Review for Animal Park at the Conservators Center, Burlington, NC, USA
I'm a veterinary technician as well as a member of our state animal response team. The care that these animals get, everything from natural habit (as close as you can get in NC), medical care, enrichment (toys, scents) and the love of their handlers is evident everytime you visit. Most of these animals have been rescued from horendous situations. I thank god that there is a group like this to help these animals out and to educate the public. Their one on one interaction with the tour groups is phenomenal, everyone from the youngest to the oldest in the tour get their questions answered. There are no stupid questions at CCI.

Review for Animal Park at the Conservators Center, Burlington, NC, USA
Being a veterinary professional and part of the State Animal Response Team as well as the North Carolina Veterinary Response Corp I see a lot of horrors out there, everywhere from dogs and cats to exotics. That is definitely NOT the case at CCI. These animals have been rescued from the worst situations imaginable and have come to animal heaven. No worries, good food, a safe and loving environment and best of all a FOREVER HOME. I have known Mindy all of my life and am well acquainted with her large and loving heart. Doug and Mindy are members of the State Animal Response Team and we know they are always there to help out if we have an exotic situation. A tour of this facility has been long talked about by any one that I have brought out and everyone wants to know when they can go back. To everyone who volunteers their time there thank you from the bottom of my heart.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing the difference of the attitudes of the animals from when they first arrive to after they've settled in. They become a lot more calmer and happier/playful.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Getting to see the animals up close, not from the far side of an encloser. Also, just seeing the animals respond as they would naturally with plenty of room to play.
Ways to make it better...
more people would be able to come out and visit, if CCI had more donations they would be able to expand on what they do wonderfully now.
