Best Friends East Coast Lifesaving Program works collaboratively with city shelters, local animal welfare organizations and passionate individuals to save the lives of pets in shelters across the East Coast.

We strive to have an open adoption process. We may have an adoption fee but we will also host fee-waived adoptions. We will have a short adoption contract that the person will sign. Best Friends commits to the pets for life, meaning when we adopt out a pet we always have our organization's contact on the microchip, in addition to the adopter's contact info. We will always take a pet back into our care if needed. For requirements, the adopter must be over 18 years old.
