Wild Animal Sanctuary and Educational facility
Since 1998, Forest Animal Rescue (formerly known as Peace River Refuge and Ranch) has ensured that rescued wild animals have the space and peace that they need to heal and thrive.
They are given the best in veterinary care, a healthy diet, and playmates of their own kind as appropriate.
Animals rescued from captive situations regain confidence as their bodies gain strength, and they learn to appreciate the humans who have come to their aid, in a true sanctuary setting.
Black bear cubs are rehabilitated and, once they have regained their strength, they are returned to State authorities for release in appropriate locations.
Other native wild animals that have been rehabilitated by others are also provided with a safe, protected location, owned by the sanctuary, to be released back into their native habitat.
Captive wild animals that have been confiscated by authorities, used in research, abandoned to starve or have been attempted pets that failed because of their wild nature
Orphaned or injured wild bear cubs are nurtured and rehabilitated with minimal human interaction so that they learn to thrive on their own and can be released back into the wild. We also coordinate with other rehabilitation facilities to assist in the safe release on native animals on sanctuary-owned, protected land
We have strong volunteer and internship programs, as well as our social media and online outreach to educate others on the issues facing wild animals in captivity and the plight of their wild counterparts
