We have a surprise! We will have another drop of Little Dude quill necklaces that will be available in January! As you know, he does not shed in the winter months, so we likely won’t have more jewelry until late spring or early summer, but we were able to use the quills that were either too big for bracelets or not enough for bracelets, and turn them into stunning necklaces!  We will have a wide variety, different color beaded necklaces, and also minimalistic necklaces among others. Make sure to keep your eyes out and we’ll keep you all updated!

Everybody meet Hopscotch, the gopher tortoise! He just arrived to the sanctuary from , who did an amazing job rehabbing him after a severe dog attack. He lost one of his front arms due to the attack, and the other one received tendon damage. Because of this, he is not able to dig his own burrow, and would not survive in the wild. We are very happy to give him a home here, and we are excited that he will be an educational animal🐢❤️

Yuè the fox is loving her turkey neck! We have 6 foxes, 4 red foxes and 2 fennec foxes that live at the sanctuary. They all eat high quality meat grinds (turkey, rabbit, lamb, chicken, duck) and whole prey. Proper diet is very important for animals, especially for animals like the 4 red foxes that were born at a fur farm. They are heavily in**ed and can have many genetic and health issues because of this. Today we bought $260 worth of fox food which should last us one month. Can you help us cover this cost?🦊

Good night (or good morning rather) from Caloosa the owl! She is our non releasable barred owl with a permanent wing injury and glaucoma. She gets eye drops twice a day!

We are incredibly grateful for every single person who supports our wildlife sanctuary. Every donation, whether given online, by check, in person, or anonymously, directly helps us provide food, medical care, and a safe home for the animals who depend on us.

Because the administration side of the sanctuary is run solely by Chris and me, and our days are spent caring for the animals from morning until night, it isn’t always possible for us to personally acknowledge every single donation with an individual message or letter. Please know that this is never due to a lack of appreciation. Quite the opposite, your generosity means the world to us and we truly could not do this work without you.
If you have ever donated and didn’t receive a personal thank you, please accept our heartfelt gratitude and apologies here. Every gift is seen, felt, and put directly to work for the animals we love so dearly.

I really wish that we were able to individually thank every single person with a letter, or an email, and hopefully one day we will have a huge organization with dozens of staff and volunteers to help us, but unfortunately right now it’s impossible for us to do with just two people. 
Thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of this sanctuary family

Prickles the prehensile tailed porcupine showing off her skills! Look at that tail! Their tail acts like a fifth appendage, grasping onto tree branches. They are excellent climbers.
