A place for the pets and people of our community
It’s also a place where people can celebrate pets and find resources to help them care for their animals. Our space is intended for everyone — whether you're here to meet an adorable adoptable pet, find a dog or cat to foster, or visit our maker space to make toys for pets.
Need help? We offer weekly vaccination and microchip clinics, free online training and dog behavior seminars, and a pet food pantry, stocked through community donations. See our calendar of programs and activities here.
This is a place where community members can adopt a new best friend and a place where people can gather to share knowledge with others, build awareness about issues facing animals today, and work together to Save Them All.
A place for pets and people who love them
Everything about the center — from its design to its function to its operation — reflects the understanding that our animal companions are an integral part of our families and our communities.

The biggest pet adoption event of the year is just around the corner!
The biggest pet adoption event of the year is just around the corner! Best Friends' Super Adoption will showcase hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats from rescues and shelters all across the region. This year's Super Adoption, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, from 10 am to 5 pm, is a single-day extravaganza of lifesaving. It will take place at the Campus Plaza on the beautiful grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and will feature local vendors, prizes, food, music, and of course, lots of adorable, adoptable pets who are looking for homes just like yours. Last year's Super Adoption helped more than 230 pets find homes, including every cat at the event. Let us know you're planning to attend, and we'll send you reminders before the event so you don't miss out on any of the fun. Plus, we’ll keep you in the loop with heartwarming rescue stories, fun events, and other ways to get involved.
