In the summer of 1982, a group of young men and women pooled their resources and bought 3,000 acres of high desert in the wilds of southern Utah. From then until now, they had brought into being the most beloved animal sanctuary in the world --- the place called, simply, Best Friends.

The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, located in Angel Canyon in Kanab, Utah, is the largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals in the USA. I had the pleasuring of touring this facility in the summer of 2003. It is a place filled with love and compassion set in the breath-taking red rock country of the desert southwest.
