🐾Best Friend

We measure what works. Analytics tell us how to make this spread further and get more dogs home, faster. Thank you for being part of that. What we collect

For the ones still waiting.

Empty kennels.
Everywhere.

We don’t need your money.Just help us get the word out.

Help a neighbor find their best friend.

We’re working toward local awareness campaigns in every market, so more animal lovers find the pets waiting nearby. Empty kennels are the goal. Sharing is where we start.

  1. Share with someone nearby.

    Send Best Friend to an animal lover in your life. Our next adopter could be someone they know.

  2. Find the pets close to home.

    We point interested neighbors to Petfinder listings, where they can look for pets in their area.

  3. Meet the shelter. Make the connection.

    From a listing, contact the shelter or rescue about availability and adoption.

You can be the spark.

Why a text can empty a kennel

Shelters fill up when the right people never hear about the animals waiting.

The person who’ll take one home is probably a friend or two away from you, and they just haven’t seen this yet.

Send it to 2 people. If they each send it to 2, and it keeps going, 10 rounds reaches 2,046 people (we did the math 🐾).

One of them says yes. One kennel empties. Who are your two?

Cashew has a small favor

Someone you know could help a dog find home.

Send this to at least two animal lovers.

Cashew's note, ready to send

Hey, you came to mind. We're helping more shelter dogs get home, and Best Friend asks us to pass this to at least two animal lovers. Will you take a look? 🐾
