*Please note*
Currently, the sanctuary does not have a rehabilitation professional on staff and cannot accept ANY animals on-site at this time.
No matter where you live in the country, sharing our communities with wildlife is an important part of a beautiful and healthy ecosystem. However, knowing how to co-exist with nature can be a challenge and despite many good intentions, misinformation and practices often lead to unfortunate outcomes for our wildlife friends. Luckily, there are groups and professionals across the nation dedicated to helping and saving wildlife.
