Best Friends Animal Society By: Chelsey Sehr

Mission Statement:

Best Friends Animal Society is guided by a simple philosophy: kindness to animals builds a better world for all of us.

  Best Friends' No More Homeless Pets campaign created a new

vision: A grassroots effort to place dogs and cats who were considered "unadoptable" into good homes, and to reduce the number of unwanted pets through effective spay and neuter programs.

  As the flagship of a grassroots network of people and

organizations that care about animals, Best Friends continues to lead the way towards this future. 

History of Best Friends Animal Society:

In the late 1980s, when Best Friends was in its early days, roughly 17 million dogs and cats were being killed in shelters every year.  

Best Friends has led some of the largest animal rescue efforts in recent history. 

Accomplishments:

Through the online Best Friends Network, the society reaches across the nation and around the world, helping local communities to rescue animals in distress.

  Best Friends offers workshops, internships,

training programs and conferences to help individuals, groups and communities to set up and manage their own shelter, rescue, adoption and spay/neuter programs.
