Nestled on 50 acres in a beautiful wooded paradise is the home to nearly 400 amazing and wonderful animals. Most of them who have come to live here would be called “rescued."  Truth be told, we’d like to think that we rescued them, but each day that we spend with these incredible animals, we realize how much they really rescue us!

During your visit, you’ll meet most of them personally, hear their stories and learn the valuable lessons they teach us! You’ll feed and pet the kangaroos?  Maybe you’ll even get a kangaroo kiss! We promise it will be an experience like you’ve
never had!
