For the animal lovers in all of us. Noah’s Ark is a nonprofit animal sanctuary that started up in 1978. The Ark has an array of animals, from horses, bison, and deer, to cougars, parrots, and monkeys. This sanctuary is also home to the famous “trio,” which you might recognize from the National Geographic Channel. This “trio” is made up of a lion, a tiger, and a bear, who get along and coexist like friends.
Noah’s Ark rehabilitates hundreds of animals and returns them to the wild each year. They also advocate for responsible animal ownership. Their facility offers several different animal habitats and nature trails for you to explore, free of charge, unless you would like to give a dontation.
