Massive spacesand thefreedom to roam.
The Sanctuary travels across America and around the world to rescue animals that are suffering. Each rescued animal is rehabilitated and released into large natural habitats with others of their own kind.
Please Join Us and Change More Lives Today!
Their remarkable recoveries lead to a life filled with friendship, love, freedom and joy!
The vast majority of animals we rescue have never been able to walk on grass before... or run... or even sleep on a natural substrate.
Once they have been rescued and rehabilitated, they get to live and roam freely within natural habitats for the rest of their lives.
We cater 100% of our care to match each animal for who they are and what they have experienced in life before ever coming to our Sanctuary. As a result, through a highly specialized rehabilitation process, we change each animal's life for the better!
Combined, these facilities encompass more than 40,000 Acres! (or 16,187+ Hectares)
The Wild Animal Sanctuary currently operates three facilities within the United States. Two of our Sanctuaries specialize in saving captive-born exotic animal species, while the other is entirely dedicated to saving Colorado Mustangs.
We care for more than 950 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves, Jaguars, Cheetahs, Leopards, Mtn. Lions, Camels, Mustangs and many other species of animals!

The Captive Wildlife Crisis
There are no places for them to go other than a Sanctuary like ours where they can be given a new life free from exploitation and abuse.
Currently, there are more than 20,000 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves and other large carnivores living outside of our zoo system in America.
These animals can be found in people's back yards, basements, apartments, garages, roadside zoos and other terribly unnatural places.
