Best Friends Animal Sanctuary Located off US 89 about 5 miles North of Kanab on over 3,000 acres is Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Best Friends is America’s largest sanctuary for abandoned or abused companion animals. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and more make up the residents of Best Friends. Usually about 1,500 animals are in residence but that number changes constantly because about 85% of these now fortunate pets, after rehabilitation and any needed medical care, are adopted out to carefully selected homes. The remaining 15% who are difficult to place for behavioral or medical reasons are allowed to live the balance of their lives with their other “Best Friends” at the sanctuary. Free tours daily. Call ahead to reserve space on a tour. Nearly 20,000 people visit a year.
