BPAS is a wonderful facility. They take such good care of their animals, allowing them to live comfortable lives. BPAS educates the public about these animals. My children first visited in 1996 and it has been fun to see how BPAS grows and cares for the animals.

We first went to BP when my teenagers were toddlers. This sanctuary is a treasure in our area. it is wonderful to have them so close.

Black Pine Animal Sanctuary is a really great place to visit and volunteer! The animals there are well cared for and well loved. It is also encouraging to see the recycling program along with the constructed wetland septic system.

I am so proud of everyone who does so much for all the animals that are fortunate enough to get to spend the rest of their lives at Black Pine. Except for a very small staff, the sanctuary operates 365 days per year with hours and hours of volunteer time. So many people are involved in helping our animals. The whole sanctuary is build piece by piece, using the natural environment as much as possible. We reuse as much as we can and try to keep the habitats as close to natural as we can. It is a beautiful little place tucked away in rural Indiana. I am proud to help this sanctuary as much as I can.

I have visited Black Pine twice and never felt that I was in the way. The staff are passionate about careing for the animals and sharing with the public the importance of conservation and protection of the wild animals. Their education program is outstanding and interesing. I love going there. If I didn't live so far away I would be a volunteer myself.

Black Pine serves such a wonderful purpose and helps so many animals in need. They also try to teach people that exotics are WILD animals and not 'pets'. I hope that someday there is no need for such places to exist, but while they are needed, I'm SO glad Black Pine is there. The staff and volunteers are always helpful to visitors and truly care about the animals.

BPAS is a wonderful organization full of selfless people. It is obvious their hearts are deep in the interest of caring for animals in need but even more for the education of the public about exotic animals. The volunteers offer a wonderful habitat for the animals they take into their care with fun for the animals and also health needs. The recent story of the team that worked together to extract impacted teeth for Mufasa (the lion) and for the chimpanzee was amazing!

Black Pine Animal Sanctuary will always have a special place in my heart. I wish I had more time to give them and help with their worthy mission. They do so much good for so little. Those people and volunteers are true unsung heroes. I will continue to support them financially as long as I am able.

Black Pine is a wonderful organization that makes a life changing difference in the lives of misplaced exotic animals. Not only do they try and make a difference in the animals lives but also in their own community by recycling and the use of a constructed wetland-natural septic system. Everything is always put to good use at Black Pine and I am very proud to be a part of it.

Black Pine is a very special place that I am very proud to be a part of. Their organization provides a safe healthy place for these rescued animals to live out their lives. A nice balance of public education without exploitation of the animals.

I am a Homebound person who has knowledge of Black Pine only through the Internet and knowing Lori from outside contact. When she went to BPAS I became interested because I love cats, and have had one all my adult life as a pet. I have learned so much about "exotic pets" through Lori's postings and the BPAS's website and activity on Facebook. I then pass it on and share wtih my network as well. Lori and BPAS are truly making a difference in our neck of the woods!!!
