Mobile School Visits

All proceeds go directly to the care of our animal residents.

Temperature Policy: To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our animals, we are unable to travel when the heat index exceeds 85°F or falls below 65°F.

Can't make the trip to our sanctuary? We'll come to you. Our mobile school visit program brings a curated collection of rescued animals directly to your campus for an engaging, hands-on educational experience, no field trip bus required.

All visits are led by our experienced animal educators and are fully managed from arrival to departure. We handle setup, animal handling, and all cleanup so your staff can focus on the students.

What to Expect

Each visit features up to 8–10 animal types selected from our sanctuary residents. We can work with you to tailor the experience around your current curriculum, whether you're exploring animal science, ecosystems, responsible pet ownership, or agricultural literacy. Just let us know what your students are learning, and we'll build the visit around it.
