Plan a Volunteering Vacation to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

Best Friends Animals Sanctuary is located in the majestic red-rock country of Southern Utah. Being the largest animal sanctuary in the nation, it's home to an average of about 2,000 animals that find their way to Best Friends from rescuers and shelters all over the country. Some will find loving homes and others will live out their lives at the sanctuary.

They welcome visitors and volunteers and about 20,000 people a year visit Best Friends from all over the world. Visiting the sanctuary is unlike any other experience you will find anywhere.

My family traveled to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in 2004 and it was one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had the joy of experiencing.

My husband and I visited Best Friends about twelve years ago, and I'll never forget it, especially the sweet kitty that was rescued from a clothes dryer. It looked ... well, rough ... but it was so loving. What a wonderful place that is, even if it's a bit gut-wrenching to go there in some ways. They really do take great care of all the animals.

My brother in law help them out - he was there for Katrina and now for Ike - it is very sad those animals left behind, but they do a great job. You can see my brother in law on the cover of the book Paw prints of Kartina. What an amazing bunch of people they are - I have 9 rescues of my own. See some of my Animals pages. You get 5 BIG stars for a job well done.
