Best Friends Animal Society

Hello, this is my emotional support animal, his name is Tobey. I've had Tobey since he was 6 weeks old, and he is now 2 years old. About 1 year ago, Tobey, out of the blue, had his first seizure, and I was devastated. I've done everything to get him better. The thought of something happening to him, I couldn't handle that. So, for the last year, I've taken him to all his appointments and kept him up to date on his shots, but it's very expensive. Every 6 months, he has to have blood work done, and that one visit costs me $200-$250, plus his medicine every month. But I have no money now. I'm disabled and trying to get SSD and have been for 2 years, so if anybody reads my story and can find it in their heart to help me, I would be so grateful. I can't lose him; he's truly my best friend.

This fundraiser is for Best Friends Animal Society https://bestfriends.org/ in honor of Spottie, our beloved dachshund and family member for 14 years. He passed away a year ago, and I can’t think of a better way to honor him. Here is a video we put together:

We’ve mainly had adopted or rescued pets throughout our lives. We’ve personally visited the Best Friends Sanctuary and seen what they do for rescued animals, the love they give all animals, and the influence they have had for “No Kill” all over the USA. We can’t think of a better way to honor Spottie.

Please contribute any amount if you can. I know it will make a difference.

Love, Rob Owen and Jacque Milano

The Best Friends story

Back in 1984, a scrappy group of friends from far corners of the globe settled in a remote area of Utah’s high desert … and took the first steps to forever changing the future for pets in shelters.

It’s the story of Best Friends, but it’s much more than the history of a spot on the map. This group of ordinary but passionate people believed that every pet has a story, too — each one worth saving, each life individual and important. Today, four decades after they broke ground for a sanctuary in a remote region of the Southwest, achieving no-kill across the entire country is within reach.

Help Us Glam for Good: Beauty School Dream + Animal Rescue Mission ✨

Hi everyone! We’re Remy and Jaidan two passionate beauty students with a big dream and even bigger hearts.

We’ve been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to earn an all-expenses-paid trip to Beverly Hills through our beauty school, where we’ll get to tour top salons, meet industry icons, and take the next step in building our careers. But there’s one catch—we need to be among the first 100 students to raise $3,000 to secure our spot.

This isn’t just about glam and opportunity—it’s also about giving back.

We’ve decided to tie our dream to a cause we deeply care about: Best Friends Animal Society, a national nonprofit working to end the killing of pets in shelters by 2025. Everything raised will go directly to helping animals find love, care, and forever homes.

✨ By donating, you’re helping us chase our dreams and save our beautiful animals from the evil in this world.

Whether it’s $5, $20, or simply sharing this page, your support means the world to us—and to the animals we’re fighting for.

Let’s glam up, give back, and get to Beverly Hills together.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

Remy & Jaidan

This year, for my birthday, I’m asking for something a little different. I want to support Best Friends Animal Society, an organization that is truly close to my heart. I've always admired their dedication to animal welfare, and I believe together we can make a significant impact in the lives of countless animals in need. Best Friends is also working in support of the families with pets and livestock effected by the floods in Texas who are in need of help.

Best Friends Animal Society is working tirelessly to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters by 2025. Their transformative work has already saved millions of lives, but there’s still so much to do. Your support helps Best Friends make a difference by contributing towards efforts like:

On my special day, I invite you to join me in celebrating by donating to this incredible cause. Together, we can help save them all and create a brighter future for our furry friends. Thank you for your generosity! All money will be sent to verified non profit Best friends Animal Society.

Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted animal lovers,

My name is Marisha Jenson, and I’m writing this with a heart full of both sadness and deep gratitude. Recently, I said goodbye to two of the greatest blessings in my life—my beloved dogs, Shelby and Ava.

Shelby and Ava weren’t just pets. They were my companions, protectors, comedians, and constant sources of love through every season of life. They offered me unconditional loyalty, joy, and comfort in ways I could never fully put into words. They were each other’s best friend too—two beautiful souls who filled my home with warmth, laughter, and a love that felt endless.

As I planned their Celebration of Life, I realized the most powerful way to honor their memory is to give back—to continue their legacy of love by helping animals who still need a chance at the life Shelby and Ava were blessed with.

I’ve created this GoFundMe in memory of my girls to raise donations for local animal shelters and rescue organizations in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. 100% of the proceeds will go toward:

• Providing food, blankets, and toys for shelter pets

• Supporting medical care and vaccinations for rescue animals

• Funding spay/neuter programs to reduce suffering

• Offering second chances to homeless and abused animals

Shelby and Ava taught me that every animal deserves to be seen, loved, and safe. With your help, their spirit can continue to touch the lives of other animals and the people who will love them.

If you’ve ever been moved by the bond between a person and their pet, or if you knew Shelby and Ava and the joy they brought to others, I invite you to contribute in their honor.

Even if you can't donate, sharing this page or simply spreading awareness about local shelters can help make a difference.

Thank you for reading, thank you for loving animals, and thank you for keeping the memory of my girls alive.

With all my heart,

Marisha Jenson

For Shelby & Ava – Forever Loved, Forever Remembered

My daughter, Ripley is doing a community service project as part of her upcoming Bnai Mitzvah in May. She is looking to support Best Friends Animal Shelter. Best Friends is a no kill shelter that was started in Kanab, Utah. They also have a location in Salt Lake City at which Ripley will be doing in person volunteer work. They also have several other locations throughout the country.

Hi, my name is Henry. I'm 10 years old, I'm from New York, and I love dogs, other animals and drawing.

After hurricanes Helene and Milton – and now the fires near LA - countless pets have been separated from their families. Animal shelters are overcrowded.

If you donate at least $15 and if you have a dog or any other pet, I will draw the pet and donate the money to: Best Friends Animal Society.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Editor's Note (from his Dad):

We've raised $1,500 for Lucky Dog Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter located in South Carolina helping dogs and cats impacted by the recent hurricanes and we would love to do the same for Best Friends Animal Society.

Best Friends Animal Society is a 501(c)(3) non profit with a 97% score and four-star (top) rating from Charity Navigator. They are a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. They have a NYC-based adoption center and an emergency response team on the ground in LA supporting local animal welfare orgs while ensuring the safety of their pets/staff in their West LA adaption center.

I'm asking for donations to Best Friends Animal Society. Every dollar helps provide shelter, food, and medical care for homeless animals. Your generosity will give abandoned pets a second chance at finding loving homes. Let's celebrate my Bat Mitzvah by making a difference in the lives of animals in need.

Right now, Best Friends’ emergency response team is on the ground in Los Angeles, supporting local animal welfare organizations while ensuring the safety of the pets and staff at the West L.A. Pet Adoption Center.

Best Friends Animal Society is working around-the-clock to respond to pleas for help from shelters in the affected areas, even as they work to ensure the safety of their staff and the pets in their care at the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in West L.A. They’re a “whatever it takes” organization and they will do whatever it takes to help those in the city.

What they do:

• Best Friends Pet Adoption Center

• Los Angeles FIRE Evacuation Animal Services Hotline

• Evacuating with pets support

• Fostering community for owned pets

Whether it’s saving lives, supporting one another, or making the impossible possible, they’re here for the long run to support the victims of the fires.
