Welcome! Animal Tracks, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to wildlife conservation through public education that operates a rescue facility, providing a permanent home for animals that cannot be returned to their natural habitats. In addition to living at our ranch, most of our residents have become ambassadors for their species. Out of sight is out of mind, so we want everyone to make a personal connection with nature and appreciate the beauty all around us. We strive to dispel common myths and misconceptions by presenting interesting, little-known facts in exciting and interactive live animal encounters. Our unique “ed-venture” programs can be tailored to any situation. In all of our shows, the spectators become participants. We believe that learning should be fun! Our lead staff members are certified in Exotic Animal Training and Management and each have over thirty years of hands-on experience with all sorts of exotic and domestic animals, as well as more than twenty years conducting entertaining, educational shows. Our audiences have ranged from two to over two thousand and from pre-schoolers to corporate employees. Please contact us to see how we can make your assembly or event truly memorable!

Animal Tracks offers enlightening, educational programs that are specifically tailored to any audience. We design fun, interactive, live animal encounters for a wide variety of situations including, but certainly not limited to:

Meet interesting and unique animals that represent their wild relatives from North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia!

Get close to our native neighbors, those critters that share their homes with us. We will show you the exotic side of North American wildlife!

Visit with some of the residents from our “Reptilian Pavilion”. See why snakes and lizards are not as scary or slimy as you might think!

Being a member of Animal Tracks means that you support our mission to educate audiences of all ages and communities as a whole about the desperate need for wildlife conservation. Since every living organism is so elaborately connected, we also want to go one step further by outlining simple, inexpensive ways in which everyone can make a difference in healing our planet. This cannot be done effectively on a small scale with only a few who care enough to act. This is where you enter the picture. Animal Tracks and its animal ambassadors depend on their members.

To become a member, simply select from three different levels. Each has its own
set of benefits, but all provide the rewarding opportunity to help wildlife. Also, a
membership is a great gift idea for any animal lover!

Being an Animal Care Volunteer allows you the opportunity to gain immeasurable experience working directly with a diverse collection of animals. You will learn all the basic requirements in animal husbandry, like how to build enclosures, clean exhibits, prepare diets, distribute food, recognize health problems, administer medications, provide behavioral and physical exercise, and keep records. Spending time with the animals to see how your efforts benefit them makes this program incredibly fulfilling. The rewards are virtually endless. In addition, you can use your experience toward a potential career in the animal field or a paid position within this organization. The animals look to you for their daily care and maintenance.

A Service Volunteer is someone who has a special talent or trade that he or she is willing to donate to help the animals. There are numerous personal and professional services that are extremely useful in running an animal facility. Skills in the fields of carpentry, electrical, plumbing, clerical, computer programming, legal documentation, and grant writing, just to name a few, are always appreciated. Everyone has something to offer and the animals need you for help with essential projects.

We provide lifelong care for abandoned, abused, confiscated, displaced, handicapped, imprinted, injured, and orphaned animals that cannot be returned to the wild. Animal Tracks is dedicated to offering the highest quality of living to all of its residents. The cost of this endeavor is significant. If you would like to help, we encourage you to participate in our Sponsorship Program.

Another way to help is by donating supplies that you might want to purchase for the animals or otherwise be looking to discard.  Below is a list of such items that we use on a daily basis:
