My Nonprofit Reviews

We were eager to visit this place because my mom had just moved to Texas. Texas is known for its freedom to own wild animals, including big cats, bears, etc. We learned so much while we were here. This place also has some white-nosed coati mundis (little raccoon-like animals), a ring-tailed lemur, and a pack of grey wolves. The freedom to own these type of animals is not without consequence, as the average person is likely not equipped with the time, skill, or resources to handle these animals. This sanctuary has catered to everything these animals will need. They’re not put on display to please the public. It’s more like, we have the privilege to be invited into their space, and learn more about them if they feel comfortable. There are animals which are not part of the tour because they are not as comfortable with visitors and that is extremely respectable. This sanctuary is open to volunteers and interns.

They offer emotional enrichment for these animals, where they will have volunteers sit by enclosures to be present with these creatures and show that a human presence is not a negative thing. This has apparently helped rehabilitate so many of their animals, to the point where these animals have a positive reaction to humans.

This is an excellent organization that offers education to the public. You only have to be willing to learn.
