Best Friends Animal Sanctuary saves the lives of hundreds of dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, pigs, horses and other animals each and every year. Many of them need just a few weeks of special care before they’re ready to be adopted. Others, those who are ill or have suffered extra trauma, find a haven here for as long as it takes them to recover and find homes.

When you see
Matilda hop, you’ll notice she’s a bit different. She was born with an anomaly
where her tail meets her spine, but luckily she’s not in any pain. This adorable bunny simply needs love and understanding,
and she gets oodles of that at
the Sanctuary.
Every day is exciting for Jebediah and Audrey (in the center) and their siblings. Is it mealtime? Playtime? They all crowd around either way, with tails wagging and ears perked, ready for anything.
