Salt Lake City Pet Adoption Center Grand Opening

A new chapter in the longstanding public-private partnership between Best Friends Animal Society and the Greater Sat Lake City-area community began with a leash-cutting ceremony at the new Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Sugar House on Saturday, July 13th. Festivities also included speeches from local politicians, tours, a tasty buffet and lots of great adoptable animals.

The new center, which is part of a trend to take adoptable shelter animals into retail environments, will feature adoptable dogs and cats from Best Friends and local area shelter partners. The center will also be a fountain of information for pet lovers, including resources for free or low-cost spay/neuter services and informational supports for those who care for community cats, including vouchers and trap rentals.

Best Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit organization building no-kill programs and partnerships that will bring about a day when there are No More Homeless Pets®. At the core of Best Friends' work is the dream that one day kindness will replace cruelty and animals will no longer be destroyed because they are unwanted or imperfect. Spaying and neutering will be the rule for all pets and adoption will be the first option for everyone. Making this dream a reality is the mission we call No More Homeless Pets. The society's leading initiatives in animal care and community programs are coordinated from its Kanab, Utah, headquarters, the country's largest no-kill sanctuary. This work is made possible by the personal and financial support of a grassroots network of supporters and community partners across the nation. For more information, visit .
