Although no salaries are paid here, it still takes a lot of resources to keep the Sanctuary up and running. Our resident animals are fed approximately a half ton of food every day, 75% of it meat. The many special needs animals at our facility require medication. Our outreach program requires special transportation and insurance. Educational materials come with publication costs. The list of expenses is endless!

Fortunately, the Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Sactuary has been blessed by many generous individuals and businesses who have become decided to become part of our family by becoming members or otherwise donate to our operations. We can honestly say we could not do the good work we do with wildlife and companion animal rescue, care, education and research without their contributions.

All of us at The Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Sanctuary wish to give truly heartfelt ROARS OF THANKS to all those who have volunteered or donated to the foundation. Thanks for your support!
