The Wild Animal Sanctuary

Saving One Animal May Not Change The World...But Surely, For That One Animal...The World Will Change Forever!

The Wild Animal Sanctuary was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1980, and has been operating for more than 44 years. The Sanctuary is open to supporters daily and is run by staff and volunteers. The Wild Animal Sanctuary operates three accredited sanctuaries for abused and abandoned great cats and bears, and one Refuge for wild Mustangs. The rescued animals are not bred, sold, or otherwise commercially exploited in any way. The Sanctuary has three facilities located in Colorado, and one in Texas, and utilizes more than 33,000 acres to shelter 950 lions, tigers, bears, leopards, mountain lions, wolves, mustangs and other animals. The Sanctuary operates the largest carnivore sanctuary network in the world, and its facilities are the only sanctuaries that provide large acreage (5 to 20,000 acres in size) species-specific habitats for their rescued animals. The Sanctuary also provides direct on and off-site education to more than 2,000,000 people per year concerning the Captive Wildlife Crisis.
