While I was hiking Zion, I left my dog back at the cabin. She got separation anxiety and I realized that I couldn't leave her by herself a second day. This tiny creature turned into a damn Tasmanian devil. Don't let her cute furry face fool you. I called Darlene around 3pm and told her I was looking for someone to board my dog overnight since I was scheduled to leave to Zion the next morning at 6am. Darlene was great. Luckily she had the room to board her on such short notice. She said she could take her and would even let her sleep with her since that is our usual practice. She asked important questions like - does she get along with other dogs? How old is she? Does she sleep alone? Now, afterwards I might have had a little separation anxiety myself giving my dog to a perfect stranger but honestly, she couldn't have been in better care. Side note: Darlene seems to be a staple in this area for dog care and training. I've heard MULTIPLE people rave about her training. If I lived closer I would absolutely send my dog to her.

"Please help me, please help my cat!" You, behind the counter explained that I would need a means of prepayment before you would help me, a credit card number would do.

SHAME ON YOU! I begged you. My cat died later that day. This was just over ten years ago and I still remember clearly the cruel and disgusting way in which you treated me in my desperation to save my cat. You have no business practicing in the care of anything!

Visiting Best Friends Animal Sanctuary was truly the experience of a lifetime. I have been a donor…read moreand member for over 18 years and my dreams of visiting the sanctuary exceeded all expectations. The sanctuary tour was informative and breathtaking, and the Pig & Goat Tour was an absolute highlight. Our tour guides, Cat and Tolo, were knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. Their stories and dedication made the experience even more meaningful. What touched me most, however, was meeting one of the many volunteers who travel to the sanctuary each year to give their time in service of its incredible mission. I met Holly, whose story deeply inspired me. She shared why she gratefully sets aside time from her own life to come here and be part of the sanctuary's mission to "Save Them All." Her compassion and selflessness reminded me that every volunteer is an essential piece of a much larger puzzle, giving hope to animals who deserve love, safety, and a second chance. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is so much more than a place to visit--it's a place that changes your perspective and fills your heart. Whether you come for a tour, volunteer, or simply experience the sanctuary, you'll leave inspired by the extraordinary people, the resilient animals, and the unwavering commitment to creating a better world for them. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I know this won't be my last visit.

Best Friends Animal Society wasn't on our original Grand Circle itinerary, but after seeing we had…read moresome extra time on a Thursday in Mid April, we decided to take a tour of the grounds. They had availability for the Grand Tour and after eating at the nearby Angel Village Cafe, we were off on the shuttle. Ours was a pretty personal tour with only 6 people in total. We first went over to see the resident pigs, including plenty of petting. I loved how they flopped down, ready for belly scratches, immediately upon us entering the pen! We then took a drive around Dogtown, then a stop at Cat World, including a visit into one of the 11 buildings on site. Plenty of cats lounging around to pet. Finally, we drove around the Bunny House, Wild Friends building, and Horse Haven. All in all, it took around an hour and a half, with plenty of excellent commentary the entire time. I do have to say I am a little skeptical about some of the stories - for example our tour guide Amanda told us about an animal shelter which didn't have any employees on site during the weekends so every Friday they euthanized the animals in their care... No way, right? Before visiting Best Friends Animal Society, I thought it was kind of cult-like, but they don't seem to be particularly pushy. In the end, it's a free tour, making it a cheap and entertaining way to spend an afternoon.

I begged my mom for lessons growing up, but she couldn't afford them. However, she signed me up for a couple of trail rides and they're a core memory. Two decades later and my affinity for horses hasn't wavered, mostly because I moved to Saint George--a town where I'm surrounded by these gentle giants in every direction I go. Naturally, my 5-year-old daughter loves horses too and wanted to take lessons. I took her to a different facility that showed a bunch of red flags, so we didn't go back there. Then, I found Shauna at Haskell Riding Academy and instantly clicked with her when we met. What started as an inquiry for my daughter ended up with me taking lessons instead. I started riding with Shauna two months ago and it has quickly become my favorite form of therapy. My stress instantly turns to stillness at the stable gates. Anyone can benefit from being in the presence of these sensitive souls--they're very healing beings. I highly recommend getting lessons with Shauna. Learning a new skill as an adult can be intimidating, but she's very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate how particular she is about doing things. She'll always explain why she does it a certain way, and it always makes perfect sense. There's a reason her horses age gracefully, like Tag who I've been riding. He's in such great shape, I would have never guessed he's 29! Also, some of her horses have blue eyes/pink skin and they wear protective masks to reduce their risk of cancer. These are just a couple testaments to how much she loves and cares for her horses. Here's a photo of me and my daughter, Shauna let her join me at the end of my lesson. It was such a nice surprise, my daughter loved it. I'm looking forward to growing as a rider and can't wait for my daughter to start riding when she's a bit older. I know she'll be in good hands with Shauna!

Instead of turning us away, they graciously offered us a boondocking spot and invited us to a once-a-week complimentary dinner for all guests. It turned into a wonderful evening around the fire pit, connecting with fellow travelers. Meeting the owners was an added highlight--they were as warm and inviting as the meal they shared.
