    Best Friends Animal Society Advocating for Animals

    Because of the dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. ―Mary Oliver

    Let’s take a moment and think about our favorite companions, the ones who bring joy to our lives. For me, our dogs are on the top of that list. They have changed our lives for the better through unconditional love, laughter, play, adventure, routine, and companionship. We’ve adopted three dogs throughout the years from Best Friends Animal Society (BFAS). Our girl, Utah, crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020. You can read her story HERE and more about BFAS. I am a proud ambassador for Best Friends Animal Society and am so thankful for the hard work that they do to advocate and help all animals.

    Today (and every day) is an opportunity to give homeless pets the means to find their forever homes.

    Donations to Best Friends Animal Society move the country closer to their no-kill 2025 goal. If you want to donate, please visit bestfriends.org. Best Friends Animal Society’s efforts reach far beyond the sanctuary teaming up with shelters all over the country.

    No-kill can be possible across the nation, and homeless pets can find their forever homes with your help. Best Friends will show you how to create a sustainable, locally-driven change – all from home. Learn more HERE.

    Best Friends Animal Society is the largest no-kill sanctuary in the Nation. Their mission is to Save Them All and live in a world with no homeless pets. The sanctuary is home to over 1600 homeless pets including dogs, cats, pigs, horses, birds, and more. The Best Friends’ team works hard towards their goal of no-kill and saving them all through creative programs such as the spay and neuter program.

    Our pups, Allen and Carol, have been together for two years now and have such a tight bond. It was scary at first to adopt a second dog after Utah passed but we are so thankful that we did. I mean, look at these two!

    Don’t forget, every little bit makes a difference – even $5.00. And, there are many ways to help, including sharing information about rescue shelters, buying unique gifts from the Best Friends Animal Society store, donating, volunteering, fostering, or adopting.

    We like to say that we save them, but I believe that they save us. 🧡

    Happy Best Friends Day! Life is short, do something that stirs your soul.

    Above is our girl, Utah. She was part of our first experience at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. We drove through Utah on our way home after visiting Las Vegas and stopped for a sanctuary tour. Of course, we couldn’t resist that face and adopted her that day. Since 2016, we’ve visited the sanctuary over ten times to volunteer. It is a life-changing and beautiful place to volunteer plus learn more about their initiative. It is a must-add to your bucket list if you love animals.

    We have adopted three dogs from Best Friends Animal Society over the past eight years. Utah, Allen, and Carol have changed our lives for the better. Sadly, Utah crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020. She was a gentle force that is greatly missed. Allen and Carol continue to bring light to our lives through unconditional love, laughter, play, adventure, routine, and steady companionship.

    You can read more about Utah and Allen‘s adoptions by clicking their names.

  • Life of a Best Friends Rescue Dog

    Life of a Best Friends Rescue Dog

    The Story of a Best Friend Animal Society Adoption

    This is the life story of a rescue dog, our Best Friends rescue dog. When we met, I had no idea how much you would change our lives for the better. Our time together was short but continues to have a lasting impact.

    Thousands of miles and adventures in your years. Thank you for saving us, sweet girl. Run free…

    We met at Best Friends Animal Society, a place that was on my bucket list after seeing their National Geographic “Dog Town” series. We scheduled a tour and then randomly checked their website for puppies available for adoption. There you were! Without hardly thinking, we submitted our adoption paperwork. It was late in the evening. The next morning during the tour, we got a call from the Best Friends Adoption Specialist. Our cell service was sketchy, so we could not connect. We were so nervous that we would miss the opportunity. But then…

    From that day forward, life was full of lessons, adventures, and love. You taught us patience, how to work together, to take breaks, to enjoy daily walks. You literally made us laugh every single day. Your personality was larger than life. You loved to travel and road trips. Every hotel, every new location, was a place to discover and explore. You climbed on every table and chair even when you were too big to fit. You loved sitting on the lawn chairs in the backyard and taking it all in.

    I could post a million pictures of you and tell a million stories. When we found out that you had kidney disease at your one year check-up, it was so heartbreaking. We made up our minds to fill your short life with adventure. Another thing that through you changed us forever. We grew closer, discovered ourselves through traveling, and became happier. I felt a strong connection to you because of struggling with my own pain. We both had challenges but we figured out ways to work around them and live our best lives. We took breaks when we needed them and pushed ourselves when we could. Together.

    You were never sure what to do with your long legs. 🙂

    You died at the young age of three (almost four). I’m so thankful for the time that you had with your brother, Allen. He brought out so much joy in you the last year of your life.

    We miss you so much.

    Best Friends Animal Society started over 35 years ago with a no-kill sanctuary in Utah. Today, they are helping homeless pets in every corner of the country. Their goal is to have the country no-kill by 2025. You can learn more HERE.
