Our sanctuary is located among hundreds of Cedar and Douglas Fir trees, where the loudest sound is often the Raven’s wings passing by.

It’s important to note that we are a working sanctuary, and animal care comes first. Any tour or visit may be modified or cancelled if an animal is in distress for any reason.

Please register for all types of events, so we can plan accordingly with our staff and programs. You will receive our address and directions once you are registered, please do not share this information. You will also need to sign our visitor waiver.

No pets are allowed, and please don’t bring your dog in your car. Parking is exposed in the sun and it will be hot.

Please bring your own drinking water and don’t feed the animals anything other than what you will receive for your guided tour.

We are a non-profit organization and greatly appreciate any and all donations which go 100% to animal care and feeding.
