Lend a helping hand around our sanctuary
Beyond volunteering in the animal areas, there are so many other ways your valuable skills can help around the Sanctuary.
While helping to care for the animals is extremely rewarding, many other volunteer projects around Best Friends Animal Sanctuary are just as gratifying.
Whether you’re helping to care for Angels Rest or assisting with various landscaping projects, we have many opportunities to match your skill level and preference.
We're focused on keeping you and our animal friends safe while you're volunteering, so before your trip to the Sanctuary, make sure you've read through what to expect at the Sanctuary and in specific animal areas.
Sanctuary Store volunteer opportunities
Volunteering in the Sanctuary Store is a fun way to engage with visitors from all over the world.
Angels Rest volunteer opportunities
As an Angels Rest volunteer, you’ll honor the thousands of beloved animals who have passed by helping to maintain the sacred grounds of their final resting place.
Put your green thumb to use
If you love plants and digging in the earth, we'd love your help ensuring the Sanctuary is beautiful and safe for its inhabitants and visitors.
Transport homeless pets to safety
When you volunteer to drive a pet from one community where they’re at risk to another community where they’re more likely to get adopted, you’re helping to save the lives of homeless pets.
Best Friends Animal Clinic volunteer opportunities
Licensed veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and other medically skilled volunteers may be eligible to volunteer at the Best Friends Animal Clinic with prior arrangements.
Volunteers with disabilities are welcome! Contact us to learn about volunteering with a disability; we offer shorter hour-long shifts for anyone interested. Email volunteers@bestfriends.org or call 435-319-0622 with questions or sign up for a shift.
Know before you go
If you’re not sure where to get lunch or what to wear in southern Utah during seasonal weather, we’ve got you covered.
Our animal sanctuary is an incredibly special place, and we’ll help you figure out everything you need to know to ensure that your visit is the trip of your dreams.
