Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles is working collaboratively with animal rescue groups, city shelters and passionate individuals who are all dedicated to the mission of making Los Angeles a no-kill city. As part of this mission, Best Friends hosts adoption and fundraising events, runs the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Mission Hills, and leads the NKLA (No-kill Los Angeles) initiative.
So, you're ready to adopt your new best friend. Great! Here are a few important things to know about our adoption process: All adopters must be 18 years of age or older and must present valid/current government-issued identification at the time of adoption. Prior to adopting a dog or cat from Best Friends, adopters will need the knowledge and consent of their landlord. Before visiting either the Best Friends Lifesaving Center or NKLA Pet Adoption Center, save time and complete our adoption survey so when you visit our center the adoption process is already underway! Most importantly, all adopters must be willing and able to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and proper care for their new pet. Note: For long distance adoptions, adopter must visit the pet in person at our center and coordinate pet's transportation at their own cost.
