Best Friends Animal Society’s goal is to make shelters no-kill by 2025.

“No-kill means saving every dog or cat in a shelter who can be saved,” Best Friends Animal Society CEO Julie Castle said. “It’s up to communities to step up and adopt dogs and cats in need to help make the country no-kill. National Adoption Weekend is a way for people to show their support, make a difference, and save a life.”
