We happened upon Keepers of the wild by seeing their billboard on our road trip. What a great surprise. I am a zookeeper and was excited to see these amazing habitats the animals were living in. It was nice to talk with the knowledgeable staff about the animals and their history. I would totally recommend visiting them.

Jonathan Kraft has always had a heart for animals. His Keepers of the Wild has always been a top notch animal rescue facility mainly because of his dedication and hard work. I have visited them many times and known Jonathan since 1998. I would recommend this facility and especially Mr. Kraft as one of the country's best run animal rescue organizations.

I could only put 5 stars....would have put many many more!
I love this place! It truely is a place for these beautiful creatures to live out thier lives and experience the "wild" that they were deprived of. The crew does an excellent job of caring for all these diverse animals day in and day out! I am proud to say i have had the opportunity to be a part of this place. ...aside from being a mother, this was my favorite job! The energy that is at Keepers of the wild is refreshing! My children have also been apart of this wonderful place... making foraging toys for the primates, learning about the many animals and their stories, and being educated as to how we can help when we are not at the park....(educating their friends).
Ive also had the privilege of meeting the board of director and i have to say, those people are awesome! They really care!!
Big shout out to Jonathan Kraft and Tina Matejek....just two of the badasses that have worked their butts off to make the sanctuary what it is, and ive enjoyed the times i got to work with these two and pick their brains. Fun times!!!Both are very intelligent humans and im honored to know them. Also to the behind the scenes people that i adore...
Nicole, Labre, Diane, Linda...and all the volunteers that contribute to the wellbeing of these beautiful creatures. They are doing an amazing job. Keep up the awesome work. Its a great place to spend the day!!!
