Our partners
When we work together, we save more lives.
And real, lasting change only happens when we come together for the animals who need us.
Every day, we work side by side with people and organizations who share our commitment to ending the killing in our nation’s shelters. When we stand united, our strengths, expertise, and collective impact become something truly powerful.
Our partners are part of a vibrant, diverse community: corporate partners who help amplify awareness and deepen support, Best Friends Network Partners who collaborate locally to save more lives, foundation partners who fuel innovation and growth, and celebrity allies who use their voices to shine a spotlight on pets who need help.
Together, we’re building a movement rooted in kindness, connection, and shared purpose — and changing the future for pets and the people who love them.
Corporate partnerships
Our lifesaving progress is fueled by corporate partners who use their resources to create positive change for pets in shelters, and we couldn’t be prouder to work alongside them.
Best Friends Network Partners
Together with public and private shelters, rescue organizations, and other animal welfare groups, we’re paving the path to a brighter future for homeless pets.
At Best Friends Animal Society, we know that collaboration is the key to saving more lives. That’s why we work closely with the people who know their communities best.
Through the Best Friends Network, thousands of organizations across the country receive the guidance, resources, and encouragement they need to save more lives — each in their own unique and specialized way.
But we couldn’t do it without the most important supporter of all: you. Our network partners rely on the help of caring animal lovers like you to adopt, volunteer, foster, donate, and spread the word about their organizations.
Whether you’re the manager of a sanctuary, an animal care worker at a local shelter, a volunteer, or simply a lover of animals, you have the power to make a real difference in the lives of homeless dogs and cats. Let’s pave the path to a brighter tomorrow for our best friends together.

About Best Friends Animal Society
Best Friends Animal Society is a leading animal welfare organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs and cats in America's shelters and making the entire country no-kill. Founded in 1984, Best Friends runs lifesaving facilities and programs nationwide in partnership with more than 6,000 shelters and rescue organizations. From our headquarters in Kanab, Utah, we also operate the nation's largest no-kill animal sanctuary — a destination that brings our mission to life for thousands of visitors each year.
We maintain the most comprehensive animal sheltering data in the country and make it accessible to the public — empowering communities with critical insights into the needs of their local shelters and how they can help. We believe every dog and cat deserves a home. And we believe that, by working together, we can Save Them All®.
