Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
Our mission is simple yet profound: Wildlife Rescue, Compassionate Care, and Education Ambassadorship. We provide our rescued wildlife with the best second chance at life. We accomplish this through safe and professional animal care while advocating for animal conservation and responsible ownership. By ensuring the animals' physical, mental, and emotional needs, we can better educate our guests and community about our animals and the importance of conservation for their species.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Zoological Park providing a safe forever home for rescued, retired, or non-releasable exotic animals & wildlife. Out-of-School learning center for K-College specializing in wildlife and conservation education.
-
Our organization has secured and maintained over 40 animals, including large felines, bears, wolves, and other zoo and wildlife species. Our comprehensive care program includes the provision of species-appropriate nutrition, essential supplies, dedicated staffing, and specialized veterinary care, underscoring our commitment to the welfare of these animals. This initiative offers a secure and nurturing forever home for rescued, retired, and non-releasable animals, ensuring their health, safety, and well-being. Our efforts provide sanctuary for these animals and embody our dedication to conservation and the promotion of responsible wildlife management.
Expenses $254,230 · Grants $6,700
-
Our program is dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and species-appropriate habitats for our animals, focusing on the innovative use of available resources to construct and maintain housing and exhibits. Leveraging carefully selected materials, along with donated tools and supplies, we strive to create environments that meet our animals' basic needs and promote their well-being and natural behaviors. Our approach is guided by a deep commitment to animal welfare, ensuring that, despite budgetary limitations, each habitat we construct or maintain offers a secure and enriching space. This effort underscores our dedication to maximizing every dollar towards enhancing the living conditions of our animals, demonstrating our resolve to provide them with a sanctuary that respects their needs and dignity.
Expenses $74,570

Our third program service enriches the community through engaging on-site experiences for public visitors, meticulously designed to be educational and safe. We prioritize our guests and staff's health and well-being by investing in essential protective gear, rigorous sanitation practices, and clear signage, along with constructing barriers where needed to ensure a secure environment for all. Additionally, we serve as a dynamic out-of-school learning hub catering to students from kindergarten through college. Our specialized wildlife and conservation education programs aim to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. By offering a hands-on, immersive learning experience, we bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world conservation challenges, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for wildlife and their habitats. Our commitment extends beyond mere visits; we cultivate a community deeply invested in preserving our natural world.
