If you’ve been to our park in the last few weeks, you’ve probably noticed two of our large enclosures sitting empty. We’re hoping to have them filled by spring, but first, we want to make a few upgrades to get these spaces looking and feeling as good as new.

As the upgrades wrap up, we’ll start looking for animals in need of a new home that could be a good fit for these spaces. Every animal we take in has lived in captivity and, for one reason or another, cannot be returned to the wild.

Until then, we want to hear from you! What future resident are you hoping to see call one of these enclosures home?

I think you’d call this a reverse mohawk? 🤔

Pretty soon, all of their white will be gone, they’ll look half their current size, and they’ll be completely grey, helping them blend right in with the gravel.

We make plans, prepare, and train for natural disasters and other events that could require an evacuation, but moving all of our residents would be no small feat. A small, crate-trained fox is one thing, but safely relocating a 550-pound tiger is a whole different challenge.

We’re incredibly grateful that we didn’t have to evacuate during the recent fires and that our animals were only minimally affected by the smoke.

Throughout August, we’re offering free admission to families displaced by the fires and all first responders. If you need a quiet place to spend time with your family or just a break from everything, our doors are open. We know this has been an incredibly difficult season for our community, and we hope this can bring even a small moment of peace ❤️
