Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends Animal Society is a non-profit organization that works to end the killing of dogs and cats in shelters by promoting animal welfare, providing resources for pet adoption, and operating an animal sanctuary. Founded in 1984, the organization has helped to increase the number of no-kill shelters in the United States and provides support for communities working towards this goal. The society's animal sanctuary is a rehabilitation center for animals from shelters, where they receive care and attention until they are adopted.
