Eureka Springs Nonprofits and Charities

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge offers so much, to animals and guests alike. <br>This is a forever home to abused and neglected wild animals who have endured unthinkable pasts. Habitats are spacious and welcoming, with soft grass to run in, benches to relax on, swimming pools, climate controlled dens, and enrichment to stimulate the senses and encourage socialization and natural instincts. Animals receive specialized veterinary care, individually tailored nutritious diets and supplements, as well as operant conditioning. Each animal's needs are a top priority. The animals are happy and healthy, and can often be seen interacting with each other, running together along the fence line and stalking from behind trees and swimming pools. Staff are dedicated to the well being of the animals in their charge. The transformations seen in the animals are amazing, as they learn how to trust, and be loved. <br>Tours are informative, and tell amazing stories of rescue to refuge. It's impossible not to fall in love with these beautiful souls. Every visit is an educational experience, opening eyes and minds to the exotic cat crisis, and offering opportunities to advocate and be a voice for captive wild animals. <br>Nestled in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains, TCWR is an oasis for their 120+ residents, as well as guests. Lodging options are amazing! There is nothing quite like sitting on your front porch and watching tigers play, and listening to lions carol. Where else can you look out your bedroom window and see a tiger? <br>This is a beautiful true sanctuary, where healing takes place, in so many ways.

When we first moved to Eureka we lived in a tent. My son went to Eureka Kids every day that summer. He always came back happy. Eureka Kids made sure that we had groceries,money for the laundry and when we had saved enough money for an apt helped get us furniture and get us moved in. No matter what it was we needed or when we needed it, Ms. Barb helped us figure it out. We never could have gotten our first apt or figured out all the rules for ArKids if it were not for them.
