The mission of the Wildlife Survival is to rescue animals without prejudice. They do not intentionally breed, and do not sell their animals. They do not take animals out in public or allow direct contact with the public. Wildlife Survival was founded to provide rescued animals with over-sized natural habitats where they can live out their lives peacefully while being provided with the best possible care they deserve. Animals call the sanctuary their permanent home where they can be safe from harm.
