The mission of Best Friends Animal Society is to bring about a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. We do this by helping end the killing in America's animal shelters through building community programs and partnerships all across the nation. We believe that by working together we can Save Them All.

The problem of homeless pets is not a national problem, though; it is actually thousands of local problems. In order to create lasting change to help these animals, every community in the country must plan and execute its own solution. Best Friends is a resource for those communities, providing indirect support with strategies, information, and resources, as well as direct lifesaving assistance.

Here in Salt Lake City, Best Friends operates a Lifesaving Center in the Sugarhouse neighborhood, where we provide this assistance to shelters across the northern part of Utah and other Mountain West states. We provide pet food assistance to community cat caregivers and low-income pet owners to keep these animals out of shelters. We pull cats and dogs from overcrowded shelters that can't care for them and either transport them to other parts of the country where more resources exist, or find them foster homes here in Salt Lake until the day they get adopted. We provide low cost spay and neuter services to shelters and rescue groups to curb the number of unwanted litters.

As a Best Friends volunteer, you can play a role in increasing the number of positive outcomes for shelter pets right here in Utah. Tasks as simple as helping to clean and sanitize animal holding areas helps increase the number of cats and dogs we can take in. You can volunteer to drive animals to the places they need to go, or help distribute food in our Pet Food Pantry. And perhaps most importantly, you can become a foster caregiver to give a cat or dog the compassionate care and attention they deserve as they wait to find their Forever Home.

With your help we can Save Them All!

Working together, we can inspire courage and ignite change to create kinder, more inclusive communities for every child’s tomorrow.

Volunteers are the heart of Kids on the Move! Whether in the office, caring for children, or helping with special events, our work here at KOTM would be impossible without the thousands of volunteers who donate their time and talents to furthering our mission.

Here at KOTM, we inspire courage and ignite change, but none of it would be possible without the dedication and passion of our volunteers.

The mission of The INN Between is to end the tragedy of vulnerable people dying on the streets of our community by providing medical respite and end-of-life care to those experiencing homelessness. Prior to The INN Between, no adequate solution existed for housing terminally ill and medically frail homeless people, resulting in an average of 50 deaths on Salt Lake area streets annually. Today, those numbers are higher. The need for this work is critical. We adhere to the hospice philosophy of providing care for the sick, especially the terminally ill, and treating the whole person by providing support for his or her emotional, social, and spiritual needs, not simply the medical symptoms. The INN Between is not a licensed hospice or medical provider–our home is the critical missing link for individuals who don't have access to hospice or medical care simply because they lack housing.

The medical community is focused on the Social Determinants of Health, which center on safe housing, basic needs, and access to healthcare as the foundation for overall population health. The INN Between ensures that individuals experiencing homelessness have access to safe housing, basic needs, and critical healthcare so that no individuals are left to suffer or die on the streets of our community.

As the only medical respite and end-of-life care facility for people experiencing homelessness in the greater Salt Lake area, The INN Between plays an important role in our community. We could not do this work alone, and we rely on our collaborative relationships with other homeless service agencies to ensure that vulnerable individuals are safely and appropriately placed.
