Adopt a pet and save a life
Looking to find your new best friend? You can save the life of a dog or cat by choosing to adopt from a shelter or rescue group instead of buying from a breeder or puppy mill.
In 2025 alone, less than 400,000 cats and dogs were killed in this country’s shelters, including here in your community, simply because they didn’t have a safe place to call home.
We know millions of households will add a pet to their family this year and if just 1 in 17 more of those families chose to adopt a pet from a shelter, we could reach no-kill in your community and nationwide.
So when you adopt from a Best Friends location, a network partner or one of the many shelters and rescue groups around the country, you’re not only adding a loyal and loving companion to your family, you’re helping to save lives.
