Best Friends Animal Society National Adoption Weekend!


  • San Antonio, TX USA (map)

Footbridge Foundation is partnering with Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization working to make every shelter and every community no-kill by 2025, for the sixth National Adoption Weekend happening September 15-17!

No-kill means saving every dog or cat in a shelter who can be saved. A key component of achieving no-kill is collaborative partnerships like National Adoption Weekend to help get animals adopted and save more lives.

Best Friends Animal Society, and more than 500 shelter and rescue partners have joined together for the national event to help alleviate overcapacity issues shelters across the country are facing. By adopting a dog or cat looking for a loving home, two lives are saved – that of the adopted pet, and another that can now take their space in the shelter.

Individuals can help save lives by adopting from local shelters or rescue groups like Footbridge Foundation, instead of purchasing from a breeder or store.

Head over to our cat section and/or our dog section to see your new best friend!
