Shelters near you need help to save more lives. In 2021, nearly 1,872 dogs and cats were killed in animal shelters across New Jersey, but together with your help, we’re changing that.

Best Friends is working with animal welfare organizations and stakeholders statewide to save every pet who can be saved and reach no-kill through New Jersey by 2025. Your local shelter is counting on your help. Now is the time to get involved and make a lifesaving difference.
