Things to Do
Visit Best Friends
The Welcome Center is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, except Christmas. Browse our gift shop or relax at our wishing garden, complete with beautiful plantings and koi pond. Take a hike on one of the many trails in and around our beautiful scenery at the Sanctuary.
Take a tour
We offer four full tours of the Sanctuary each day. They take approximately an hour and a half and wind through the magnificent red rock landscape of Angel Canyon and include stops at Dogtown and Cat World.
Guided tours of the Sanctuary leave from and return to the Welcome Center at specific times each day. Be sure to call (435) 644-2001 ext. 4537 to reserve your space.
Volunteer
Volunteers help with the animals and basic sanctuary operations. Choose to work with birds, pigs, rabbits, horses, cats, dogs or wild friends, preparing meals, cleaning, grooming, walking and socializing. Volunteers are much appreciated.
Please note that each animal area has a maximum number of volunteers it can accommodate daily. Please contact our Volunteer Department at volunteers@bestfriends.org or at (435) 644-2001 ext. 4119 to make arrangements prior to your visit. As much advance notice that you can give us regarding your volunteering dates and preferences is helpful in fulfilling your requests.
