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. Since then, the number of dogs and cats being destroyed in shelters has fallen to approximately 5 million a year. There has been much progress, but there is still much more to do.
For more information, visit www.bestfriends.org.
The next phase of this work – bringing the number down to essentially zero – will take more work and some bold new initiatives. Shelters are crowded with pit bulls, dogs abandoned after being bought from pet stores, stray cats rounded up on the streets and not looking their very best when they’re brought in, and other pets abandoned or neglected.
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. And that's why our purpose remains: A better world through kindness to animals.
We are most looking forward to meeting so many influential bloggers! We at Best Friends have found the technology community, and the nonprofit tech community especially, so willing to share. Learning from others at conferences and online have really enabled us, and in turn, the Organization to do what we have so far in the social media space!
