On September 10th hurricane Irma barreled into Florida and wreaked havock through out the state. With hurricanes we had time to prepare as best as we could by securing all the animals at EARS, and thankfully there were no animals hurt, but many have lost there large habitat/enclosures  and are having to live in much smaller areas while we repair and rebuild. EARS has always prided themselves with large natural enclosures that the animals enjoy daily. The cost is high both monetarily and quite stressful to our animals. We are blessed with wonderful volunteers that will help us rebuild but need help with the tremendous cost.
