Welcome to the Sanctuary

The animals come to the sanctuary from far and wide. But once they're here, we make sure that nothing bad will ever happen to them again.

But there are also those who are the outcasts of society - unwanted, lame, too traumatized by past abuse, or too old, handicapped, or ill. For these lovable, innocent creatures, Best Friends is a unique home and haven. There's just nothing else like it anywhere.

The Animals.
On any given day, there are about 1,700 dogs, cats and other animals living at the sanctuary. They come for special care from shelters and rescue groups all across the country. Many of them just need a few weeks of special care before they're ready to go to good new homes with loving families.
