Get ready for the sweetest video you have ever seen. 🥹 This is Eugene. And as you can see, he was VERY happy to see his previous foster mom when she came to pick him up at our Best Friends Pet Resource Center in Northwest Arkansas! We think Eugene's smile says it all. 🥰

When Lisa faced surrendering Eddie because of housing, a Best Friends intake-diversion grant helped create a path to keep them together. Then the community rallied around them. 🫶 @Hoodline hoodline.com/2026/09/spruce-…

A memorial doesn’t have to be grand. It can be a photo on your wall, favorite toy, a story shared with someone who loved them. A stone, wind chime or other keepsake. What matters is that it reflects the love you shared. 🐾 #PetMemorialMonth #PetMemorial

One shelter is making a HUGE difference for cats in Central Florida. Orange County Animal Services saved 7,191 cats in 12 months. That's more than 99% of U.S. shelters! 🐱👏 @theapopkavoice theapopkavoice.com/stories/n…

(1/3) Mary went to Best Friends after losing her bird Juniper & came home with Sugar. But she couldn’t stop asking about Beau, a military macaw who’d lost his companion too. Even her vet told her, “You really should go get that other bird.” So, three months later she did. 🧡

(2/3) Between the two of them Mary says she has what she's been missing. “When I need those cuddles I’ve got Sugar, and when I need a laugh I’ve got my Beau.”

There’s no schedule for missing your pet. Some days may feel lighter than others. A photo, a familiar place or a favorite toy can bring the feelings rushing back. Be gentle with yourself. Your grief reflects how deeply you loved. ❤️ #PetMemorialMonth #PetLoss #GriefSupport

Best Friends staff member Jill first met Nosh after the tiny kitten arrived at the Sanctuary with feline panleukopenia. She stepped up to foster her through recovery...then fell in love and made it official. Nosh is now healthy and home for good! #WhereAreTheyNow 🧡

When Dune was adopted her owners say she was timid and still figuring out her new world. But these days? This goofy girl is exploring the Bay Area, playing with her doggy pals & charming the neighbors. Every day her personality keeps growing. #WhereAreTheyNow

As the Spokane wildfires threatened Donna's home, her dog Shadow alerted her to the danger and helped save her life. 🧡 After Donna was injured and unable to care for him, Best Friends Animal Society staff and volunteers stepped in to help Shadow recover.
