One of the most effective ways to reduce the number of pets entering shelters is by reducing the number of unwanted litters. Providing low-cost spay and neuter surgeries is essential to ensuring that no animals have to die in shelters because they can't find a safe home. This volunteer opportunity works alongside the veterinary team at the Best Friends Spay and Neuter Clinic in Orem, UT to provide this essential service to dozens of needy animals every day.
Volunteers in this role will typically start out helping to clean and sanitize surgical instruments and kennels to maintain an immaculately clean environment for animals undergoing surgery. As volunteers build their skills, they may be able to take on additional roles according to their individual abilities.

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!
