Save a life: Adopt a pet

By choosing to adopt a pet from a shelter, you are saving a life. Plus, no matter what type of dog or cat you’re looking for, you’re sure to find your new best friend at a shelter, where there are wonderful pets of every breed, size and age. You can also adopt from the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Salt Lake City. Each pet at the center comes from a Utah shelter or our Kitten Nursery and is vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped before going to a new home.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OUR ADOPTABLE DOGS LIST: The dogs on our site are those in our foster program, so you may see very few or even no dogs listed. That does not mean our adoption center is empty or that no dogs are available! The dogs come to our center each day from our shelter partners at Salt Lake County, West Valley City and Davis County. They are only here while we are open, so we are unable to change their status to display their availability on our site. The best option for viewing our dogs is to drop by. You can also usePetfinder.com to search adoptable dogs available from our shelter and rescue partners.
