Best Friends in Utah is currently recruiting safe drivers to assist with all of our transport needs! These needs include transporting dogs and cats from our Lifesaving Center to veterinary appointments, picking up and/or delivering supplies (pet food, cat shelters, etc.) to partners and patrons, and transporting groups of animals between shelters. Some needs are local to Salt Lake and can be completed in your own vehicle. Other trips require you to be certified to drive our cargo vans and can involve interstate travel and overnight stays.
Volunteers will need to have a clean driving record, valid driver license, proof of insurance, and be comfortable driving large vehicles in all weather.

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!
