Like most non-profit organizations, we have both new and continuing needs that could really use your support. We happily accept any donations, cash or in-kind. All will be put to good use here at the Sanctuary.


Donations of any size help us achieve our mission and are greatly appreciated. We invite you to support by donating below.

Have something in mind? There may be something special you would like to do for the Sanctuary such as sponsoring one of our resident animals, a classroom visit or an outreach program. You may want to help with our native species rehabilitation and release program. It is all up to you, and the sky is the limit on what we can accomplish!

In-Kind Donations

Do you have some old tools you are thinking about replacing? An old vehicle that runs but no longer suits your needs? Finishing a construction project and ended up with extra materials? By donating them to the Sanctuary, you will get a write-off for your taxes and help us complete critical projects here at our facility. Everybody wins!
