Visit the Sanctuary

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is the very heart of the organization and our lifesaving work around the country.

Each day is a bright new beginning as caregivers provide love, companionship and rehabilitation to pets simply looking for kindness and the chance for a life in a loving home.

There truly is no place else on earth like the Sanctuary. We hope you’ll come experience the magic for yourself.

During your visit

From the animal areas to the hiking trails to the café and gift store, there’s so much to see, do and experience at Best Friends. Free guided tours of the Sanctuary are offered daily.

During your visit, you’ll see healing and compassion in action. You can volunteer directly with the animals in one of our care centers, explore on your own with the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary app, tour the grounds, and connect with like-minded people committed to making a difference, or simply find serenity in the magnificence of the red rock canyons.

Can’t visit the Sanctuary?

Nothing compares to experiencing the magic and beauty of the sanctuary firsthand, but if you’re not able to visit in person, there are still plenty of ways to connect with the animals and get a sense of the incredible healing and caregiving that happens here.
