Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles

COVID-19 UPDATE: The Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Mission Hills is now open to the public from 10 AM - 4 PM every day. In addition, our team continues to move animals directly into forever homes with the help of technology, greatly reducing personal contact.

Please note: Per LA City Ordinance, proof of Covid-19 vaccination or a negative test from a test provider or laboratory within 72 hours, is required for all indoor areas of this facility. A patron may be exempt from this requirement if they are entitled under any applicable law to a reasonable accommodation for a medical condition or restriction based on religious beliefs. 

If you are interested in adopting a pet, please complete our dog adoption survey or cat adoption survey or kitten adoption survey to provide us information about your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a dog or cat. An adoption specialist will be in touch with you within 48 hours via phone or email to advise next steps. Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support for the animals of Los Angeles during these unprecedented times.

Visit the Best Friends Lifesaving Center where you can fall in love with more than 400 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies from Los Angeles Animal Services shelters.

The center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Conveniently located off the 118/405/5 freeways at 15321 Brand Boulevard, Mission Hills, CA 91345.
