Help for the burned down Enchanted Forest

Donation protected

At 3 AM Sunday morning  the barn at The Enchanted Forest Exotic Animal Sanctuary with 40 animals inside burned down. Our sanctuary takes in exotic animals in crisis and provides a loving place for them to live and invites the public over to feed and show love to them. The devastating loss of life is unspeakably hard to bare as none of those in the barn survived.

With only 25 survivors at the sanctuary who were not in the barn at the time and 35 more animals already transported to the new sanctuary being built in Colfax, nearly everything related to the care of our animals was destroyed.

Our sanctuary also lost all exotic animal food, medical supplies, bedding, caging, night time sleep houses, fencing, signage, gift shop/fundraising items and more. 

With the sheriffs department opening an investigation into this possibly being arson, it is of the utmost importance that all of the animals get moved to the Colfax sanctuary immediately. Since the Sanctuary property was just purchased, there is tree removal, ground leveling and sturdy caging needed as soon as possible to get all the animals to safety. 

Your donations will be immediately put to work getting the relocated sanctuary ready for the animals to safely and permanently live at. We can’t thank you enough for your donations!!!
