You can donate to honor someone for their birthday, sponsor an animal, and more. Your gift is going to work right away to help homeless pets needing a second chance at life.

Our bond with our pets inspires us to be better humans, and to see the potential for love and resilience in each animal. Still, so many loyal pets are waiting to find families of their very own. 

In fact, a dog or cat is killed in America’s shelters every 90 seconds just because they don’t have a safe place to call home, but you have the power to provide a little extra love to homeless pets when you choose gifts that give right back.

About Best Friends

Best Friends Animal Society is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Just a few short years ago, cats and dogs were killed in staggering numbers in this country simply because shelters didn't have the community support or the resources to save their lives. That number is now less than half a million per year, but there’s still work to do to ensure a bright future for every dog and cat in America.

Best Friends operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals and is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets by working with shelters and passionate people like you. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill in 2025. Together, we will Save Them All.
