Welcome To
The Wild Animal Sanctuary currently operates three facilities within the United States. Two of our Sanctuaries specialize in saving captive-born exotic animal species, while the other is entirely dedicated to saving Colorado Mustangs.
Keenesburg, Colorado Sanctuary
Springfield, Colorado Refuge
Craig, Colorado Refuge
Combined, these facilities encompass more than
40,000 Acres!
(or 16,187+ Hectares)
Each of our facilities have incredibly unique programs that rescue animals from horrific captive situations and rehabilitate them so they can live and roam freely within large natural habitats with others of their own kind.
We care for more than 950 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves, Jaguars, Cheetahs, Leopards, Mtn. Lions, Camels, Mustangs and many other species of animals!
You are welcome to explore this website for more information pertaining to all of our facilities - or feel free to click on any of the facilities below to learn more about their own unique mission.

The Wild Horse Refuge - Craig, CO
30,000-acres of natural habitats...
Currently, there are more than 20,000 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves and other large carnivores living outside of our zoo system in America.
These animals can be found in people's back yards, basements, apartments, garages, roadside zoos and other terribly unnatural places.
There are no places for them to go other than a Sanctuary like ours where they can be given a new life free from exploitation and abuse.
The vast majority of animals we rescue have never been able to walk on grass before... or run... or even sleep on a natural substrate.
Once they have been rescued and rehabilitated, they get to live and roam freely within natural habitats for the rest of their lives.
The Sanctuary travels across America and around the
world to rescue animals that are suffering.
Each rescued animal is rehabilitated and released into
large natural habitats with others of their own kind.
Their remarkable recoveries lead to a life
filled with friendship, love, freedom and joy!

What makes the Wild Animal Sanctuary so different than other sanctuaries around the country?
MASSIVE SPACES
and the
FREEDOM to ROAM!
We cater 100% of our care to match each animal for who they are and what they have experienced in life before ever coming to our Sanctuary. As a result, through a highly specialized rehabilitation process, we change each animal's life for the better!

we have rescued and truly changed for the better...
