I went last year on one of the last "Wild Nights" of Summer. I really enjoyed it! there were not alot of people there at the time , the volunteers were very friendly and helpful. I had the opportunity to hear the grey wolves start to howl and become active, they were amazing, it sent good chills down my spine. as I walked furthur on the elevated path I also had the chance to hear the lions start to roar and cummunicate, I couldnt believe how loud and clear they were. At one point they were fed just before we got to their area and i could hear them purr, what an amazing sound, just like a happy little kitty only a huge lion. I was impressed and planning on continuing my support by returning. We will be back to visit with friends and family to show our support. What a class act and amazing place! I full heartedlty recommend that you go here to support a excellent cause. Please go here before you go to a zoo, you will find the animals in a more natural environment- i promise! i HAVE NEVER SEEN MORE HEALTHIER ANIMALS IN A KEPT ENVIRONMENT- KUDOS TO YOU FOLKS OUT THERE!

This organization is truly awe inspiring. They provide large acreage habituates for the animals after being abused and living in tiny, confined cages for most of their lives. They bring these animals back from hell and give them a safe, loving environment as close to being wild as possible. The animals are well taken care of as they should be. Thank you for all you do.

Pat Craig and his staff are truly inspirational. Pat has dedicated his life to the rescue and improvement of wild animals who have been subjected to cruel and unnatural lives at the hands of humans who have no humanity. The sanctuary provides as natural as possible new lives for hundreds of tigers, lions, bears, wolves and other exotic animals. Pat and all of the great volunteers care deeply about the guardianship of these animals who have suffered severely in the hands of ignorant and greed driven people in their previous lives. During my many visits there you see happy volunteers and happy animals joined in nature and in respect of each other.

The work that Pat Craig and his staff of volunteers perform in order to provide wild animals with more fulfilling lives in natural habitats is beyond comprehension. These "angels of the animals" live breathe eat and sleep with overwhelming concern for their four legged friends.
I am proud to be a supporter of this organization and appreciate their dedication and love for these wild animals. The sanctuary is one of the top places that I suggest to people to visit and bring my out of state visitors to. There is no way that anyone can visit the sanctuary and not be touched by the love and devotion that is given to these animals.

I have been impressed by the growth and continued excellence of care of the Wild Animal Sanctuary throughout the years. A visit to the sanctuary changes your life and makes you aware of how we as humans need to respect the lives of our wild animal friends

Figure out a way to provide more land to them for continued growth and make sure that future development does not adversely affect their efforts

This place is heaven to wild animals that have been misbused by humans. Pat Craig is a wonderful caring man and has made this place safe for all these poor babies that had such horrible lives before coming here. I have been donating for close to 10 years and know my money goes directly to the animals care or future rescues. A super tranquil happy place for these creatures of God. I just wish I could win the power ball and could donate even more money for him to rescue more deserving animals. When I started he had 155 now he has close to 300. It is his total life's work, he has sacrificed so much to be able to care for these beautiful creatures. Would give a 5 star rating.

I first started donating to them when they were faced with a funding shortage and having to possibly put down all the wonder animals that they had rescued. At that point around 155 wonderful exotic animals. We wrote letters like crazy asking for donations and ended up saving this wonderful place that now has an additional 100 rescues and still counting. You can always be assured that your donation is put to the best use as this place. Everything goes for the animals. These poor animals have finally been rescued from horrible lives and it is wonderful now to visit them and see the great difference Pat Craig and staff have made in their lives. Pat is a trully remarkable and caring man. It is like heaven for them there now and heaven to visit them and see the incredible changes in these majestic animals.

I first became involved with this great place when they were facing the horrible possiblity of closing due to funding problems and possibly having to euthanize these wonderful creatures. Luckily they were all saved and Pat has gone on to rescue even more animals. This place quickly took over a large place in my heart. I love the animals, Pat and all the people connected to this marvelous place. If you want a place you can donate with confidence that your money is being used wisely, this is it. I have adopted several animals and continue to help with other items as I can. If I were able, I would love to be a more active volunteer, but due to health constrainsts cannot. I keep urging Pat to write a book profiling his life and all the great rescues he has been on. This place is for the animals and is truly the most peaceful place I have been.

You can see what wonderful care has been given to each severely abused animal and the love Pat has for every one of them. They are all his babies.

Win the power ball so I could donate more money and Pat could save even more of these misbused animals.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keensberg, Colorado has made every effort possible to give the best care to the animals. Improvements are being made constantly to provide safe living conditions and enriching experiences for each animal.

When we put animals in an artificial environment, their lives should be better than if they were free. That is a hard thing to accomplish. While the animals are well cared , for my concern is open space , in many cases it is very limited -e.g.white tigers - no room to run or climb. Things are starting to get crowded. There will come a time when there are too many animals for the land.

We visited the wildlife sanctuary today for the first time. It has been on the to do list for awhile now and I'm only sorry we haven't made this a regular part of our "things to do" list on a regular basis. The cause is noble of course but when you see the animals so content and at home at the sanctuary and you read their histories, the noble cause becomes a part of you. We will continue to support the animals and this special place with regular visits.

We loved our visit to the Wild Animal Sanctuary here in Colorado. It was a very educational and inspirational visit. We plan to support them and spread the word as much as possible.

This is an inspirational organization dedicated to animal welfare and "human" animal education. It is the selfless devotion of Pat Craig and his family that makes this organization what it is.
