Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the largest No-Kill sanctuary in North America, is a place that provides guests peace and purpose.
We will fill your three days there with volunteer time, scheduling your shifts in areas of your choice. With lunch breaks in the Angel Canyon Cafeteria, you'll find respite and wonderful recipes!
Options of animal areas you may serve in are varied: Dogtown, Catworld, Bunny House, Piggy Paradise, Horse Haven, and Parrot Garden. You may also serve in the gift shop, where all proceeds benefit the mission to Save Them All, or Angels Rest, where windchimes sing over the resting places of animals that were dear to so many.
Each day at Best Friends will include a morning volunteer shift and an afternoon shift. In the evenings, we will support the best local restaurants in Kanab, where Vegan options are always presented. Enjoy a killer pizza from Peekaboo wood-fired Kitchen, or a curry veggie bowl at Wild Thyme Cafe.

After giving your time and love to the animals, we will drive to the top of the Kaibab Plateau, where you may enjoy the cooler temperatures and sweeping vistas found at the Grand Canyon North Rim.
Because of its remote location, this rim gets fewer visitors than its Southern or Western counterparts, and we like it that way! You'll stay in lovely cabins situated nicely near the stunning views, and meals will be served in the historic lodge.
Our guide will transport you to viewpoints unseen by big bus tours, and you'll feel as though you are a world away from everything. After two days at this forested plateau, you will feel refreshed and renewed.
