Help save homeless pets in MA
Shelters near you need help to save more lives. Every day, dogs and cats are killed in animal shelters across Massachusetts simply because they don’t have a place to call home. Together, with your help, we’re changing that.
Best Friends is working with animal welfare organizations and stakeholders statewide to save every pet who can be saved and reach no-kill through Massachusetts in 2025. Your local shelter is counting on your help. Now is the time to get involved and make a lifesaving difference.
Best Friends organizes transports in Massachusetts
Best Friends works with several animal welfare organizations in Massachusetts to expand our transport programs, giving rides to pets from areas where there are too many pets looking for homes to areas where pets are in demand so that they can have a better chance at adoption. Shelters in Massachusetts are also working with Best Friends’ Prince and Paws Shelter Collaborative Program to help shelters in the Southeast expand their lifesaving programming.
