Well, this is it! The Best Friends Rescue Center located in Angel Canyon, and, the new temporary home for the animals rescued from Beruit.
Trucks filled with carriers unloaded at approximately 8:00 a.m. Within a couple of hours, the dogs and cats were all in their new temporary residences, which had been built in just four days at the side of one of the big horse pastures.
In the wee hours of the morning Best Friends staff and volunteers, along with three people from BETA, the only humane society in the whole of Lebanon, drove from Las Vegas Airport to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Southern Utah.
Once at the sanctuary, everyone worked quickly to get the dogs and cats acclimated to their new environment.
Both animals and people were in good spirits. Although weary-eyed and tired, there were wagging tails, purring voices, and happy hello howls.
They'll all be staying at the sanctuary for a minimum of two weeks, for complete health and behavior checks. And then, we'll begin sending these war-torn, but amazingly friendly, creatures to their new forever homes.
