We need your support as we pursue our mission to educate people about responsible pet ownership. Our goal is that no animal is adopted without thorough research and deep consideration of the lifetime commitment.
We rely on donations and our fundraisers to help us feed, shelter, and care for our hundreds of animal residents. Your donation gains you entry into our sanctuary to enjoy a self-guided tour. Bring your lunch or cooler and enjoy the day !
Please reserve your spot with us here online, OR pay at the window when you arrive. We accept cash and card.
Included during Sanctuary Support: On Saturdays and Sundays $1 feed cups are available so you can feed the goats and/or ducks and geese!
