Best Friends Animal Society is a leading animal welfare organization dedicated to saving the lives of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Kanab, Utah—home to the nation’s largest no-kill sanctuary—Best Friends operates lifesaving facilities and programs nationwide in partnership with more than 6,000 shelters and rescue organizations.
At Best Friends, we have always firmly believed that collaboration with local pet shelters and animal rescue organizations, the people who know their communities best, is key to saving the lives of cats and dogs in America’s shelters. Central to this work is the Best Friends Network, a nationwide community of public and private shelters, rescue groups, and spay/neuter organizations across all 50 states. Built on the belief that local partners know their communities best, the network focuses on collaboration, information-sharing, and proven lifesaving strategies Our partners support each other and inspire their communities to increase lifesaving across the country. Simply put, when we work together, we save more lives.
