Mission
Best Friends Animal Society is working with shelters, rescue groups and our members nationwide to bring about a time when there will be no more homeless pets. Best Friends had its origins in Arizona in the 1970s with a group of animal lovers who were unwilling to accept the conventional wisdom that humane societies and shelters had no choice but to kill their unadoptable animals. Best Friends operates the nation's largest sanctuary for homeless animals; provides adoption, spay/neuter, and educational programs around the country; manages the Best Friends Network, an interactive, online global community; and publishes Best Friends, the nation's largest general-interest animal magazine.
