Peace River Refuge & Ranch

an Exotic Animal Sanctuary of Florida needs your help! join us in the fight to save animals lives

About Me

Peace River Refuge & Ranch is a nonprofit exotic animal sanctuary, fully licensed and accredited by the American Sanctuary Association and a Member Society of the World Society for the Protection of Animals. The sanctuary is dedicated to the lifetime care of abused, neglected, confiscated or unwanted exotic animals to prevent them from being destroyed.The animals that come to our sanctuary are given permanent homes and most have come from situations that were potentially harmful for the animals. We do not sell, transfer or give away any of the animals we rescue and they are not used for breeding; we simply protect them from harm.Animals we rescue are tigers, leopards, cougars, wolves, lynx, capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, Eqyptian fruit bats, bears, lemurs, tamarin monkeys and more.All donations are tax deductible - would you like to help the animals?
