Bring home a pet with a compatible “fur-sonality”

When you adopt and add a new pet to your family this holiday season, you not only save a life, you free up space for other pets in need.

When you adopt an animal from Best Friends, sharing your life with an amazing new companion is just the beginning. As a new adopter, you become part of an extraordinary community of people devoted to their own pets — and to saving the lives of others. Indeed, you become part of the Best Friends family.

Best Friends is partnering with these communities throughout the country to help save their homeless pets, and you can be a part of that lifesaving when you raise your hand to adopt:

Arkansas • Navajo Nation • St. George • Virginia • No-Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) • No-Kill Utah (NKUT)

Adopt near you

Shelters and rescue groups in your community need caring people like you to adopt, foster, donate, volunteer, and advocate to help save the lives of pets.

When you give us your email address, we'll send you a list of shelters where you live and share more about how you can help save the lives of homeless pets.

Help homeless pets this holiday season

Everyone deserves a home — and that includes pets in shelters.

And when they don’t have a home, they’re at risk of being killed. 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 can help change that. No matter where you live, you can make a lifesaving difference for animals waiting for homes of their own.

Volunteer to save pets

Volunteers — passionate, caring people like you — are the heartbeat of our organization. Whatever your interests and wherever you live, there’s a way you can help.

Becoming a lifesaving volunteer

Foster a pet

Fostering a pet is a short-term commitment with long-term impact. By opening your home to a pet for even a day or two, you can save lives.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
