The Friends of Animals Utah non profit is hosting a weekend of events for four-legged friends and their two-legged companions looking to have a good time in Park City and help support the nonprofit’s animal rescue ranch.---
The Friends of Animals Utah nonprofit started in 1990 as a small band of animal-lovers looking for a new shelter, now they’ve helped rescue more than 10,000 animals from being euthanized and have put together their own rescue and rehab ranch as well as their animal adoption center, Furburbia. Now they’re bringing the cats and dogs out to take over Park City this weekend, with a variety of events raising money to support their rescue efforts.
