No-Kill Utah Coalition

No-Kill Utah (NKUT) an initiative led by Best Friends that brings together passionate  individuals, city shelters and a group of animal welfare organizations to end the  killing of dogs and cats in shelters throughout the state of Utah.

In 2016, Best Friends committed to bringing the whole country to no-kill in 2025, and while incredible progress has been made, we need your help now more than ever to get across the finish line.

Achieving no-kill is a collaboration between shelters and their community, so the first step is for individuals to understand the progress being made in their own community and learn how they can help.

Our plan is straightforward: provide spay/neuter services where they are needed most so that fewer animals enter shelters and increase adoptions so that more animals are placed in loving homes. Working together, we can Save Them All. 

To become a member of the No-Kill Utah Coalition, you'll first need to sign up to become a network partner. Once you become a network partner in Utah, you will automatically become a member of the No-Kill Utah Coalition.

The Best Friends Network is made up of thousands of shelters, rescue groups and other organizations committed to saving the lives of homeless pets. Through collaboration, information sharing and proven lifesaving programs, our partners support each other and inspire their communities to save more lives.
