Best Friends is absolutely beautiful. But it didn’t get that way without a little help from their Landscaping Department.

BF is very involved with educating other facilities in doing the best that they can to help animals. In this case, Jackie is assisting a Sanctuary in Las Vegas that needs a little help [...]
