We visited in winter and enjoyed our visit but there were few animals awake to be seen. It was, however, the only opportunity I will get to be snarled at by a coyote while still being able to stand my ground. They do good work here and are worth considering. More

The center is located just outside of town, near the high school. They have a large collection of orphaned, injured and/or abandoned animals.
