Kobayashi Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I Iq'd this on foxtel the other day, and i dont think anything has made me as emotional as this for a LONG time. Theres been a few conflicting opinions on how best friends animal shelter is run, but the results on some of the dogs had me in tears. I had heard poor georgias story before, but seeing her was even sadder then i thought. I wish i knew about best friends before my utah trip in 2006, i would have liked to visit them. Any organisation thats non kill and anti BSL has my thumbs up in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz+Rome Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I was lucky enough to see that episode. I absolutely loved it. The dogs were gorgeous and it was so wonderful to see that they were able to overcome such a horriffic time in their lives. Georgia was so beautiful and it was great to see how kind they were to her, such deserving dogs of that kindness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyliegirl Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I am glad they took the vick dogs in and not PETA or HSUS, both of those wanted to kill them, I am glad they got the second chance they deserved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any organisation thats non kill and anti BSL has my thumbs up in general. If you ever go to Utah again, go stay and volunteer there, my friend and I stayed there for a couple of days and worked/volunteered there, they have cabins you can stay in and each night you can bring a dog or cat home for an overnight stay. I helped out in the Cat, Bird and Dog sections and loved my time there and hope to go back again in the next few years. Alot of people come regularly and bring there dogs there while they volunteer I can't speak highly enough of Best Friends the work they do is amazing and they appreciate any help you can give.

A-B-C Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Oh wow wolfgirl I am green with envy. That is definitely something I would love to experience. I'd have to take ages off though, as if I go to Best Friends I'd be doing quite some time with BADRAP in San Fran too. Both groups are just so inspiring. 's they are!

~Lisa~ Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 mish, unfortunately the series isn't showing anymore, but keep an eye on the Nat Geo channel (channel 612) because they show reruns quite regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butch's dad Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 what also got me was John Garcia's love for Georgia.watching him set up his sleeping bag in her pen was awesome I just wanted to fly right over and give cherry a cuddle Yes agree with everyone here. Dogtown appear to be wonderful and I must admit, I thought the same about John's love for Georgia. Had I been working there, I think Cherry may have gone missing, only to be found at my house Gorgeous boy. Can't even begin to tell you what I think should happen to Michael Vick as I'm sure ladies are reading this post. Dogtown has been showing reruns for the last couple of weeks so look out on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillypilly Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 There is also a lovely book with great photos to compliment the TV series. I was at Dogtown last year, mainly in the clinic and saw the most amazing things. Best Friends is one of my fav places in the US and I will be visiting again in a few weeks time.
