Welcome to Best Friends in Salt Lake City

Saving homeless pets in Salt Lake City
Last year, hundreds of thousands of loving dogs and cats were killed in shelters like the ones here in Salt Lake City just because they didn’t have a safe place to call home.
Best Friends Animal Society in Salt Lake City is working collaboratively with animal rescue groups, city shelters and passionate individuals who are all dedicated to saving the lives of cats and dogs in Salt Lake City shelters.
You can be part of that work too when you adopt, foster, volunteer or advocate. We can provide training and behavior guidance should you ever need it, or help you find local spay/neuter services.

Adopt to help save lives
When you adopt a dog or cat who’s been patiently waiting for a place to call home, you’re not only saving a life.
