We accept any exotic pet (mammal, avian, reptile, amphibian and insect) for any reason and we have a friend who has a no-kill shelter for dogs and cats. We also take orphaned or abandoned baby animals of all types and have
a small network of foster homes. Until our TN. wildlife rehab. permit is granted we will not be able to accept native species, but can contact the proper people for you. We are always in need of the following items. Since everything is paid for out of my pocket, it can get quite expensive. We are also wanting to expand to take in large hoof stock and are applying for our raptor permit and native wildlife rehab. permit, so any fencing, wire, etc. for these projects would be greatly appreciated. Also, we recently moved to a larger place and need labor donations for building and fencing.
