Whether you know them as Bonar's Funny Farm, Black Pine Exotics or now, Black Pine Animal Park aka Professional Animal Retirement Center (PARC) You know them for the history of simply helping animals who cannot help themselves. Not only do they make it possible for "retired" animals to live out their days in good health and happiness, they are also first to help other non-profits in their fundraising. This special center allows children to become closely aquainted with the animals and helps them to understand the importance of caring for these animals respectfully. They give them the dignity that they may never have had in their "performing" years. Thank you to all of the volunteers at Black Pine that make it possible for us to enjoy these beautiful creatures.
The Great!

Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
have to shovel alot of poo. Literally.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The fact that they continue to give back to their community. Paying it forward.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Generous, informative, helpful and kind.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Rescue and care for all retired animals. Now there is a dream come true!
Ways to make it better...
I could've spent more time there.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Eventually running out of room to care for these animals. They will find a way to grow again.
One thing I'd also say is that...
You should visit Black Pine, you will never forget it. Wonderful organization!!
