Description

I had the most amazing day at The Wild Animal Sanctuary. I always get lost in the moment when I come here for a visit. I spent 4 hours of pure joy.

As I drove up to "The Wild Animal Sanctuary" you can see Grizzly Bears on the left. They were playing with each other, so majestic! I was the 2nd person to arrive. When I parked my car, right in front of me were 3 BIG Grizzly Bears. No picture where taken as they ask you do not stand in front of the animals. I will always respect their rules. When I got out of my car, a pack of Wolves were howling away. I knew this was going to be another fabulous visit, I would never forget. Nothing beats the experience of the walkway. Hearing Lions roar was truly amazing, When I started up the walkway, I stopped right in my tracks. Oh, what a beauty. I was so very lucky she looked at me, as the animals here do not usually look up! I'm so glad I had my camera ready. Look at her EYES! Stunning. She is so very gorgeous and oh so elegant. Her name is "Timara".... What a fantastic organization. The animals seem so happy and content, with plenty of space to roam. I will be back!

Colorado's Wild Animal Sanctuary Recognized as one of Top 5 Animal & Wildlife Welfare Organizations in the World.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary is the oldest and largest nonprofit Sanctuary in the US dedicated exclusively to rescuing captive exotic and endangered large carnivores, providing them with a wonderful life for as long as they live, and educating about the tragic plight faced by an estimated 30,000 such animals in America today.

Established by Executive Director Pat Craig in 1980, Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center, DBA The Wild Animal Sanctuary, is a state and federally licensed zoological facility and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Originally started on Pat's family farm outside Boulder, CO, TWAS soon moved to Lyons, CO, where there was more room for the animals, and to provide for future expansion. After eight years in that location, TWAS was forced to move again due to a limestone quarry moving in nearby. The Sanctuary currently sits on 720 acres 50 miles east of Boulder. There is plenty of space for the animals 21 large acreage habitats, along with room to grow while still maintaining large grassland buffers.

TWAS is located near Keenesburg, Colorado.

I'm not one to go to zoo's as I do not agree with what happens there, but oh, how I love this Wild Animal Sanctuary and everything they stand for. They save animals from all over the world. I just adore this place. If you are ever in the Denver, Colorado area, this is a must to see.

Every print I sell in my gallery, a portion of my proceeds will be donated to Animal Rescue.
