Best Friends works hard to get every animal in our care into a foster home while they wait for adoption. The psychological benefits that homeless animals get from foster care cannot be overstated. Due to the number of animals who enter our program, we need help getting supplies ready to send home with foster caregivers, as well as getting some treatments and other supplies ready for the day. The foster supply prep volunteers will enhance our lifesaving capacity by allowing our staff to help foster caregivers quickly and efficiently, giving us more time to focus on the animals.
Essential Duties and Functions
Keep foster shelves stocked and organized
Prepare foster kits for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies as needed
Prepare standard medical treatments such as enemas and calorie supplements
Advanced volunteers may help with drawing up vaccines and preparing medications
Additional volunteer opportunities at Best Friends allow volunteers to work hands-on with the animals after volunteers have attended special classes and trainings . Check out utah.bestfriends.org/volunteer for more information. Join us today!

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!
