About Us
A better world through kindness to animals. Best Friends is working with our members – and with humane groups all across the country – to bring about a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. The sanctuary at Angel Canyon, in the Golden Circle of southern Utah, is home, on any given day, to about 2,000 dogs, cats, and other animals from all over the country. Many of them need just a few weeks of special care before they’re ready to go to good new homes. Others, who are older or sicker, or who have suffered extra trauma, find a home and a haven here, and are given loving care for the rest of their lives.

Through the Best Friends Network, Best Friends reaches across the nation and around the world, helping local communities to rescue animals in distress and to set up spay/neuter, shelter, foster, and adoption programs in their own neighborhoods, cities and states. And our rapid response team brings rescue and relief to people and pets in times of crisis and disaster. The work of Best Friends is supported entirely through the donations of our members, who help to ensure that animals who come into the care of Best Friends will never again be alone, hungry, sick, afraid, or in pain.
