Mission and programs · 2024
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 $301,410

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.
Expenses $141,303

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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
