We are happy to offer tours of the sanctuary where you can meet all the animals. Many of them even like to be petted! We will walk you around, tell you the story of how we got started, and how all the animals came to us. We are also happy to answer any questions you might have and you can take as many photos as you’d like (tag us please 😊)! More about the tours at the bottom of the page. We may join smaller groups together.
