The Sanctuary

The largest sanctuary of its kind in the U.S., Best Friends has become the heart of a collaborative no-kill movement, and a model for the future of animal welfare.  

Today, because of people like you and rescues and shelters around the country,  we will bring the entire nation to no-kill in 2025.
