HISTORY
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary near Kanab, Utah, is home to over 1,500 unwanted, abandoned, or abused animals of all kinds – dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and farm animals. The society has a 30-year history as a No-Kill Shelter and as a leader in the No More Homeless Pets movement. They were the major force in rescuing and returning (or adopting out) the animals that were left behind during Hurricane Katrina (New Orleans, 2005) and successfully spearheaded efforts to change legislation to prevent the same problems in the future.
Tours of this amazing place are free and leave from the Welcome Center frequently. We recommend the 90-minute “Long Tour” at 9, 10:30, 1:30 and 3 daily. It includes stops at the dog and cat areas so you can meet some of the residents and staff. The “Short Tour” lasts half as long and leaves at 9:30, 11, 1:45, 2:45 and 3:45. (call 435-644-2001 ext 115 for reservations) There is a moving video that is shown 30 minutes before each tour departs, and any extra time can be spent in the world’s most dangerous gift store…
Volunteer opportunities are readily available – spend a few hours, a whole day, or a week helping care for your favorite critters! The shelter is also happy to have you come and just spend time with the animals, as it helps to socialize them and make them more adoptable.

TO THE BOX
From Kanab, head north on Highway 89, five miles to the signed entrance to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Set your trip odometer to zero at the turn-off. This is a short, county-maintained loop-road that will bring you back to Hwy 89. Any side roads are private property, though, and they ask you stay off of them for the safety of the “Trustees” – those animals who’ve been at the shelter so long they’re trusted out of their enclosures.
At 1.3 miles are most of the farm animals and the Welcome Center. Well worth a stop!
At 2.4 miles is a picture-perfect barn, home of a 45-year old Appaloosa named Dee! Pull into the parking lot there on your left, just past the barn. The ramp at the end of the lot will take you to Angels Landing, a gorgeous natural amphitheatre with cool, freshwater pools inside. Between the amphitheatre and the barn is a short green fence with a gate. The box is at the west end of the fence, at the base of the cliff.
At 3.1 miles is Angels Rest, the shelter’s cemetery. There are over 4,000 graves here. The windchimes are memorials of others that were loved and lost.
At 3.5 miles is Ambush Pass, where many scenes were filmed for western movies such as The Outlaw Jose Wales and TV series like The Lone Ranger.
At 4.1 miles is a spectacular view of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
