Salt Lake City Best Friends Super Adoption: Where groovy pets met their people

On August 1-2 at Mountain America Expo Center, the public met hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats of all sizes, types, and ages from Salt Lake City-area animal rescue groups and shelters.

When you adopt a homeless pet from a shelter or rescue group in Salt Lake City, you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. And you’re making space for other pets to find families of their own.

We need the public's help more than ever to make no-kill a reality. So together, let’s bring our best friends home and Save Them All.
