FOUNDED IN 1984, THE SANCTUARY WAS CREATED ON ONE SIMPLE BELIEF: THAT EVERY PET HAS A LIFE WORTH SAVING. SINCE THEN, THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS HAVE FOUND REFUGE HERE AND RECEIVED LOVE AND OUTSTANDING CARE AS THEY SEARCH FOR GOOD HOMES. ON ANY GIVEN DAY, SOME 1,600 DOGS, CATS, BUNNIES, BIRDS, HORSES AND OTHER BARNYARD ANIMALS CALL THE SANCTUARY THEIR HOME BETWEEN HOMES, WITH EACH ANIMAL RECEIVING ALL THE AFFECTION AND CARE NEEDED TO HEAL, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. BEST FRIENDS IS COMMITTED TO FINDING LOVING HOMES FOR AS MANY ANIMALS AT THE SANCTUARY AS POSSIBLE. BUT EVEN IF THAT RIGHT HOME NEVER COMES ALONG, THE ANIMALS ARE WELCOME TO CALL THE SANCTUARY HOME FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

DURING THE WINTER, THE NEW AVIARY PROVIDES A SAFE SPACE FOR BIRDS TO SPREAD THEIR WINGS AND GET EXERCISE OUTSIDE OF THEIR INDOOR CAGES. *PHASE 0 OF OUR ESTIMATED $3.7 MILLION HORSE HAVEN RENOVATION PROJECT, WHICH AIMS TO MAKE HORSE HAVEN AN EVEN GREATER REFUGE FOR ABANDONED AND ABUSED HORSES, WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2018 AND PHASE 1 WAS STARTED.
