Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary

For more than 30 years, Octagon Wildlife has rescued over a thousand animals. As a non for profit, we do the very best we can for the animals we care for. Octagon is blessed with the most outstanding volunteers, contributors, and support any organization could ask for.

Some breeding of animals took place years ago. Prior to and since new management took over in May 2005, no intentional breeding has taken place. We feel this would add to the problem that already exists. At times animals we take in, often through confiscations from unlicensed or abusive owners, will already be pregnant. We do everything to provide for the mother to be. Volunteers go to extremes to care for the offspring once they are born and many donate extra time to be surrogate parents.

Today

Octagon leases the land, which is privately owned, for $1.00 per year and is responsible for any and all maintenance. The director lives on the property and volunteers her time for free as do all the other volunteers. Odd jobs and the graciousness of other volunteers helps provide for her needs.

Many of our animals after they have passed on are donated to reputable colleges and universities. This allows anthropologists to further study how age and diseases affect God's creatures.

Come out and visit us. Learn what we are doing and see our magnificent animals in a serene environment. Many school kids, girl/ boy scouts have benefited through our education program. High school aged individuals can also earn community hours by volunteering. We allow disabled adults and children to visit for free to have an experience of a life time.

Admission: Adults $10, Seniors 55+ & Kids 8-17 $5, Children 7 & under Free
