Best Friends Animal Society partners with animal shelters and rescue groups for Bring Love Home Challenge, to increase pet adoptions December 1-31 GDCAS will participate in the Bring Love Home Challenge, a nationwide effort to help more cats and dogs find homes this December. Led by Best Friends Animal Society, a leading national animal welfare organization working to save the lives of cats and dogs in America’s shelters and take the country no-kill*, the challenge aims to increase lifesaving, and participants will be eligible to receive grant funding.
GDCAS is joining nearly 300 animal shelters and rescue groups across the country to address the critical need for increased pet adoptions by piloting data-backed changes to help more pets get adopted or fostered — such as reducing adoption fees, eliminating home checks, and offering multilingual customer service for adopters and fosters.
In conjunction with the challenge,G DCAS will be hosting an ongoing adoption event December 16th –December 31st 2025. All fees will be reduced to $40 fully vetted dogs and $20 fully vetted cats and kittens.
When Best Friends launched its first Bring Love Home Challenge in June 2024, the response was extraordinary — 34,557 cats and dogs found loving homes, an impressive 3,548 more than the same time the year before.
GDCAS Has also implemented a Bi-Lingual adoption form and also have online adoptions forms as well now.
“More adoptions and pets being fostered means more lives saved,” said Whitney Bollinger, Director of Strategy & Network Operations, Best Friends Animal Society. “We selected GDCAS for the Bring Love Home Challenge because of their commitment to making adoptions and fostering more accessible in their community and helping more cats and dogs find the homes they need and deserve.”

*No-kill is defined by a 90% save rate for animals entering a shelter and is a meaningful and common-sense benchmark for measuring lifesaving progress. Typically, the number of pets who are suffering from irreparable medical or behavioral issues that compromise their quality of life and prevent them from being rehomed is not more than 10% of all dogs and cats entering shelters. For any community to be no-kill, all stakeholders in that community must work together to achieve and sustain that common goal while prioritizing community safety and good quality of life for pets as guiding no-kill principles. This means cooperation among animal shelters, animal rescue groups, government agencies, community members and other stakeholders, all committed to best practices and protocols.
