The volunteers at Paws are amazing, but unfortunately it's time for the management to step down as she the manager Lulu is very unpleasant to work with and very difficult to work with. I've spoken to many of my neighbours who feel the same especially about cats they are trying to rescue. I know she's been there a long time it's time for her to step down and a change and fresh set of eyes to run this charitable foundation is much needed. Anyone making donations might want to think once or twice as there are lots of pet organisations to donate to.

I should start by saying that I was aware that this shelter was a kill shelter but I was under the…read moreimpression that that was because they had to be not because they wanted to be. I was also under the impression that they only killed animals if they were very very sick. So, I continued to donate supplies to this shelter over the course of a few years. Now on to my point. About a year and a half ago one of my neighbors abandoned their cats. They stopped caring for them completley and I took them in. I never intended to keep these cats but I couldnt find an immediate home so I did. I cared for them and took them to the vet regularly. One of the cats developed a bacterial infection that caused him to pee blood. I got that treated and he was totally healthy. Unfortunately, when he was sick he developed a habit of peeing in on stuff and not using his litter box. He still used it occasionally, but he would pee in alternative locations. I did everything I could to change this behavior, including medicines and hollistic methods. In addition to this, he started beating up on my other cat. With these things I realized it wasn't fair to my other cat for me to keep him. I was not willing to lie about his habits and I couldn't find him a home on my own. So on Thursday of last week I was so defeated that I decided to surrender him to this animal shelter. I didn't have a choice because law states that you have to surrender your animals to the same shelter as the town you live in. If I could have went to St. George or Ivins I would have. I even contacted PAWS and before I could tell them the story they yelled at me and told me they don't take animals from the public and advised I take him to my local shelter. Anyway, thats what I did. When I got there I told the workers everything. I did not leave any of the behavior issues out. After I assured them that he isn't sick and that its just a behavior problem, they agreed to take him. They assured me that they would not put him down if he wasn't sick. They said they don't put animals down for behavior problems unless its violence toward other animals or humans. I was crying, so maybe thats why they chose to say that, I don't know. Anyway, we called everyday and even went in to the shelter to check on him and make sure he was okay. This Thursday, my husband went in unannounced to bring them some bleach that we wanted to donate. I believe he caught him off guard because their attitudes totally changed. They were rude and acted like terrible people. They informed him that the cat started marking again and that they planned to euthenize him because of it. AFTER THEY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD NOT KILL HIM OVER A BEHAVIOR PROBLEM. So, my husband took the cat back because we were not about to allow this cat to be murdered for no reason. After picking him up we talked to some people who are associated with Best Friends Animal Society and were informed that this specific shelter CHOOSES to be a kill shelter. That means that Best Friends has offered to partner with them and they are CHOOSING to kill animals. This shelter told me that they are affiliated with the local rescues and that they often have the rescues pull animals from them. According to the people at best friends, this is true to a certain extent. Which makes me wonder if thats the case why were they so quick to try to put down this cat for behavior problems instead of contacting a rescue like best friends who has staff who are trained to handle behavior problems? Apparently this shelter used to be way worse but they still have a long way to go. As far as my specific situation, I now see that these people are not good people at all and that I made a mistake ever stepping foot in this shelter, let alone leaving a living breathing cat there for a whole week. DO NOT BRING YOUR ANIMALS HERE! I honestly think if my husband hadn't walked in when he did they would have put down this cat and then lied to us about it. THEY ARE NOT HONEST.

The Land Of Oz…read more.... My wife and I planned a 2 week road trip across the Southwest US with a 5 night stop in Kanab. One day was for Zion National Park and most of the other 3 days were for our first visit to Best Friends. It was time well spent. As a Facebook friend explained....."There is nothing in this world like Best Friends. What they do is amazing. Angels come to life right here on earth." Best Friends is not a country version of any animal shelter you've experienced. It's like a city for cats, dogs, goats, horses, pigs, rabbits and others who were abandoned, injured or thrown away - spread among 4,200 acres of buildings, corrals and playgrounds. For most people, it's the biggest farm or ranch they've ever seen or imagined. Best Friends is massive, but their job is massive. They accept animals from all situations across the US...rehabilitate them and facilitate their fostering or adoption. During the fires in Los Angeles, they rescued hundreds. Aside from a happy home, an animal remaining at Best Friends will receive more care and love from employees (815) and volunteers (thousands) than anywhere else. We took the Grand Sanctuary Tour one day and went on 2 tours another day to the Bunny House and Goat/Pigs. Then we volunteered an afternoon with 2 dogs which was something we'll never forget. And remember to stop at their cafe. For $5, you get a buffet lunch of great tasting vegan food...and a view from the large patio overlooking what you'd swear is the Grand Canyon. Best Friends helps them live their best lives. It's like the Land of Oz.

The first time I took them to the self wash I was charged for a medium and a large sized dog self-wash after telling them my dogs weight. Now a second time I go and they asked for my dogs weight, I said 18 and 21lbs. I had also gotten a few exotic treats that were not priced so I didn't think anything when I heard the total. When I got home and look at the receipt I noticed I was charged for 2 large dogs. Mind you we had to wash both dogs in the same tub at the same time. Their normal groomer doesn't even charge them as large dogs because they are not. So I guess I'm just confused on the pricing because a 21lb cockapoo is BARELY a medium sized dog... so I guess great for treats bad for self washing.
