It's a No-Kill Animal Shelter and Sanctuary. On any given day, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is the healing home for up to 1,600 dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, horses, pigs and other animals. 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.
