Review for Professional Animal Retirement Center, Albion, IN, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

Well there is so much to say about Black Pine Animal Park. The goal of this sanctuary is to help and care for animals that are abused, mistreated, or were just to much for their said owners to take care of. As a small example of a rescue is the black bear Wrigley. She was abused terribly. She has so many problems I could write this entire letter about them. However to move things along she was basically chained to a tree and mercilessly attacked by dogs trained to hunt bears. And their are countless cases of abuse and sadness present and past. But when their nightmares are over, they are sent to Black Pine Animal Park, where they will live the rest of their lives, not having to worry about when their feed next, if they will have clean water, or whether or not they will be properly taken care of medically. However Black Pine is not perfect we still have many flaws. As the economy becomes tougher we are not able to continue making permanent habitats for the animals where they will be able to walk, run, and feel like more than an animal in time out. Not all the animals at Black Pine Animal Park come with a terrible tragic story. But they all deserve a good home.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

An example of their amazing care. Kovu who recently passed on came to the park in terrible condition. He was malnourished and had some very serious medical problems. But it wasn't long at all before he made a huge comeback and was over all his illness.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would not change anything. Other than to keep creating enclosures and permanent habitats for the animals.
