    No-shows are non-refundable. Notify the operator at least 24 hours in advance to be rebooked or refunded. Full refund if the tour is cancelled due to severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

    FAQs

    Wear closed-toe shoes or boots and weather-appropriate clothing. Bring a hat, sunscreen, a water bottle, and a raincoat or umbrella if rain is forecasted.

    Walk on an unpaved route of compacted dirt and gravel. The path can be slippery when wet and dusty when dry, with short steep sections, grassy areas, and uneven terrain. Shade and places to sit or rest are limited.

    This sanctuary has built a loyal following for good reason. The rescued animals are well cared for, the grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the staff consistently earns praise for being warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their work. Visitors return year after year, some coming back for a sixth stay in the on-site tiny houses, and special events like the turkey celebration draw equally enthusiastic crowds. Tours cover the stories behind the rescued animals and touch on broader issues with factory farming, so it's worth knowing ahead of time that the experience leans into animal welfare advocacy. Parents of young children may want to ask about content before booking, as some of the imagery and stories can be intense for sensitive kids. For adults and older children who come with open minds, most find it eye-opening and genuinely moving.
