Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center - now operating as “The Wild Animal Sanctuary”-
is located just outside of Denver, CO and is a state and federally licensed
zoological facility. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (tax
deductible) and operate with your donations and the help of very dedicated
people who volunteer their time. We have been rescuing exotic wildlife and endangered species since 1980, and are currently home to more than 155 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Jaguars, Leopards, Mountain Lions, Lynx, Bobcats, Servals, Wolves, and other wildlife. The residents of our Wild Animal Sanctuary were abandoned, abused, illegally kept, or came from other terrible situations. The vast majority of our animals were so-called “pets” - and were confiscated by law enforcement officials - usually within the first six months of their lives. We also provide permanent refuge to surplus animals from zoos and other wildlife facilities, where they face euthanasia due to over-breeding. |

bring a side dish and chairs to sit on. At about 5:30 PM, we will cruise to the
sanctuary to view the animals. We are going later than planned at first because
the animals will be more active when it cools down. Bring some binoculars if
you want to see them up close. The sanctuary will be open till 8:30. After this,
we will cruise to Sonic for dessert and light show or, if the interest is there,
we can go to the Drive-In Movie in Commerce City. Please RSVP Rick & Patty |
