Dogtown animal sanctuary is a safe haven for life

Canines sleep in style at Best Friends Roadhouse and Mercantile.

During my three decades as a travel writer, this was the first time I had found myself in the doghouse. Literally.

I was in the Puppy Pre-school at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary’s Dogtown, cuddling an affectionate pit bull mix named Challah. She was the last of her litter, and if there is any justice in the world, this adorable mutt has already found or will soon find her forever home.
