A Valentine's Day Match Made in Heaven

This Valentine's Day, you can bypass the dating app drama and jump straight to the sleepover stage with a new companion who's guaranteed to offer unconditional love. No need to craft the perfect profile or wade through endless messages from people who claim to be "fluent in sarcasm."

How the Valentine's Sleepover Works

Best Friends Animal Society has created a matchmaking program that simplifies finding a Valentine's date. The process happens in February and works in three easy steps.

First, visit any participating Best Friends facility and meet potential matches. These dates come in the form of shelter cats and dogs who are looking for some time away from their kennels.

Next, take your Valentine home. No fancy dinner reservations needed. No expensive bouquets required. Just you and a furry friend spending quality time together.

Finally, enjoy wherever the night takes you. Most likely, this will involve lots of cuddles, companionship, and probably some excited "zoomies" around your living room.

No Pressure, No Strings Attached

Best Friends Animal Society makes this Valentine's arrangement truly pressure-free. They provide all the first aid basics, food, beds, and toys your date might need during their stay. Everything is covered, making this a true "no strings attached" Valentine's experience.

If you find yourself falling in love, you can make the relationship official at no cost. All adoption fees are waived for participants in the Valentine's Day matchmaking program. You might just meet the love of your life!

And if the chemistry isn't quite right? No hard feelings. You've still given a shelter animal a much-needed break from kennel life, and who knows—maybe you'll be ready to try again with another potential match in the future.

A Different Kind of Valentine's Experience

This February, consider skipping the traditional Valentine's Day stress. Instead, spend the holiday with a grateful shelter pet who will appreciate your company more than any box of chocolates or fancy dinner could express.

The reward goes beyond just having company on Valentine's Day. You'll be making a meaningful difference in an animal's life, even if just for one night. And that feeling of doing good might be the best Valentine's gift of all.
