Stroll with a sanctuary dog in Kanab, Utah
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
Best Friends Animal Society runs a large sanctuary for homeless pets in Kanab, Utah, and invites volunteers to stroll with a dog, tidy a rabbit run or keep a shy cat company. It is a walk with a purpose in red-rock country, and a reason to plan a trip around it.
