MINI USA and Best Friends Animal Society are partnering to offer no-cost adoptions at Best Friends locations across the country from Dec. 10-12.

Best Friends and NKLA Adoption Center will be open from noon to 4 p.m. throughout the weekend for potential adopters to meet pets in person. Virtual appointments are also available.

“Whatever life has in store, having a pet makes everything better. Pets provide constant companionship while drastically reducing stress, which many of us can really appreciate these days,” said Julie Castle, CEO at Best Friends Animal Society. “The holidays are a great time to adopt, and thanks to MINI, we hope to get a record number of dogs and cats into loving homes this season.”

All pets from Best Friends are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Throughout the last six months, shelters have had an increased intake rate, resulting in overcrowded shelters.

“According to our MINI Rules of the Road, we believe in having a co-pilot who’s ready for adventure, whether human or furry,” MINI USA brand communications manager RAH Mahtani said. “The MINI community is very pet-friendly, so we are proud to partner with Best Friends Animal Society, and we can’t think of a better way to help support animal welfare than by making it easier to adopt a pet in need just in time for the holidays.”
