What is Best
Friends Animal Sanctuary?
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, in the majestic red-rock
country of southern
Utah, north of the Grand Canyon, is the nation's largest
sanctuary for abused
and abandoned companion and domestic animals.
Through the work of the sanctuary and its education,
adoption, and
spay/neuter programs, the purpose of Best Friends is
to help bring about a
time when no homeless, unwanted animals are being destroyed
in shelters,
and when every dog or cat ever born can be guaranteed
a good life in a good
home.
How many animals
live at the sanctuary?
There are never fewer than 1,500 animals at the sanctuary
-- usually more on
any given day, depending on space and accommodation
available.
The majority are dogs and cats, but there are also horses
and burros, ducks
and geese, rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs, and other assorted
weird and
wonderful creatures.
What is a "no-kill" (or
lifelong-care) sanctuary?
"No-kill" means that animals are not destoyed except
when compassion for a
suffering animal demands euthanasia, and no reasonable
alternative exists.
