I donated $10.00 to this charity to help out any hurt and abandoned animals from the Hurricane Sandy disaster in New York City. This is a great charity because it make sure they can help out animals without putting them down. And you don't just choose this charity, but they give you an option to state any specifics on how your donation is used. So many people send money to hurt people, sick people, which is extremely important, but there are so many animals that need help too, and those animals can't help themselves, so I feel the Best Friends Animal Society is doing a great job at making sure those animals aren't forgotten. Please help out these poor, innocent, and defenseless animals are taken care of, and I wish to thank this charity to coming into existence so I can make a donation to do my part. I don't know for sure that anything was done, but I'm sure it was used and made a difference.

I have been donating to Best Friends for a number of years now mostly because of the amazing work they do to help creatures large and small either find a forever home or gives them a wonderful place to call home. The work they have done with re-branding Pit Bulls is fantastic. I would love to live closer so I could volunteer to help with the loving environment they create.

Best Friends does incredible work providing a no-kill shelter for all animals in need. I wish we had more organizations like them.

I love this organization. I first learned of it by watching DogTown, and I fell in love with what they do. I wish all shelters could help rehabilitate and provide a no-kill policy. Seeing what they do makes me want to move to Utah and work with them!

I have been a monthly automatic donor to Best Friends Animal Society for years. Last week I had the chance to visit the Sanctuary near Kanab, UT. It was beyond my expectations. They do lovely van tours. The area is just beautiful, and everyone is really nice and welcoming. There is so much love in the air, and you can tell everyone just loves what they are doing. There are some beautiful things to see in the area, not the least of which are Zion National Park, the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and best of all (IMHO), Moqui Cave. If you ever think about visiting Best Friends, don't miss it.

Best Friends is just wonderful. They help so many broken animals. I love the stories they tell about some of their animals. Plus they send cool videos. I love O. He is not very handsome but he sure is fun!
I have been a donor for a very long time. I trust what they do with the money I give. I admire the founders, they are very special. The most important part of BF is everyone who works, volunteers,or just visit for a day love the animals with there whole heart. I thank God for the wonderful place and I thank everyone who care for the animals. This is
send with my heart full of love for the animals and the wonderful people. God Bless You. Louise Reardon and my dogs Olivia. Mazie Grace,Penelope, Maggie and all of our cats.

My son discovered Best Friends via the television show Dog Town. We went out this summer and volunteered for a week. The place is amazing and it's all about the animals and not the tourists. I am also a donor and gladly help them with the amazing work they are doing!

I have watched Best Friends help some animals that people had given up on and come out with such heartfelt results. They never give up. The animals at Best Friends get the very best treatment and all the attention, affection, love and training.
They rescued quite a few of the Vick dogs and were able to rehabilitate and give them forever homes. They have also rescued dogs from hoarders and puppy mills. They are truly the angels of shelters. They are actually more than a shelter, they are a community in itself.
God Bless the people of Best Friends, they are truly dedicated.

I became familiar with Best Friends during Hurricane Katrina. They were the first group there to help the animals. I made my first donation during that time and have maintained my membership with this wonderful organization. I checked them out and realized that they are a NO-KILL shelter! At the time, I didn't know those existed. Many of the other organizations euthanize animals instead of trying to find them homes and give them medical care.
Best Friends has the most compassionate caregivers to the animals. They are loving, caring, and selfless. Everyone I have ever had any contact with has been extremely nice, helpful, and patient. God bless them all....
Although I am disabled and unable to help physically, I try to send money as often as I can and have even give memberships as gifts. In my opinion, they are simply the BEST!

Best Friends saves the unwanted, the helpless, the hopeless. They were instrumental in helping and saving many of the dogs involved in Michael Vick's dogfighting case. They go to areas in crisis such as New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and overseas in wartorn areas and earthquake areas to help people and animals. They promote TNR for community cats to help control feral populations

Top notch, well run organization that places it's entire focus on caring for animals in need. Highly trained staff who love their jobs. Plus they work with animals with behavioral issues so they can find homes. Also provide sanctuary to animals that can't be placed. They serve as a model for all other animal organizations. I've been a donor for years a d will continue to be one.
