Seniors

 

We love seniors!  For some seniors that we visit, we may be their only visitors.  We help them feel cared for, seen, and valued as honored members of our community.  We love hearing folks reminisce about past pets, early years on farms or even growing up with animals in other countries - we’re all ears to hear the details and see the big smiles that accompany these special stories.

We offer our deep gratitude to our veterans.  Our visits bring delight to those who have given so much.

Complex Needs Communities

 

For our complex needs communities, calm, regulated animal interactions can have an amazing effect on minds, hearts and nervous systems.  For many, this quiet more intimate animal activity can offer enrichment and cognitive boosting in a welcome and soothing way.  In scholastic settings, we visit students with Specialized Academic Instruction and IEP (Individualized Education Program) needs.  Our animal interactions are a joy to those students with visual, auditory and orthopedic impairments who aren’t able to join in in other activities.

Foster Care/Youth Homes/Shelters/Centers

 

At youth supporting facilities, we educate and create enthusiasm as well as give kids the opportunity to cuddle a non-judgmental creature.  We so often see excitement bubbling over as children and teens learn about different animals and feel great pride in holding and caring for living beings during our visits.  We’ve inspired many kids to put their energy into having their very own pet to care for one day, creating empathy for living creatures.  What a wonderful focus in a media heavy world.

We absolutely love bringing our sweet family of animals out to celebrate birthdays

to delight and educate guests, with proceeds supporting our non-profit work.

Whether a birthday party for your little one who loves animals

and their friends, a school fair or summer camp, we do it all!

With our awesome variety of furry critters as well as reptiles, there's something for everyone. Our knowledgeable zoo crew know how to create a super cool event chock full of education and fun.  The best part - kids and guests get to feed, pet, hold and
