Spend Time in Dogtown at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

If you’ve ever seen National Geographic Channel’s “Dogtown”, you probably know that Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is the shelter that took in over 20 of Michael Vick’s fight dogs despite recommendations from the Humane Society and PETA that the dogs be put down. But Dogtown at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, located in the red rock country of southern Utah, has actually helped hundreds of animals since opening in 1987.

The sanctuary only takes in last resort dogs who have serious medical or socialization issues. They are currently building new outdoor enclosures and comfy indoor living areas in anticipation of hundreds of additional dogs that will be coming in from all over the country.
