Animals Best Friends

Animal rescue in Independence, MO

We are a non-profit organization, licensed in the state of Missouri. We rescue animals from local shelters and off the street, while some come from owners who can no longer keep them. Our animals are cared for at our facility or in foster homes while we help them find their forever family. If you are interested in adopting or fostering any of our animals, or to learn more about our group, please go to www.animalsbestfriends.org
