About Me


Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah is the nation's largest no-kill animal sanctuary. The sanctuary sits on over 33,000 acres and is a safe haven to approximately 2,000 neglected, abused and special needs animals. Most of the animals are available for adoption. The sanctuary has over 20,000 visitors and volunteers a year so if you are in the area stop by for a visit. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary sits amongst the red rock canyons near Zion's National Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon. Here's a peak:
