Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

5001 Angel Canyon Road, Kanab, Utah 84741

This place is pure heaven on earth for the wide variety of rescued animals here. Upon my arrival, I spotted several people taking the pigs out for a walk. So cute!

Nappy time

Once the animals come here, they literally have a home forever. Either by being adopted or staying at this sanctuary. Yes indeed, a no-kill policy. Fabulous I say.

They have many areas to explore including; Dogtown, Cat World, Horse Haven, Marshall’s Piggy Paradise, Bunny House, Parrot Garden & Wild Friends. You can book a tour, volunteer and or book a cabin to stay overnight.

My only regret is not scheduling enough time to spend here! We were on our way to Monument Valley and I wanted to arrive before sunset. The bird tour I booked was already underway, even though I was on time. They want you to arrive early (since this place is situated on many acres of land) so they can drive you to the correct area for your tour. Sad face for me.

However, the nice lady offered to open up one of the dog areas so we could visit. Turned out to be a small room containing a handful of kennels full of loving, boisterous dogs located close to the main office. 

Long story short I fell in love with a dog. Yup I wanted to take her home and was sure she would love my chocolate lab. She spent most of her time in my lap. Alas, it was not meant to be. But I do have my pictures of her to admire and the t-shirts I bought from the gift shop.

Ways to give include; adoption, sponsor an animal, become a best friends member or join the action team.

If I’m ever in this area again I’ll make sure to book a tour months in advance. And of course to be early!
