ANIMAL SANCTUARY

Unfortunately, many exotic animals are surrendered for a multitude of reasons. In most cases, people purchase animals as a pet, that they cannot provide adequate care for in the long-run and need to find the exotic animal a home that can meet their needs. CECDFW provides permanent homes to rescued exotic animals, so that they may live out the rest of their lives in a safe, caring, and peaceful environment. We do our best, within our allotted resources, to replicate their natural habitat. Mental and physical stimulation through enrichment is a top priority, in order to provide the animals with outlets to engage in natural behaviors and achieve a fulfilling life.
