Ark R.A.I.N. Wildlife Sanctuary, Inc. (ARWS) is a Non Profit, 501(c)(3) exotic animal rescue in west TN. ARWS has given a loving, permanent home to hundreds of animals in need. On November 19th, Ark R.A.I.N. Wildlife Sanctuary faced one of the most horrific nightmares imaginable. While Co-founders Tim and Toni Davies and all the animals were sleeping, a fire ripped through the Sanctuaries tropical rooms which housed rescued exotic animals from all over the world, and through the Davies home. Sadly 56 precious animals were lost in the blaze. Tim, Toni, one rescued cat and dog (Ashes and Freedom) barely escaped the fire, suffering smoke inhalation, mild cuts, burns, and severe emotional damage. Hearts and spirits are broken. Buildings lie in ruin. Everything was lost. Arson is suspected but as to date, the investigation is ongoing and no suspect has been arrested, yet.
To this day they work daily with the 60 animals left to provide them with enrichment, food, water, shelter, and interaction. Please click the DONATE tab on the Ark R.A.I.N. Wildlife Sanctuary facebook wall or on the arkrain.org website to give.

The volunteers at BCR are so amazing on many different levels. The sacrifices they make to ensure the well being of the Big cats far exceeds any level of care that I've seen before. Many Volunteers report to BCR on cold mornings, rainy days and hurricane windy days without a complaint. They do so much to provide a great life for these once neglected cats. They educate and spread awareness to the public that is much needed. I cannot say enough good about this sanctuary or the staff. I have followed BCR since the mid 2005 and more actively since 2010. Thank you to all the Volunteers for all your dedication and hard work!
