Racer Michael Annett visited Best Friends Animal Sanctuary to ‘learn from the best” as he pursuing his dream of opening an animal sanctuary. In February 2013, Annetts girlfriend, Heidi Spillane, and her mother visited Best Friends. Spillane ended up adoption a dog. So when she and Annett decided they needed more information on developing plans for an animal sanctuary, they knew where to come. The couple came to Best Friends for a compressed ‘How to Start an Animal Sanctuary” workshop. Their dream is to have a sanctuary somewhere in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.”The most important thing people need to know, if they want to help homeless pets, is that the problem starts with people not the animals. It is our responsibility to spay and neuter them. We can build a million sanctuaries but if people are not spaying and neutering their pets there will never be enough homes’ Annett said.(Best Friends Animal Society PR)
