NKUT Super Adoption is a cooperative effort in which shelters and rescue groups come together in a free, fun, festival-like atmosphere to find homes for hundreds of animals during a weekend. More than 800 adoptable animals will be featured from 15+ shelters and rescue groups, each committed to making Utah a no-kill state for cats and dogs.
We need lots of volunteers to help us tear down the event on Sunday, November 4th, and lots more to fill shifts during the event to make sure it runs smoothly. We provide lunch and snacks for most volunteer shifts, a Best Friends Volunteer t-shirt, and during the event days you'll be around lots of great animals. You'll be able to walk away knowing that you helped save their lives, and the lives of so many other animals in shelters!
Volunteers will need to create an account at volunteers.bestfriends.org and sign up for a shift on the BFAS-UT: Super Adoption calendar. The system will walk you through the steps, it's quick and easy!

Mission Statement
The mission of Best Friends is to end the killing in America's animal shelters and create a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. We do this by building community programs and partnerships all across the nation. We believe that by working together we can Save Them All.
Description
Best Friends Animal Society in Utah works collaboratively with animal rescue groups, city shelters and passionate individuals who are all dedicated to the mission of making Utah a no-kill state. The Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Sugarhouse provides adoptions, animal fostering opportunities, and serves as a base of operations for our community cat and shelter support programs. Volunteers help us achieve our goals in many ways, including fostering animals in their own homes, distributing food in our Pet Food Pantry, keeping our center clean and healthy for the animals, spreading our message to the community at outreach events, and driving animals to where they need to go.
Best Friends Animal Society is a nationwide leader in the No-Kill movement. Founded on the idea that no animals should have to die in shelters while resources exist to help them, our organization began with the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT, the world's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. Our focus on a better world through kindness to animals has led to a variety of programs, including efforts to end breed-discriminatory legislation and unethical "puppy-mill" breeding operations, advocacy of Trap-Neuter-Return programs for community cats, and rescue transports to help animals in overcrowded shelters find homes. We believe that together we can Save Them All!
