Best Friends Animal Rescue has been developed by one local young woman, whose goal is to help save the lives of the animals.

Best Friend Animal Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer dog rescue organization serving the Bryan County area. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless for whatever reason – dogs in public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect.

We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives.

Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.

Finally, we strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.

We believe in the need to decrease the amount of unwanted animals in this county and it starts with spay/neuter.Spaying and neutering helps cats and dogs live healthier, longer lives. Animals that are sterilized are less likely to stray and be lost from their owner, thereby reducing the risk of getting into fights, being injured and reproducing without control. There is virtually no limit to the number of litters dogs and cats can produce: One female cat and her brood can produce 420,000 offspring within seven years, while one female dog and her young can produce 67,000 offspring in that same time frame. The only solution is to increase sterilization of dogs and cats, and BFAR is ready.
