Very small but nice staff. You can tour the sanctuary in about an hour. No real store on site and no food for sale. A lot of the same rescued animals. Staff are knowledgeable and give you great background as you engage in the walk

It was really cool to see all these exotic animals with my daughter unfortunately we have two big of hearts just to see them in cages knowing that they wouldn't make it in the wild it's a sanctuary.. me and my daughter wear a heart on our sleeves and we feel like they just still seem sad but it is awesome place to go and check out with the family you know give to the animals by donating if able to

The fire missed them. They at the moment are safe. The staff does have an evacuation plan in place. At this time the staff are doing all they can to keep the animals comfortable.

Sheryl Scheer | Sep 13, 2019

They do have some birds mostly parrots.

We can be there the first of August, is that a good time. Should we bring a lunch and drinks. Is there a place for that? Gerry Baptista

It is. But there is gravel in the parking lot. And it is mostly dirt and grass trails. We enjoy doing there. And knowing that all proceeds go to helping with the vet bills and feeding them!

Is it extra $$ to interact and hold the cubs/animals

elena gutierrez | Sep 13, 2018
Chris Baxter | Sep 13, 2018

There is no touching or holding of the animals. Most if not all of the animals are there because they are in some sort of rehabilitation or there old. Its not a petting zoo. They are wild animals!

Why are the animals kept in tiny cages? I thought this was a sanctuary.

Pamela Schneider | Sep 13, 2018
Harrison Montague | Sep 13, 2018

A sanctuary means that they've been taken out of potentially dangerous situations and moved into a safer environment.
