Transitional Habitat

 

To your left or to the east, is a transitional habitat. This space is utilized as an “introductory” area for newer rescues with unique situations. Think of this like a “condo” before the mansion of a large acreage habitat. Over the years, this habitat has been home to various young bear rescues, and more recently, a young tiger cub that was privately and illegally kept as a pet in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Even if in this area temporarily, each resident enjoys the spacious, amenity-filled environment - while also not being overwhelmed with too much space just yet.  

 

Adoptions and Pledges

​

Two of the easiest and most rewarding ways to support the Sanctuary are either adopting an animal or pledging a certain amount of money each month. Adoptions choices include small, medium or large animals. Sponsoring on behalf of a particular animal range from $20 per month for a small animal to $30 per month for a medium animal, and $40 per month for a large animal. Adopting either a medium or large animal also instantly qualifies a person to become an Active Supporter, in which case they are able to visit up to five times in a year and bring up to three guests each time at no cost. We provide this opportunity as a "thank you" for Active Supporters and so that they may share the Sanctuary's mission with others. Please check with a Welcome Center associate or visit our website to find out more information about adopting and pledging. We thank you in advance for your wonderful support!

 

Wolves (East)

​

Ahead on the left, you will see wolves from a now-closed rescue center near Los Angeles. Due to a number of setbacks at the facility, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife assumed care of all the facility’s animals.  Before that time, they had been rescued from a Minnesota fur farm in August 2018. Upon finding no other placement options for the Wolves, the Sanctuary was asked to provide forever homes for numerous animals. Naturally, the Sanctuary agreed so now all may live out their lives in natural habitats and never have to worry about where they will live ever again!

 

Wolves (West)

​

Just ahead and to the right you will see a habitat that currently houses two Arctic Wolves. This brother and sister pair, named Ajack and Sijack, came from a drive-thru Safari Park in Montréal, Canada. This facility had many Wolves and a number of them were not getting along. Realizing it could not provide the best home for these two Wolves, the Sanctuary was approached about taking them in. The Sanctuary readily agreed and now this pair of beautiful Wolves enjoys a freedom never known before.
