author: Best Friends Animal Society
description: Best Friends Animal Society is a non-profit, tax-exempt charity that was started by Michael Mountain and a group of friends, who sought to create a no-kill haven for rescued animals. The pilot program expanded and Best Friends was established in the early 1980s. They have great success in rescuing and rehabilitating animals and finding homes for them. The sanctuary is located at Angel Canyon in Southern Utah, a 3,700 acre ranch at the heart of the famous Golden Circle of national parks, close to Zion National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Lake Powell. A wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, goats, and farm animals are cared for at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The organization reaches across the nation, helping groups, individual people, and entire communities to set up spay/neuter, shelter, foster, and adoption programs in their own neighborhoods, cities and states.
