No More Homeless Pets in Utah, began in July of 2000 thanks to a generous five-year grant from Maddie's Fund, The Pet Rescue Foundation. During those five years Best Friends Animal Society acted as No More Homeless Pets in Utah's parent organization. Now, a fully independent, non-profit 501c3 organization, the organization fulfills its mission by placing a strong emphasis on increasing the numbers of spay/neuters and adoptions throughout the state. We also focus heavily on collaborating with other Utah shelters, rescue groups, veterinarians, and local governments to implement non-lethal pet-overpopulation tactics.
