Come over and lend a helping hand in our non-profit unusual animal sanctuary（动物保护区）and educational facility in Sunny Florida! We are devoted to the lifetime care of deserted, retired, abused or otherwise homeless exotic（奇异的）animals to prevent them from being destroyed.

The animals that come here for sanctuary are given permanent homes. They are not sold, transferred, given away or bred ; they’ are simply here to be protected from harm. Great care is given to the animals to ensure that their medical, nutritional, and emotional needs are met on a daily basis. With the help from our supporters, we are able to provide permanent habitats for these animals on our 36-hectare compound.

You live in camping facilities at the sanctuary. Hot showers and laundry facilities are at your disposal. Facilities to relax after working hours are available.

Food, mostly home cooked, is included in the fee.Special arrangements, such as vegetarian food can be made.

What makes your stay here most important is that you will learn a lot about the knowledge and experience it takes to care for the different species at the sanctuary. You will also learn how to work around the animals without risk of being hurt as some of the animals are wild and need special handling and caution when working close by.

You must be in good physical condition and be able to bear heat.

You must be able to speak or at least understand English.You must be aged 18 or older. You must be available for at least two weeks.
