My Nonprofit Reviews

When I first accepted the internship at International Exotic Animal Sanctuary, I honestly did not know what to expect. This has become an eye opening experience. I was first off blown away on how clean and organized everything was and most importantly how happy the animals were. They have more than enough space to move around in their habitats, have waterfalls/pools, enrichment toys, trees, houses to protect them from the heat/cold, misting systems within their habitats to keep them cool. Another part of the Sanctuary that was truly wonderful to see is Bear Orphanage. You can come and see the bears actually interacting within their natural environment. They have 5 acres for the baby bears and 5 acres for the adult bears to roam around, a pond, enrichment toys as well, fresh water, and a lot of scrumptious food. Coming here has shown me how much hard work and dedication needs to go into running a good, safe sanctuary where the animals are truly happy and healthy. You can see this hard work and dedication in the staff here at IEAS, they very respectful, hard working, and know and care for each and every animal. They are more than willing to show us, the interns, each and every aspect of how to properly care for the animals and how to abide by safety procedures while feeding and cleaning their habitats. Everything we do here at the Sanctuary is for the animals, we want to provide them with a long, happy/stress free, and healthy life. I would encourage everyone to add this to their bucket list. This is a great place to see animals with various unfortunate backgrounds interacting in a stress free, natural environment.
