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. 🥰

If you're bringing home a new dog you don’t need to have EVERYTHING figured out on day one. Best Friends’ Amanda Farah joined vets & trainers to share what really helps new dogs decompress and settle in. ✅ Save this checklist for your next adoption. msn.com/en-us/news/other/new…

Just a friendly reminder that you can adopt a pig from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary too. 👀🐷 Lazlo has a rockstar hairdo, an excellent little snout, and strong opinions regarding belly rubs and good lounging spots. Pretty solid priorities for a pig. bestfriends.org/sanctuary/ad…

James is what we call a hero. He only adopts senior pets. 🥹 Why? Because he knows they are something special and have a story to tell. #AdoptASeniorPetMonth 🧡

Emily didn’t just run 171 miles. She made HISTORY! Emily Keddie became the first woman ever to win the Grand-to-Grand Ultra overall, finishing ahead of the entire field. And she did it while helping raise support for homeless pets. 🐾 We’re in awe. 🧡 sunews.net/post/keddie-makes…

(1/2) Maia is here to remind you: don't forget to turn your clocks back 1-hour tonight! Enjoy your extra hour of sleep, but remember, your pets don't understand #DaylightSavings so they will expect breakfast to be on time. 😅🧡 📸: Kate McCarroll

What makes a family? In 'Fur Mama', Diana du Pont shares how an ex-racehorse and a rescued Lab reshaped her idea of "home". It's both a memoir and a reflection on identity, but also a beautiful reminder of how deeply animals can change us. 🧡 bestfriends.org/stories/feat…

(1/2) Looking for a way to convince your significant to let you do a doggy sleepover? I got you. 😁 Research has found that even short foster stays can lower stress-hormone levels in shelter dogs & help pets get some much-needed rest.
