.
