DELRAY BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) APRIL 30, 2020
Around 2,200 homeless pets are killed in shelters across the United States each day. 1-800-PetMeds® is supporting Best Friends’ mission to end that by helping to provide veterinary services, community education, and other resources to help more animals find their forever homes.
Best Friends is the only national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. A leader in the no-kill movement, Best Friends runs the nation’s largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals, adoption centers and spay and neuter facilities in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City as well as lifesaving programs in partnership with more than 1,400 rescue groups and shelters across the country.
