Form 990, Part III, Line 4bLeading the no-kill movement: In fiscal year 2025, Best Friends collaborated with more than 5,500 shelters, rescue groups, and other animal welfare organizations across all 50 states through the Best Friends Network, which grew by 705 partner organizations during the year. Network partners received mentorship, training, grants, and other lifesaving resources. In total, we provided over $15 million in funding to 1,076 organizations. Best Friends continued to build and maintain the nation's most comprehensive animal sheltering dataset, providing key insights and analytics from more than 10,000 shelters and rescue groups across the U.S. Through tools such as the pet lifesaving dashboard and the Shelter Pet Data Alliance, this data was made accessible and transparent, enabling shelters to track trends, make informed decisions, and improve outcomes. Through our national shelter support programs, Best Friends worked directly with shelters nationwide to strengthen animal care, lifesaving programs, operations, shelter medicine, and community engagement. In fiscal year 2025, Best Friends held 82 training sessions, reaching 955 shelter staff members and volunteers. We also provided assessments, mentorship, grants, and on-the-ground support by embedding staff directly in shelters to help them save more lives. Through our shelter collaborative program, Best Friends paired high-performing no-kill organizations with shelters working toward no-kill, a model that multiplies impact. In fiscal year 2025, 92 shelters participated in the program at some point, receiving mentorship, operational support, data analysis, and hands-on assistance. Best Friends continued its partnership with Southern Utah University to expand education and career pathways in animal services. In fiscal year 2025, 247 individuals completed Best Friends certification or degree programs, currently the only offerings of their kind in the U.S. The 2025 Best Friends National Conference, held in Palm Springs, California, brought together 1,345 animal welfare professionals and advocates from 47 states across the U.S. and four other countries to share knowledge and explore the latest in lifesaving strategies. In celebration of National Pet Month in May, Best Friends partnered with Walmart as its for-good nonprofit partner, amplifying the pet adoption message in 2,000 stores nationwide. Eleven brands supported the effort, including Blue Buffalo, which sponsored adoptions all month and helped 1,694 dogs and cats from Best Friends and local shelters find homes. On the legislative front, Best Friends helped secure 62 advocacy wins across 25 st ates in fiscal year 2025, addressing issues like breed-specific laws, puppy mills, and community cat policies. These efforts were backed by the Best Friends Action Team, a grassroots volunteer network of more than 200,000 advocates who contacted lawmakers, gathered over 12,000 petition signatures, and advanced pet-friendly policies nationwide. In addition, 14,011 volunteers contributed 515,511 hours across all Best Friends programs in fiscal year 2025, helping to drive our mission forward and support lifesaving throughout the country. Together with partners, advocates, volunteers, and supporters, Best Friends saved thousands of lives and made meaningful, measurable progress toward no-kill nationwide. By the end of fiscal year 2025, approximately 67% of U.S. shelters were operating at or above the no-kill benchmark of a 90% save rate. We believe that by working together, we can Save Them All.
