Animal Sponsorship Program

Animal lovers can directly support the health and comfort of the animals in our Wildlife Sanctuary by participating in our Animal Sponsorship Program.* Sponsor your favorite animal with a partially tax-deductible donation. Whether it’s for yourself or for a loved one. It makes a great gift!

$100 Sponsorship Package

$300 Sponsorship Package

Meet & Greet Exceptions

All animals are eligible for sponsorship. Some of our larger animals are not suitable for a standard Meet & Greet including the Burmese Python, and a few others. For these animals, a Behind-the-Scenes tour of the Wildlife Sanctuary, including a modified meet and greet with the sponsored animal will take place.
