Animal Welfare Professionals

The Lifesaving Resiliency Grants are a new award Best Friends created to share our appreciation for Best Friends Network partners after an especially challenging year. We originally were going to award four partners $5,000 each. #ThanksToMaddie, we were able to double the grants and award eight partners. But after reading all your inspiring submissions, we added an additional four for a total of 12 winners receiving a $5,000 grant each!

Here are the recipients:

• Companion Animal Alliance in Louisiana
• Dane County Humane Society in Wisconsin
• Forsyth Humane Society in North Carolina
• Franklin County Animal Services in North Carolina
• Friends of Arlington Animal Services in Texas
• Humane Society of Western Montana
• It Takes A Village No-Kill Rescue in Indiana
• LifeLine Animal Project in Georgia
• Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Virginia
• Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary, Inc. in New York
• Secondhand Hounds in Minnesota
• Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab in Utah

View their stories of positive change and resiliency on the Best Friends Network website. Thank you to everyone who shared their story with us. You truly inspire us at Best Friends, Maddie's Fund and your other network partners with your lifesaving work.
