Society for Companion Animals

Society for Companion Animals is a partner of Best Friends, working together to save the lives of dogs and cats in communities like yours across the country

The Best Friends Network is made up of thousands of public and private shelters, rescue groups, spay/neuter organizations, and other animal welfare groups — all working to save the lives of dogs and cats in communities like yours across the country.

From Society for Companion Animals

Pet overpopulation is a huge problem in Texas. The Society for Companion Animals (SFCA) provides the critical link to solving this problem by moving unwanted but adoptable animals from high-kill shelters in Texas to partner no-kill shelters in New York, New Jersey, Vermont and Maine. These partner New England shelters have waiting lists of families ready to adopt. Virtually 100% of the SFCA animals transported are adopted.

Adopt a pet

When you adopt a homeless dog or cat you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. You’re also making space for other pets to find families of their own.
