Animal shelter heroes, this conference is for you! Join us at Best Friends Animal Society’s National Conference July 11-13 in Orlando! Team MFA will be presenting and sharing research about pet-inclusive housing and return-to-home practices. Say hi to our team, gain insights, and register today at bestfriends.org/conference.
Today, the Austin Animal Services Office launched a community survey to gather feedback on what #ATX prioritizes for our animals.
At APA!, we know that our community prioritizes lifesaving, we wouldn’t be the organization we are today if this weren’t true.
Austin, we have an URGENT ask of you. Please click the link below to fill out the survey TODAY. The survey should take less than 10 minutes of your time. Let your voice be heard. To deprioritize animal lifesaving would be taking Austin 13 years backwards!
Our city is at high risk of implementing programming that kills because it’s easier and cheaper.
Austin, we demand better. Help us help Austin to keep moving forward.

🚫🚫 Darling Ingredients is trying to reopen its animal rendering facility in the Port of Tacoma. This is the same facility that engulfed Tacoma in a putrid odor for days in 2019 and was closed by a large fire in 2022. 🚫🔥
The Port of Tacoma has the opportunity to deny Darling's lease, so now is the time to come together to voice your concerns and opposition to animal rendering operations near our communities!

When choosing an animal design for a keepsake, it can be helpful to consider the symbolism of the animal. Ultimately, the best way to choose an animal design is to choose an animal that you feel represents your loved one's personality, qualities, or beliefs. The bear is a popular choice for keepsake bears because it is seen as a symbol of strength, protection, and motherhood. However, there are many other animals that can be used to create a meaningful and unique keepsake.
If you are looking for a unique and meaningful way to remember a loved one, consider Tracy's Treasured Keepsakes. We can help you choose the perfect animal design and create a keepsake that will become a prized family heirloom.

#AnimalsLove#
Animal remind us that true compassion transcends all differences, teaching us that Love and Kindness Have No BOUNDARIES. Let's learn from them and spread this universal love.
—Whether it's a gesture of kindness to a stray or a commitment to protect wildlife, every act of compassion towards animals strengthens our collective spirit.
—As professionals, we have the power to lead initiatives that support animal welfare, and in doing so, we set a powerful example of empathy and understanding in our communities.
—Let's channel our efforts to create safe spaces for all creatures and learn from the simplicity with which animals offer affection.
—By extending our circle of compassion to include all living beings, we enrich our lives and contribute to a more inclusive and loving world.
—We often look to nature and the animal kingdom for wisdom, observing that creatures of all kinds form bonds and show affection regardless of differences.
—We, as humans, can learn from this instinctive understanding of love. It's a reminder that in the simplicity of love, there is a profound truth: it's meant to unite us.

Here’s a reality check for you today on Adopt a Shelter Pet Day...
Did you know that dog and cat adoption rates have plummeted over the last five years, leading to an alarming increase in the unnecessary killing of adoptable pets?
According to Best Friends data, in 2023, adoption numbers were down by more than 300,000 from 2019, which resulted in over 400,000 pets not finding homes.
There’s a very simple solution to the problem and achieving a no-kill animal shelter system in the U.S. — if just 6% more Americans adopt instead of shop, we can end the killing of healthy shelter pets due to overcrowding.
If you are in New York today, try to stop by Times Square for a unique pop-up event where you can meet and adopt your new best friend in a living room setting. Thanks to the generous support of Blue Buffalo and Walmart, all adoption fees at Best Friends locations are waived during May and June.
It’s very simple to take action now—adopt, donate, or become an advocate. Together with Best Friends, we can help transform the lives of thousands of pets waiting for a chance at a loving home. I highly recommend taking a break today and visiting bfas.org/home to learn more about the 'Bring Love Home' campaign and discover how you can be part of this vital movement.
