    Best Friends

    Has anyone been out to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary out in Utah? I have heard fabulous things about that place, and it is apparently so huge it is worthy of a one or more-day stay to play with all the kitties and other animals there. It is a no-kill shelter (many of the animals who live there are there to stay for the rest of their lives.) Anyway we're thinking of taking a detour on our next vacation and spending a day or two there, any comments from anyone who's been there?

    I get their flyers, and I too would give anything to go there. Heck It would be a dream to live in the same city! And visit everyday. Their flyers I get in the mail are very inspiring, I would take the chance and visit! Let us know how it goes!!!!

    I've never been there....yet! I get their mailings also and someday when we're out that way in the motorhome I intend to stop in. I think that if you can work it into your vacation schedule, it's a must see....and be sure and take lots of pics so we can see too!

    I'm not sure. All I know is that this place is HUGE, they have animals of all walks of life and many of them are brought there with the intention of living out the rest of their lives there, as well as having a lot to adopt from.

    I haven't been either, but I'd really like to go.

    It sounds like a really neat place.

    I am seriously thinking that one year I will spend my vacation there volunteering....that is, unless there is a BBQ or a UK trip to attend.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    We contribute to this wonderful sanctuary. I would like to move there, and volunteer every day.

    Have you read the book about how they came into being? It's great.

    It looks like Heaven on earth for all those animals. I'd love to visit someday, and especially "Benton's House"...think that's the special needs kitties building. If you do go....bring a camera, and a carrier or two!
