A national leader in the no-kill movement, Best Friends Animal Society began in the 1980s, when a group of friends decided to do something about the routine killing of cats and dogs in shelters across the US. They started taking some of those “unadoptables” to a safe place and cared for them, eventually finding loving forever homes for the vast majority of these animals.
Best Friends Animal Society's ultimate goal is to “save them all” – the dream that one day, animals will no longer be killed in America's shelters. The organization works towards this dream by implementing spay/neuter and trap/neuter/return programs, increasing the number of people who adopt animals, and working with like-minded organizations and individuals to hold fundraising drives, mutual adoption events, and public education campaigns.
Additionally, Best Friends Animal Society runs the country's largest no-kill sanctuary for pets, where about 1,700 animals can be found at any given time.
