BEST FRIENDS
ANIMAL SOCIETY
Last year, hundreds of thousands of loving dogs and cats were killed in shelters like the ones here in Utah just because they didn’t have a safe place to call home.
But you can change that. Best Friends Animal Society in Salt Lake City, is working collaboratively with animal rescue groups, city shelters and passionate individuals dedicated to making Utah a no-kill state.
With that goal in mind, we run a lifesaving center in Salt Lake City, and lead NKUT (No-Kill Utah). Our lifesaving center is foster-based and takes in over 2,500 animals each year, including neonatal kittens, dogs and cats, and provides resources to the community.
Working together, we'll make Utah — and the entire country — no-kill by 2025.
HUMANE SOCIETY
OF UTAH
The Humane Society of Utah is dedicated to the elimination of pain, fear, and suffering in all animals. Our goal is to keep pets and people together, bring them together, and help move each animal to their most appropriate outcome as quickly as possible.
The Humane Society of Utah is a private 501(c)3 nonprofit animal welfare organization. We rely solely upon funding from individuals, foundations, and businesses. We receive no local, state, or federal funding support.
Founded in 1960, the Humane Society of Utah is the largest open-admission animal welfare organization in the state. We welcome any companion animal that can be legally admitted and work to find each animal in our care a loving home.
The Humane Society of Utah does not euthanize any healthy or treatable animal in our care and exceeds nationally accepted no-kill standards. Our approach at all times is to find the best, most humane outcome for the animals in our care and create an environment of respect, responsibility, and compassion through our programs, advocacy, and education.

COMMUNITY ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY
CAWS is a no-kill, volunteer, and foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to work with the community to help animals. As Utah’s oldest animal rescue group, our ongoing rescue, foster, education, and adoption programs help animals whose time is up at shelters, those who are abandoned, and as our resources allow, those whom their owners can no longer keep.
We are committed to saving the animals that are often overlooked and under-appreciated at local shelters; this includes, the sick, injured, senior, and neonatal kittens, and their mothers. CAWS is dedicated to helping those special needs animals to find their forever homes.
Our rescue and adoption process is sustainable, innovative, and effective. We have rescued and adopted over one thousand dogs and cats from shelters throughout the state of Utah every year since 2015.

UTAH FRIENDS OF BASSET HOUNDS
Utah Friends of Basset Hounds, Inc., a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity, is a basset hound rescue group who provides veterinary care, food, shelter and support to basset hounds needing assistance in Utah. They treat these animals with care and respect. UFBH makes decisions based on compassion and with concern for the quality of life of each individual basset hound. They place basset hounds in their care into foster homes and permanent homes with consideration to personality, behavior, and special needs. They provide continuing support to adoptive families throughout the lifetime of the dogs.
We work in direct cooperation with all local and state shelters to reduce euthanasia of Basset Hounds. Of the Bassets we rescue and care for, approximately 40% come from these shelters. The other 60% of our Bassets are surrendered by their current owners directly into UFBH care. By taking in Bassets surrendered by their owners, UFBH helps ease the burden on our local animal shelters by preventing those Bassets from ever entering the animal shelter system.
