My mother just passed away and I had all friends and family that would have sent flowers or contributions send the money to Best Friends. My mother was a longtime contributor. When my Grandmother passed away Best Friends took her cherished Mare. My mother loved this place like family.

Thank you so much for sharing. You are so kind to have those close to her donate in her name.

Are you aware of BFAS satanic roots?

[@stevewheeler6920]

So very touching, I was moved by your story. How beautiful of them to take in her mare. I just recently discovered best friends and I've been moved beyond belief. I want to spend the rest of my time on earth at best friends in some way with all my heart I want to be part of it.

I would love to work with animals but I can't move to another state at this time. Maybe once I pay my car off and save money for moving. Of course, my two cats will obviously be moving too. I've been working in the health care for over 20 years and I always told everyone that if I changed careers it would be to work with the animals. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🙏!!!

[@dronetrunks]

I hope to do the same here one day. The SPCA in Johannesburg isn't ideal for cats - they do try their best to shelter and find homes for dogs though.

Hi Judith, thank you for contacting Best Friends Animal Society and for your concern for the animals in Ukraine. We are thankful for the people like you, who are dedicated to the care and protection of animals in need. Our rescue efforts do not extend beyond the continental U.S. Best Friends is laser focused on saving the more than 347,000 dogs and cats killed in American shelters each year with a target goal to achieve this by 2025. We realize there are many animals in need internationally, however, our outreach programs are based on the resources we have available to be effective in our ongoing commitment to end shelter killing in the states. We are grateful there are organizations whose focus is helping animals internationally that you might consider contacting to see if they can provide you with more information, or have resources available about how you can help: Below are some international groups working to help in Ukraine and provide updates and information about how folks can help. UAnimals Sirius Casa lui Patrocle Shelter Ugolyok Happy Paw We hope this information will be of some help. Thank you for caring about animals in Ukraine and for everything you are doing to help.

As long as they allow all the puppy mills and backyard breeders it will never stop!!! So we never be able to save them all! We need to stop unwanted breeding! Thanks for trying!

[@challloyd215]

Don't be fooled by this place. I don't think much money goes towards "saving them all". When I had to surrender two cats, they euthanized them. And don't apply for a job. You do two weeks "trial", do EVERYTHING, and you don't get hired. Just a bunch of users. And you are supposed to report if an animal needs medical care but they don't do ANYTHING. And when a friend of mine wanted to adopt, believe me, you need, literally, a note from God, so don't fall in love. They also make you, when they DO approve you, adopt TWO because they have"bonded". I'm sorry, but ONE cockatoo would have been enough! They really have people fooled and that's ashame. People like this are always in control of "saving" animals, but it doesn't feel or appear the ANIMALS really are loved and taken great care of by this type of person. Imagine animal control.
