Best Friends began as a special haven for dogs who were due to be put to sleep .. some of them have special needs .. like medical conditions .. shyness or old age .. others overcame their special needs long ago and are as healthy and happy a pet as you will find anywhere .. all of them are looking for homes to call their own and every one of them deserves a chance.

Please take your time browsing .. on these pages you will find big dogs .. small dogs and everything in between .. all of them anxious to meet you .. if you do not find your new pet today please bookmark this page and check back regularly .. there are always new dogs arriving every day.

Best Friends Refuge Rescue and is a non-profit registered charity that saves and rehomes abandoned and unwanted dogs in Brisbane on the Gold Coast and surrounding areas in Queensland Australia.

Most of BFR animals are saved from death row in Council Pounds while others have been surrendered to us .. BFR are 100% No-Kill and as we do not yet have a shelter our animals live with foster carers until the perfect home is found .. this service runs successfully because of our wonderful dedicated foster carers .. volunteers and supporters.
