In Harmony With Nature Wolf Sanctuary

I have been volunteering at In Harmony With Nature for 14 years. This has been one of the greatest blessings and opportunities in my life.

I was a teacher and an assistant principal in Orange County schools for 35 years. Once I retired, I wanted to find a place to volunteer. With my background in education and leadership I was able to recognize the invaluable traits of leadership that the director, Kim Kapes, exudes. Not only does she have a heart for the animals and volunteers, but her background in animal training and in firefighting has set her up to be a successful director of the sanctuary.

Kim works tirelessly at the rescue 24 seven! I have never seen anyone with the dedication that she has, not only for the animals and their quality of life, but also for the volunteers and their safety and satisfaction.

Not only do we serve the animals in our sanctuary, but we also work with OCAS in the rescue of animals and also with other counties, when emergencies come up. Our networking within the state is quite expansive.

As the volunteer trainer, I have had the opportunity to work directly with Kim, in not only training the volunteers, but also in grant writing, animal rescue, and in maintaining the facility standards required by the Florida fish and wildlife that are required for our sanctuary.

I have also been trained in feeding the animals. We get our food from second harvest in Orlando and trust me when I say that our wolves and Wolf dogs eat better than I do! They get quality roast, steaks, ham, hamburger, chicken and fish! And this quality food is given daily!

As the volunteer trainer, a program has been developed that requires 50 hours of basic training to be a new volunteer. The volunteers are also required to pass a safety quiz. We are very serious about the safety of our volunteers and the quality of care our animals receive, therefore our program reflects this intent.

In Harmony With Nature is a wonderful 501(c)(3) nonprofit! I am proud to call In Harmony With Nature my second home❤️

I volunteered at this sanctuary for a little over 2 years, and would still be there if I hadn't moved a little too far away. I still donate money when I can and send supplies through Amazon on occasion. These wolves and wolfdogs are well loved and cared for. They aren't bred as someone else said and they certainly aren't fed food from the dumpster. Those are blatant lies. The director and all of the volunteers take good care of these animals, providing love and enrichment for them. I miss them dearly.

This sanctuary is amazing! Kim and all the amazing volunteers there have a deep love for this beautiful God given animal. It shows in the hard work and relationships they build for the wolves and being apart of that for a time when volunteering is one the highlights of my life. So blessed to know and always be connected to his wonderful community.

I volunteered at IHWN for 11+ years and have never met a group of people more dedicated to the good health and well being of animals, not just at the sanctuary, but everywhere. If you ever get a chance to meet the animals and the people that care for them at this amazing place you will be forever blessed.

I previously wrote a review several years ago when I started volunteering. I would like to expand on that. I volunteered with In Harmony for close to 8 years and 1000 hours before moving to Colorado to advance my career. In my last year of volunteering I drove almost three hours to continue volunteering with the people and animals I developed the most special bond with. In my time there I never saw any breeding of animals and especially not "involuntary breeding " as suggested in a couple recent reviews. The animals definitely did not eat "dumpster meat" as also suggested. In my time volunteering I never felt unappreciated for my work and if I did I would have not continued to volunteer for as long as I did. If I still lived in Florida I would still volunteer. No matter what was going on in my own life I was never made to feel like I wasn't valued. Kim has dedicated her life to the love and care of these animals and to helping the volunteers with whatever resources she can. Any negative review of this organization has been fabricated by people who have no idea what goes on on the property. There have been no abuse investigations by the county in my time volunteering and any previous investigations were disproven nearly a decade ago. This place saved my life and mental health on numerous occasions and the animals are the loves of my life ������������. The animals receive the utmost love and care by everyone connected to tbe charity. Any negative reviews are posted by people with personal ill intent and have been falsified and are not a representation of this organization whatsoever.

Kim and the In Harmony With Nature family go above and beyond to save lives. I have experienced multiple instances where animals with no hope, facing death, were saved because of Kim's endless compassion and because of the absolute dedication of In Harmony. When all hope has seemed lost, I have personally witnessed In Harmony do whatever it takes to come up with a solution to ensure the animals involved have a chance at the wonderful life they deserve.

In Harmony With Nature Wolf Sanctuary is one of the most inspiring and compassionate places I’ve ever had the privilege of visiting. The care and dedication shown to the animals here is absolutely unparalleled. Every resident, whether wolfdog, wolf, or any other species, receives top-tier care, enrichment, and attention.

Director Kim Kapes pours her heart and soul into this sanctuary, and it’s evident in every detail. She puts the animals first in every decision, ensuring they have species-appropriate diets, outstanding medical care, and the emotional and mental stimulation they need to thrive. Her commitment goes far beyond the basics—she truly understands these animals on a deep level and advocates for them with unmatched passion.

The environment at In Harmony With Nature is peaceful, respectful, and centered on what’s best for the animals. You can feel the love and intention behind every enclosure, every enrichment item, and every interaction. It’s not just a rescue, it’s a lifelong promise to give these animals the best life possible.

I can’t say enough good things about this incredible place. If you’re looking to support a sanctuary that truly walks the walk when it comes to animal welfare, this is it.

My connection to In Harmony With Nature was a huge disappointment to say the least! I was a volunteer there for a while. The owner definitely plays favorites with the volunteers who help there. Unfortunately, I was not one of them. I was sorely mistaken when I considered the owner, Kim Kapes, to be a friend. She is not, except for a few chosed people who volunteer there. Now, to be fair, she did do a few things for me: to wit: When I moved she took in a few of my cats that I was unable to take to my new location, two of whom I collected; there are two left. She took in two cats from another location as they would not have survived remaining after I moved. She helped with two veterinary visits, for which I instructed her to advise me of their cost so that I could reimburse her; On occasion, she provided me with some cat litter and cat foor (that she collects at no charge from Chewy in Ocala). Here is what I did for her and her organization: I DONATED A TOTAL OF $6,000 to her facility! I donated new fans for the cat room because the airconditining was so bad and inhumane for animals! I donated a freezer; a refrigerator freezer; a video surveillance set up (which she never installed); a weather radio which is necessary especially during hurricane season (which as of the last time I was there was gone!) I wanted the cats in the cat room to at least have some music as this is their home! But NO, it was gone! I donated a number of high end flashlights, for emergency use, and as of the last time I was there, they were gone! Everytime I went to this particular store, I would bring the owner a grocery store bag with many healthy food items that I knew she could never afford! Even though I get a discount on these things, it was money out of my pocket. THESE PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY THE OWNER, KIM KAPES, appreciate exactly NOTHING! The respect exactly NOTHING or the radio, fans, flashlights wouOh, and the inside of the building of the facility is a complete mess!! It was cleaned up one time since I had been going there, then it was back to a dump again. The owner, loves the animals, BUT she needs to have a little more respect for people, other than those few she calls her friend! Obviously, I was never one of them. Before you do anything for this organization, just know that you will never be considered a "friend"....they will take whatever you have to offer, but don't expect respect in return. If you're okay with that, have at it! Just to be clear, there is NO ONE, EVER, who can't find five minutes to let another human being know they exist! But not this woman! Another friend of mine asked "Does she eat? Doesn't she have a few minutes while she's eating?" Apparently not! My goal is to let people know what you are donating to and how you will be treated.

These wolves are poorly taken care for and they are being involuntary bred. The county is investigating this animal abuse and neglect. The entire town is aware and urges everyone to report this fake sanctuary

This is not a sanctuary. The owner carelessly allows the hybrid wolves and wolves breed and make new puppies that are not “re-homed”. This is a false sanctuary with wild animals who are kept in small enclosures and are fed expired food from Walmart dumpsters. Thanks to an insider close to the location/property there is photo and video proof. Very poor care and the animals cry all day and all night.

In Harmony With Nature is awesome . Helping with the animals in need , not just wolves but dogs, cats and turtles and any our creatures that make it there are definitely safe . I myself enjoy being apart of something so fulfilling. These animals need and deserve all the love and care we can give them . I’m glad I’m a small part of making their lives better.

In harmony with Nature is truly a special place with the most beautiful animals. The love and care that is provided is second to none and it shows! The passion and dedication is always on full display by members involved which contributes to the amazing energy you feel when there.

I love animals and another volunteer told me about In Harmony with Nature! I was so excited to meet the wolves and see the facility when I got my tour and introduction to the venue! The volunteer coordinator was very thorough and explained all aspects of the facility. The director is very knowledgeable about all animals and the wolves respond to her like she is the Dr Doolittle of wolves! It’s a wonderful facility ran by a director that is caring of not only the wolves but the volunteers as well❤️

I have been volunteering for many years now. My soul is enriched by the animals and volunteers.

I have been a volunteer here for 7yrs. There is no other place I would be. The amount of love caring, and understanding is amazing. Our wolves and wolfdogs are being cared for by so many loving volunteers and our amazing director. This is a home away from home.

IHWN is an incredibly beautiful haven for its inhabitants, volunteers and visitors. Kim Kapes works lovingly and endlessly to better the lives of the animals and better educate the community about abuse, neglect and the balance of the ecosystem

I have had the honor of working with In Harmony with Nature and with Kim. They do wonderful work with taking care of all the animals and education the community.

In Harmony with Nature cares for both body and minds of their animals. It's a well needed rescue that helps so many animals like cats, tortoises, wolves and wolf dogs. I look forward to volunteering there every Sat. and am going on 1 year there.

Phenomenally giving volunteers and organization,. They are doing tremendous work with animals that, frankly, are demonized and hunted in mos places they are allowed to exist.

I have been following this rescue on facebook for awhile now. I love the work they do saving wolves and wolf dogs. My dream woukd be to one day open a rescue similar to them.

This organization provides an amazing environment for the animals in their care. If I were a wolf dog I would want to live here!

In Harmony with Nature is one of the most caring and hard-working non-profits I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. The volunteers work together for the greater good of all of the animals, and all species are treated with respect. Kim takes a very holistic approach to the animals and treats each volunteer like family. Being a volunteer for IHWN holds some of my fondest memories and the bonds I made with the wolves and wolf-dogs will stay with me forever.

They helped me find my best boy Saber 10 years ago. And though he just recently left us for the rainbow bridge, I’ll be forever grateful to IHWN and the volunteers.

IHWN is an amazing non profit who cares for the animals on property. Their goal is to care for their and treat with kindness while educating the public when visitors arrive. They are open to teaching about the health and care of the animals and what to ensure they provide the best possible. All the animals are happy. We love visiting this place and always want to help them achieve their goals.

In Harmony with Nature Animal Haven, is such an incredible place! It is a sanctuary for all the animals that live there and for the people that volunteer there. The director, Kim, leads with such love, grace and strength. He care is always first and foremost for the happiness and safety of the animal. It is an honor to be associated with IHWN.

I have been here for years now. Come visit and experience the healing peace that the animals and volunteers bring. Nothing like it.

Volunteering at IHWN has been such a humbling experience! Every animal is cared for with such focus to comfort & making sure their lives are enriched every day!

An amazing organization. The animals are happy and so clearly well cared for. Everyone is welcoming and always available to help. There's always something new to learn about here and seeing the enrichment these animals receive is wonderful. Amazing sanctuary for wolves and wolf dogs.

Nicest bunch of people. They have huge ❤️‘S and much love for the Critters. I’m certain when God checks in on them He has a Big Smile on His Face. Love you all. Tom

I am a volunteer at this sanctuary and it truly is a wonderful place. All the animals are happy and well taken care of. The rest of the volunteers and owner pours a lot of the heart and soul into taking care of the animals. I am so happy to be Abel to be apart of this sanctuary and take care of all the animals we currently have on the property.

IHWN is the most amazing Sanctuary. The animals we get are given a lifetime of safety, shelter, love and forever friendships! I am so proud to be a part of their mission!

Great sanctuary in Central Florida that does great work for the wolves, wolfdogs, cats, and reptiles in the community!

I have been volunteering at IHWN for the past 18 months and it has been the most rewarding experience of my life! Getting to work along side the legendary Kim Kapes is a dream! Kim is the most wonderful soul who dedicates every second of every day to the well-being of the animals. Every animal at IHWN is loved by Kim and all us volunteers, and we like to believe they love us back! There is nothing we wouldn’t do for them and Kim!

This sanctuary is all about the animals! I volunteer there and the sense of community and love for animals is evident. It is truly a sanctuary and I am blessed to be a part of it.

In Harmony With Nature has an amazing staff of HIGHLY benevolent caretakers of stunning a well loved wolves, and a variety of other species of animals. A clean, well organized beautiful sanctuary.

I have volunteered at In Harmony with Nature Animal Haven for several years.

The animals teach me patience and kindness.

been volunteering here almost 9 months and it’s been one of the best experiences i’ve ever had. the wolves and dogs and everything in between (and the people who volunteer here!) have taught me so much about these creatures and how to coexist and love them. every week there’s something new to learn and i’m so grateful to Kim for the rescue and all i’m allowed to experience here and the opportunity to assist the animals for whatever they need to thrive in their lil home.

My children recently volunteered here. It’s a wonderful animal haven with very friendly staff. What a great program for our community!

I adopted one of their rescues. They work so hard rescuing the unwanted, and abused.

This place is amazing the work they do to keep the animals safe and very healthy

I first learned of In Harmony With Nature from my cousin who volunteered there. When we decided to adopt another dog, we found our Fiesty there. He was a scared little puppy who tried to go back into the shelter as soon as my cousin let him out to meet us and our dog Starley. When Fiesty met Starley, though, they bonded instantly and played together while we talked to Kim and my cousin. We found out that Kim had rescued Fiesty from a high kill shelter and she knew that since he was a black pitbull mix, even though he was just a puppy, he would not last long at that shelter. We will always be grateful to Kim for that, Fiesty is an amazing, loveable dog who is now part of our family. Kim and the volunteers work hard every day to make a home for the animals they have rescued and In Harmony With Nature is a wonderful sanctuary.

IHWN is amazing. I signed up to volunteer extremely nervous, wanting to help animals but with little experience beyond my own pets. I was warmly invited to the sanctuary to safely meet the wolves and other animals, learn about the sanctuary’s mission, and decide whether volunteering was right for me. I immediately knew that it was. Since then I have been welcomed into an incredible world where everything is done with heart and safety in mind. It is amazing to be able to volunteer and put the needs of an animal before my own, to be taught by such kind people who value not only the safety and well-being of the animals, but the safety and well-being of their volunteers. Every day that I volunteer at this sanctuary I feel that I am enriching the lives of the animals I help take care of, and in turn they are enriching mine.

Great People Great Animals !
Well Taken care of Enclosures Safe Nice and clean !

I have been fascinated by wolves for as long as I can remember..My home has always been decorated with wolf totems and figurines..and my body with T shirts and tattoos ...I was the easiest person in the world to shop for because it was a wolf I would love it. Over the years I have sponsored wolves..watched documentaries..bought lots of calendars..but I have been given the most extraordinary wolf gift of all by being allowed to care for them . I am supposed to be enriching their lives but they are enriching mine.
I became a volunteer earlier this year and every time I arrive I feel like pinching myself to make sure it is real..am I really being allowed this fantastical privilege.. me? IHWN has breathed new life into this woman..a woman who again believes that anything is possible..that is is never too late to realize childhood dreams.
Thank you everyone...from Kim to Kenai..from Jane to Junior..for welcoming me to the pack

This is a wonderful place to volunteer at. The owner and all of the volunteers create a great and pleasant atmosphere while always putting the animals first. I’ve learned a great deal about the animals I work with in the time I’ve been volunteering. I truly appreciate the chance to experience working with these incredible animals first hand with the support of a highly knowledge staff.

I always knew that I had more waiting for me... Being fairly young, disabled, and with not but a few house chores a day, I was lost and without purpose. IHWN helped me get a sense of joy back. I now have something and many someones to look forward to. Thanks for giving me a sense of purpose back.

In Harmony with Nature (IHWN) never fails to amaze me. The care they take for their animals is unmatched! I have had the pleasure to volunteer with them and have felt the love of their family. So glad the community has them.

Truly a great place for rescued wolves and wolfdogs to live out their years in peace.

Two time cancer survivor and I love it at In Harmony with Nature. The peace and love just flows through you ❤️������

Although the property is a stone's throw from a major road intersection, it's quiet, shaded by numerous tall old trees, and feels like your elderly grandparents' back yard. This shelter houses wolves, wolf dogs, pigs, tortoises and a large group of cats. The cats, for all intents and purposes, have their own house. All the canines have enclosures big enough for them to run a bit. The staff are loving, patient, passionate and dedicated. The residents receive medical care, love, good food, play, enrichment and love. They do all this with an all-volunteer staff and a miniscule budget. The best thing to see there are the expressions of love and happiness on the facss and in the behaviors of all the 2- and 4-footed denizens. Every resident is able to live a safe, healthy and stressless life until iit's time to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

I have been a volunteer at this amazing place for 2 years now. I cant speak enough about how important it is to educate the public about the requirements and needs of exotic animals like wolves, tortoises, or even piggies. And how they also need to have a place to go when someone decides that owning one is no longer something they are willing to commit to. The people who volunteer here believe in supporting these animals by providing them the best chance with love, patience, and respect. This is a small non-profit, but it has an important message and a lot to teach its community and volunteers.

A more caring place for animals to live or transition from you couldn’t find. All the volunteers give love and attention to every resident and make sure their needs are met. We adopted a kitten so out other rescue cat would have a friend and they were matched up perfectly! I wish we were able to adopt other animals because I know their coming from a place that has made them feel safe.

In Harmony with Nature is really a special place. It is run off of donations and volunteer work. Not only is it an amazing place for wolves and wolfdogs, there's cats, dogs and tortoises that have made home here. Volunteering has been so much fun, it's really a loving environment for the animals. But it's also not just good for the animals, it's a good atmosphere to volunteer in. I've made some great friends a long the way and you can tell the people really care. I am proud to call myself a volunteer at the organization.

It's hard to believe I have volunteered at IHWN for 8 years!! This is an amazing Sanctuary that focuses on the natural well being of the animals. Wolves, dogs, cats, tortoises and even a pig!!
The animals are cared for and loved for the duration of their lives. The facility is a beautiful area tucked beneath Florida oaks and provides the animals with a shady, serene environment. The director, Kim Kapes, is dedicated 24/7 to overseeing the welfare of the animals. From the smallest lizard to the largest wolf..... each animal receives 5 star care!

This is a great place for the animals that end up here and some never leave (wolves, wolfdogs, tortoises, cats). They are well taken care of and loved. The sanctuary keeps its gates open to animals in need through donations and the hundreds of hours of time from dedicated volunteers and the Director Kim.

Wonderful organization. Adopted 2 dogs from IHWN a few years back, the first a border collie mix and the second a lab/golden retriever mix. Kim made sure both had personalities that would fit into my lifestyle and was always willing to help with any questions.

In Harmony with Nature is an amazing sanctuary and each and every staff member and volunteer cares deeply for the animals they care for. The grounds are well cared for and the animals enjoy treats like toys and enrichment boxes. It's always amazing seeing them interact.

Very committed to their animals! Its not just that their heart is in the right place, but they strategize their care for the animals in a way that always puts the animal and their quality of life above everything else. I’m constantly impressed with how much thought, effort, and collaboration goes into making this place a truly amazing sanctuary!

Beautiful sanctuary and dedicated staff. Definitely passionate

I was searching for a way to give back to the community, with a unique experience. I found this small, local haven, with a speciality in exotic animals- primarily wolves. I have to say the people are friendly, the animals are amazing, and it's a positive, one-of-a-kind place. I definitely made the right choice by volunteering with them.

Wonderful place that does wonderful things for a lot of animals in need. It’s an honor to help them so their thing.

This organization is truly amazing and inspirational. Kim Kapes, the founder and director, is incredibly knowledgeable about the behavior of animals, specifically wolves, wolf hybrids, and dogs. The way she and all of the volunteers work, puts out a great atmosphere for the animals living there, filled with plenty of enrichment and activity and safety. I have been volunteering my time there for a little over a year and I couldn’t be more proud to share this nonprofit with the greater Orlando area and world. They take the safety and care of the animals first and foremost which is truly awesome to see; always making sure each volunteer is well prepared before assisting in any way and that every enclosure is completely secure at all times. All the volunteers that I have worked with are so kind and care so much about the animals and people, always going above and beyond to make sure everything gets done around the property. As a nonprofit, fundraising is so extremely important and is always appreciated, so if you can’t find the time to volunteer maybe think about donating even just a couple dollars to help us keep the animals happy and the enclosures secure.

Wonderful and devoted people. I have a great time a couple years ago when I visit the sanctuary.

Ive been to a few charity events hosted by In Harmony with Nature at orlando brewing and carmel. There I've met wonderful and passionate volunteers who truly care about the health and wellbeing of their animals.

Thank you so much for all your help with the voiceless

When we start looking to adopt a new pet, we look and research a lot of places. In Harmony with Nature animal haven was the only one that we found that truly put the wellbeing of the animals above everything. In the couple times we went to to meet and interact with our prospect pets, the place was always peaceful and all the animals ( no mather the species ) were happy , relax and well taken care off. We end adopting two wonderful dogs that had become part of our family.

I've been with this unique and wonderful rescue since 2010! As one of the adoption coordinator's I've had the honor to witness the joy of bringing a dog or cat to their forever home, and witness that dog or cat become a member of their new family, and to bring them love and joy!❤️ We've found homes for hundreds of homeless animals, and given sanctuary to surrendered wolfdogs as well.
Please consider supporting us so we can keep helping the animals in our community.

I have been volunteering at In Harmony with Nature for about a year. During that time, I have learned a lot about wolves.

Kim, director, has shown me how to respect the lives of all animals. She has shared her love of animals with us.

I have been a volunteer at In Harmony With Nature Animal Haven for over 3 years. At first I was just taking care of our cats - of which there are quite a few. Presently I am also the Volunteer Fundraising Coordinator. Further on I realized there was so much more to be done on a daily basis with all of our wolves, wolf dogs and other animals at the "Sanctuary" as we refer to it. We are a closed facility - not open to the public. The need for donations is crucial to our continued help and safe and secure facility. Please check out our website to see the great work done at In Harmony With Nature Animal Haven.

I really enjoy helping out once a Week with cats , dogs and wolf dogs ! I love creating g bonds with certain animals and I so enjoy when they get adopted and find a forever home that they deserve .

I adopted my first dog from here and they were so nice and patient with guiding me in the right directions on how to raise a puppy. They were always available to text/email with any questions I had. They even helped pay her vet Bills after she got sick and I couldn't afford it all myself. This is a wonderful placd filled with great people to always there for you!

We had a good time visiting here. I was really happy with the educational component. We definitely felt more connected!

We have known Kim Kapes now for approx 6 months and have been so very impressed with her knowledge and expertise of the wolves and wolfdogs she rescues. What an amazing endeavor to run a large rescue as she does. Kim has such a deep intuitive ability to tap into the nature of the dog which gives her the ability to meet their specific needs. What a blessing it is to have this organization in our city.

Great place doing great work! Helping the animals in need!

A great rescue and sanctuary that has the experience and competence to serve the animals that they do.

With out a doubt an amazing organization! Kim is fantastic, always ready to educate and/or help an animal in need!

As wolfdog rescues go, they are great- education is a must and they provide excellent care for their animals, as well as love for their well-being. This is truly a great and wonderful organization that deserves support.

I simply love what they do. Kim is such an inspirational person that not only cares for these beautiful creatures, but she truly loves them. Their work and dedication in saving them, providing them with a place where they are being loved and taken care of is a blessing to them. This organization is definitely one of my favorites and one I would love to volunteer in the future. Thank you IHWN for all you do!

This is a great, well versed in their field, organization. They provide excellent care for their animals and are well renowned for it.

Awesome organization run by an incredible person. Kim Kapes, my hats off to you for the selfless work you do. Thank you for giving these animals a place to feel safe and the chance at a better life.

This is one of the best groups I've seen. They take such good care of the animals!

What a beautiful organization and what a WONDERFUL cause!!! I am a fan!!! Thank you for creating a safe place for animals of all sorts, from all backgrounds.... you people are angels!! As a person who fosters and has rescued in the past..... there is nothing more challenging, difficult, emotionally and physically draining, warming, rewarding, fulfilling than this!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

IHWN is one of the few organizations dedicated to rehab, rehoming and sanctuary for a variety of animals. This comprehensive approach gives a homeless animal the best possible chance at a new life and the security of knowing that all of the animals will be able to spend the rest of their natural lives in a loving environment.

This organization is absolutely wonderful, helping animals in need, taking time out to care and love. The world needs more people like this. Thank for all you hard work and passion for animals.

Such an amazing organization for helping out the animals in need. Thank you for everything you guys do! I follow this group online and they are just great :)

In Harmony With Nature is an outstanding organization that not only cares for animals in need, but also provides much needed education on the importance of these animals in our world.

In Harmony With Nature is a wonderful place that not only provides a safe haven for animals, but also educates the public about the animals and their importance to the eco system.

This is a wonderful wonderful non profit thanks for letting me be a part of this

A great organization with hearts of gold. Thank you for all you do for these beautiful animals.

Experienced rescue, does amazing work with the animals

A great place, there for those in need! ! It's up to all of us to help each other and support the good.

I have seen first hand the good IHWN does and I whole heartedly support them! Wonderful place doing such wonderful rewarding work. Thank you so much for all you do!

Thank you so much for everything you do! It takes a lot of effort to do what you do. I've only heard good things coming from here.

Wonderful job giving a voice to those that cannot. Thank you In Harmony with Nature for your tireless efforts to help the animals.

Great place, rescue work is very hard and selfless. I admire them. And have high respect for them as well. Thank you for what you do. And may God bless you.

A big thank you to In Harmony With Nature for doing such a wonderful job with the precious animals..

Great people doing great things! The world could use more people like this or with half as much heart to give! Glad to give them my support :)

A big thank you to In Harmony With Nature and those who volunteer for the amazing work you are doing. Truly an endeavor worth supporting!

Much respect to you and all non-profits who dedicate themselves for the welfare of the animals. Keep up the good work!

What a great gift they are for the little ones who have no voice...God Bless everyone who helps with every aspect of this organization...

I can't tell you how many wonderful things I have heard about this animal rescue..they are at the top of my donation list for this year!

I've seen the difference this organization has made in the life of an animal that they recently rescued! A terrified sad animal has done a complete 180 in the hands of these people. People who have an obvious passion for the animals they help save. I look forward to watching their continued success with the animals they come in contact with!

Kim Kapes and IHWN are truly a gift to the world. There are rescues all over the world, but, not enough that truly put the health and well being of their animal's first.

What a beautiful setting for a sanctuary. Thank you for the work and efforts you provide for needy animals.

Kim Kapes and the dedicated volunteers that work with In Harmony in Nature provide a much needed Sanctuary for many types of animals in need of human assistance. Please support their great work any way that you can.

They were very helpful in answering my questions..

You will not find a more dedicated organization and staff that works to help all animals in need. Simply awesome in ever aspect of what they do from rescuing, to rehab, to placement in loving homes. Great job IHWN>

Let's all do our part to save the animals! This is a great cause

This is an amazing organization, truly dedicated to helping the animals. Kim Kapes and In Harmony with Nature has saved and assisted in saving the lives of many animals and provides a safe haven for those that have no where else to go. They deserve as much support as they can get.

Thank you for all you do!

In Harmony With Nature helped saved so many animals and continue to do so today. When some organizations are axed on rehoming animals as quickly as possible and not always in the benefit of the creature, Kim does a terrific job every time. I thank her in the name of all the animals she saved !

What an amazing place! The staff is extremely dedicated, and you can tell if you have the pleasure of meeting any one of them. Owner kim kapes is super nice and informative. I took home a kitten from her establishment and I couldn't be happier. He is the snuggliest, sweetest, and well mannered little guy. He brings alot of joy to my household. I can tell they take very good care of their animals. I would definitely do business with them again and will continue donating.

I have had the pleasure of volunteering with IHWN for 4+ years. While volunteering, I have been fortunate to learn from Kim about animal behavior and the correct methods involved in animal care. Kim has exposed me to the successful ways in which we can relate to animals and have a better understanding to them as they can to us.

Whether it's cleaning pens/liter boxes, playing with animals, working events or watching the adoption process, the time spent at IHWN have been some of the most rewarding periods in my life.

IHWN is a great rescue with happy animals who enjoy meeting new people. Please take some time to meet us and our animals whether it's to share love with the fur-babies or find a new family member. It's an experience you won't forget.

I became acquainted with Kim Kapes several years ago through mutual friends in the animal rescue arena. Her IHWN, inc, rescue, adoption, and sanctuary facility is astounding and the animals are calm, happy, and very well cared for. She works tirelessly for the animals seeing to their every need so I was well pleased when she was willing to accept a position on our Board of Directors. In addition to her ongoing responsibilities with IHWN, inc, Kim has been insightful and helpful in her position with Darlynn's Darlins Inc. Her love of animals and dedicated work not only for wolfdogs, but all animals, is a real credit to the animal welfare and protection community.

I have been a big supporter of Kim Kapes and IHWN for several years. I have seen the great love and caring Kim takes for all creatures at the sanctuary. Her mission has evolved to specialize in wolf-dogs but she has taken in and cared for any number of other animals, tortoises, pigs, horses, cats, iguanas, birds, etc. It is her work with the wolf-dogs, which are neither and both and often misunderstood that really shows her work. I have watched her patiently work with a frightened animal and gain its trust so it can be rehabilitated and adopted. She is very perceptive not just with the animals but also people and works tirelessly to find the right fit for the right animal to have a successful adoption. I truly admire her abilities and patience to make a difference in each life she touches. Please support IHWN in any way you are able.

The world would be a better place if we had more non profits like In Harmony with Nature. If you're an animal lover, you can't help but to admire the work Kim and IHWN does on a daily basis. I came across IHWN while on a search to adopt a dog approximately 5 years ago. Kim's professionalism and knowledge of animals was top notch. Not only did I adopt 1 dog, but she helped me out on the search to find a second dog, was there every step of the way, as we introduced them and they became my fuzzy kiddos. :) If you're looking to adopt, don't look any further...

Thank you to Kim and volunteers for making IHWN a wonderful addition to our community!

I volunteered once at this facility (as I reside all the way in Tampa). It is very well run and they do an incredible job. They are filling a role that is badly needed and deserve everyone's support.

I met Kim a few years back after many mutual friends said we should meet. Being that we both run non-profit animal rescue organizations that are both local to our area, it was a wonder we had not met before. Kim brought some baby raccoons to our facility, Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge and our friendship began. I soon after had my first opportunity to see the work she and her crew do firsthand as well as meet a few of her "kids". We seemed to connect pretty well right off the bat and it was obvious we had very similar ways of thinking about many things. I have read Wags to Riches myself and can feel the love and compassion in her words. She gives an opportunity for her readers and IHWN supporters alike to become aware and hopefully open to better ways to have a relationship with your companion pets creating an avenue to understand how they process information and hopefully the reader as well. Meeting Kim was much better than the book. I found her charming, passionate and empowering just as she shows in her book. My years being a part of and running a wildlife refuge, I hope that I am able to share and offer my experiences to Kim to help IHWN if she needs it b. We all need each other to succeed and grow and we need to share our strength and weaknesses alike. I am very impressed at what Kim had accomplished and proud of her for everything she has done to educate and care for some of the most amazing creatures on out planet. Education is the key to saving so many of the amazing animals in our world. We must support each other and support organizations that give back and give everything they have and are to make a difference in this world. I believe in IHWN and I hope you do too! I will do what I can to assist Kim in her endeavors and help make the work a better place for all of us and for all of the creatures that inhabit this beautiful earth we call home.

Years before the economy crashed in 2008, I was at an annual EXPO in town watching this entertaining woman happily pair up doggies & kitties with their new Mama's & Papa's. She found great joy hustling up a storm to help the helpless animals. After 2008 IHWN was overflowing with even more animals needing care and new loving homes. Kim Kapes to the rescue- she is a true Superhero! Her love for all animals and gifted ways with them are supernatural. Kim's heart of gold fuels her tireless work year after year. We are blessed to have her in the community, and IHWN is a gift in every way possible. Support IHWN however you can, as she is one of those special people on Earth who dedicates her life to helping our beloved animal friends.

Kim knows more about animals, particularly dogs, than most people I know. The animals in her care at In Harmony With Nature animal sanctuary actually thrive instead of just survive. I met Kim at an event several years ago - she was promoting IHWN and I was promoting my alternative care business for dogs. We immediately hit it off and have been friends ever since. Kim truly has a way with animals. She promotes the positive aspects of training and care for dogs so that dogs willingly cooperate with their humans instead of being forced into doing what the human wants. The result is a healthier, happier dog, and a better bond between both dog and human.

Kim Capes is dedicated to her cause and always determined to do the very best for the animals in her care.

In Harmony With Nature is a great and friendly animal rescue! Kim always shows high levels of care and responsibility with all of the animals whilst staying at their temporary haven, and goes above and beyond by providing a lifelong home for animals that do not get adopted.

I love volunteering with ihwn!!!! The facility is beautiful and very clean. Kim is a wonderful woman who really cares about her animals. GO TEAM HARMONY!!!!!

I first met Kim Kapes several years ago when she came to Naples to check out our facility. I was impressed with her energy and demeanor and have worked with her many times in the intervening years, having had my first impressions confirmed. Kim is very knowledgeable in animal behavior and adept at dealing with clients. The care of her animals comes first. She's always ready to help an owner keep their pet with suggestions and tips on behavior management (more applicable to the people than the animals *g*) and has a positive upbeat attitude. I've worked many rescue situations with Kim and have nothing but positive experiences to report.

I began volunteering at IHWN over 2 years ago. I have always been impressed by the level of care and respect given to each animal that enters the facility. Kim Kapes truly does things differently and has a way of inspiring people while bringing out the best in everyone. Currently it is a small organization making a big impact and is only showing signs of improving and expanding in its effort to help companion animals and the people who love them.

Kim Kapes took me in and taught me how to help the animals that come to the rescue. She taught me how to regain their trust and respect. Taking a dog from being afraid of humans to being a loving and gentle pet and companion is a great experience. Once you have taken on the challenge and seen the results you are hooked. To see one of these animals go to a new home where they will have a good life and bring happiness to all they touch is a incredible feeling. In Harmony with Nature will always hold a special place in my heart and soul.
