Company Profile
Best Friends Animal Society
Company Overview
Back in 1984, a scrappy group of friends from far corners of the globe settled in a remote area of Utah’s high desert … and took the first steps to forever changing the future for pets in shelters.
It’s the story of Best Friends, but it’s much more than the history of a spot on the map. This group of ordinary but passionate people believed that every pet has a story, too — each one worth saving, each life individual and important. Today, four decades after they broke ground for a sanctuary in a remote region of the Southwest, achieving no-kill across the entire country is within reach.
This work is made possible by the personal and financial support of a grassroots network of members and community partners across the nation.
