About Our Partnership

Wahl Animal is guided by our mission in keeping animals healthy, happy, and beautiful! To achieve a mission like ours, we believe it’s crucial to align ourselves with other organizations who share these same values and beliefs. The Best Friends Animal Society is an American nonprofit animal welfare organization. BFAS does outreach nationwide with shelters, rescue groups and members to promote pet adoption, no-kill animal rescue, and spay-and-neuter practices. What’s more, is the organization’s animal sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, that boasts 3,700 acres of breathtaking views and has forever changed the future for pets in shelters.

Wahl Animal is committed to partnering with BFAS in donating over $50,000 and grooming products to the Best Friends Animal Society to support our mission and help animals of all kinds! With this contribution, we intend to help both pets and people by ensuring everyone has the same access to loving companions, and that every adoptable pet, has access to the comfort of a foster home instead of a kennel in a shelter.

On any given day, up to 1,600 animals call Best Friends Animal Sanctuary a home-between-homes. Dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, pigs, and other barnyard animals come to the sanctuary from all over the country. Each animal arrives seeking a safe haven where they can find refuge, love, and acceptance.

In addition to our monetary and product donation, the Wahl Animal team geared up and dedicated their time with a volunteer trip to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in April of 2022. From animal makeovers to projects at the sanctuary aimed towards providing a better quality of life for the animals, read about this memorable trip and see behind the scenes footage on The Wahl Groomer blog!

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

Wahl Animal is guided by our mission in keeping animals healthy, happy and beautiful. In 2022, we partnered with Best Friends Animal Society (BFAS), a nonprofit animal welfare organization and no-kill shelter system, to live out our mission.

Located on 3,700 acres in Kanab, UT, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary serves as a home-between-homes to [a high of] 1,600 animals daily. By donating $50,000 to Best Friends, Wahl Animal intends to help all pets by ensuring each adoptable pet lives in the comfort of a foster home instead of a kennel shelter. The Wahl Animal team dedicated their time with a volunteer trip to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary to provide animal makeovers and help with projects at the sanctuary to provide a better quality of life for the animals.
