Saving Lives of All Adoptable Shelter Animals is 2025 Goal of Best Friends Animal Society
Best Friends Animal Society is holding "Bring No-Kill Home Summits" around the country as it strives to reach an ambitious goal: end the killing of adoptable shelter animals in 2025.
For decades, millions of healthy, adoptable animals were euthanized in shelters every year when the facilities ran out of space. Best Friends made a commitment in 2016 (when their statistics showed about two million deaths) to work towards ending that practice by 2025. At the summits, members of the animal welfare community learn innovative techniques to help them save more lives.
Marc Peralta, chief program officer at Best Friends, talks about the heavy toll killing shelter animals takes on the people who joined the field looking to help. He says it is inspiring and fulfilling to work in a lifesaving movement as it moves closer to its goal.
Best Friends started as a sanctuary for unwanted animals in Utah in 1984.
For more than 15 years, "Still Time for Joy" host Sandra Levine produced popular television programs about animal welfare and adoption—including “Homeless Tails”— for NJN, formerly New Jersey's PBS station.
