The people who run this organization are incredibly charitable and put so much effort into these dogs and cats. I recently visited and they had three dogs available. They were happily running around inside their enclosures outside under the shade of the tree. There were lots of other dog runs/kennels that looks much smaller, but also like they were no longer in use. There were not a lot of animals to choose from-but maybe that's because they all found homes or were in foster homes when we visited. Hopefully that's the case-and they are getting closer to their goal of No More Homeless Pets!

They truly are concerned about pets. I have so much positive to say about Rhonda and Second Chance…read morefor Homeless Pets. I've adopted three kittens from them. The kittens were always very well taken care of and you could tell that they came from quality foster homes. Very reasonable, adoption fees, spayed, and neutered and current on vaccinations. I've also had the pleasure of fostering kittens with Second Chance. The owner does what she says and supplies you with everything you need to take care of the animals. The commitments are not long and she is able to take the animals back as promised and on time. I recently was in there, and there was a woman trying to adopt a dog. It was obvious the woman did not have a home. The owner was not going to allow the woman to adopt the dog because she did not have a safe place for the dog to live. Although the woman was very upset, the owner was very professional and kind as she explained that she could not in good conscience adopt a pet out that didn't have a safe environment. percent she is concerned about the welfare of the animals. I will always refer people to them whether they're in the market to adopt an animal or if they're interested in fostering or volunteering there it's a great place with low overhead and a lot lot of love.!

I came here for a tour last Saturday, and it was such a welcoming experience. Our tour guide was…read morefantastic and cracked jokes the entire way through, all while explaining all the critical aspects of the Ronald McDonald House Foundation. It's truly an amazing organization that focuses on family and does so much good, especially for those struggling financially. Some highlights I found that were good to know include: Cost is $15 per night for a family medicaid coverage (all states cover this fee except Utah Medicaid). The only families who qualify would need to reside at least 35 miles away. Over 22,000 families were served in the first year alone, but in order to stay here, families need to be referred by social worker and have a thorough background check. They do not allow early room reservations to prevent turning away a family in need that could have had an empty room that gets cancelled. There is a 25 cent coke machines in community room. Due to enterovirus, kids under 14 and not inpatient cannot stay. But they do allow visiting guests. I'd recommend any organization that is looking to donate to a charity to consider the Ronald McDonald House. There are also many ways to volunteer, so definitely look into it--whether you're a chef, story-time expert, or OCD cleaner!

It wasn't until today that I really understood the structure of The Salvation Army. And although…read moreI'm not ready to take any quizzes, I do know that I have always admired the work they do and have been lucky enough to help out from time to time. Officially it's a denomination--I'm told it's in the Methodist vein--but that it holds a military-like organization so you have officer titles and the like. What I am most familiar with is the work they do to serve and alleviate suffering throughout the 100+ nations in which they have a presence. They're certainly doing that in SLC. We may be familiar with the thrift shops, and with the kettles around the holidays, but they're also working with youth, homeless, and jobless, and those who are less fortunate. This location is their chapel and some offices. It's not lavish and it's not opulent, but it is nice, tidy, and in good repair. I had the chance to walk around a bit today and saw the chapel, library and gymnasium. I've not been for services. I spoke with their volunteer coordinator and there are certainly opportunities to serve. You can ring bells at the kettles, serve food, take Thanksgiving meals to shut-ins, and many other opportunities that are available year-round.

What a cute little farm!!!…read more My husband and I wanted to take our 1 year old son to see some farm animals up close since we were in the area last Friday. We didn't have a lot of expectations given the reviews on here but we figured we check it out for our son. We were pleasantly surprised how much fun we had! When we walked in, we were greeted by the nice staff and volunteers who told us the $4 entrance fee goes towards donations to help feed, house, and care for all the animals. We also learned that they're rescue animals. They have a variety of farm animals to feed and pet including a donkey, ponies, sheep, goats, cows, and chickens. They offer a punch card when you purchase grains to feed the animals too. Our son had so much fun with the animals. He smiled and laughed in excitement which put a huge smile on our face. Keep in mind that the farm is small but they are working hard to expand for everyone of all ages. There's a cute little rollercoaster and pony carousel. They even have a small Wild West theme town for the kids to play on. We had a great time on the farm. Definitely recommend checking this place out. We will be sure to come back again.

I find myself singing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of The Year" out loud in garden centers and making a fool of myself giggling at nurseries. It is, in a word, Spring. For the past several years I've relied on the WCG Plant Sale for all of my vegetable garden plants. I just bought a boat load of tomatoes. In fact, this is where I buy them every year. Heirlooms aplenty, and some varieties available nowhere else. Heirloom varieties of squash, melons, and other edible perennials fill the parking lot waiting to go home to be planted, cared for, and harvested. There's also a long and distinguished list of herbs for sale, and lots of great non-edible but waterwise perennials for sale. It is heaven. Springtime garden heaven. If you want the best selection, make sure to arrive early. Like, an hour early. If you're there to browse, skip the crowds and come around 9 or 10. You'll still have plenty of varieties to choose from. Plan on spending a few minutes in line, but you'll be surprised at how well they move people in and out of there. Plants are cheap (starting at $2 for the little guys) and going up from there. Cost is secondary, because this helps raise money for the awesome programs at Wasatch Community Gardens. Super fun event, great plants, nice folks, good cause. A win all the way around!
