The outbuildings are octogon shaped, very clean and filled with happy animals; many of whom are difficult to adopt out. All the dogs need to pass tests such as not jumping up on people and getting along with other animals.
An incredible number of volunteers spend vacation time to help at the shelter. It was an amazing experience to see and feel so much love.
The property is so spread out that we took a van for the 90 minute tour from location to location. They fought the courts and took in 22 of Michael Vick's fighting dogs. Six have been adopted; several died from natural causes. Ten remain as un-adoptable and will live here in what surely is paradise after what they've been through.
The pet cemetary is for animals that have passed on that lived out their lives here.
We are in Mormon Country. There is a lot of history of the Pioneers life coming west and settling in Utah.
We took a ranger tour of the house. Check out this awesome stove.
And this mustache cup
This home was built like a fort if needed to fight off the Indians.
The house was built next to a natural spring and the ranch was used to house the cattle that the faithful paid to the church for their tithe.
We took a drive to Pink Coral Sands State Park. Miles and miles of sand that was fine as talcum powder.
