Best Friends Animal Society
Best
Friends Animal Society is guided by a simple philosophy: kindness to
animals builds a better world for all of us.
In the late 1980s, when Best Friends was in its early days, roughly
17 million dogs and cats
were being killed in shelters every year. Despite the commitment of
shelter workers to the animals
in their care, the conventional belief was that little could be done
to lower that terrible number.

In 2000, leaders from 189 nations signed on to the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight ambitious targets designed
to significantly reduce global poverty and disease by 2015. By
setting time-bound, measurable targets for achieving results in
areas like child and maternal health, education and access to water
and sanitation, they injected new momentum into the fight against
global poverty.
