Melissa has been around exotic animals since she was young, since her father was a Game Warden and instrumental in exposing her at an early age to all sorts of animals. Her family was active in wildlife rehabilitation, frequently releasing animals back into the wild. It was about 17 years ago that she acquired a cougar as a pet and from that moment on, she knew she was destined to be involved with animals. One of her best friends was Samson- an amazingly gentle, 600 lb. Bengal Tiger. Melissa still treasures the time they had together each day.

It has been through this interaction that has brought her to believe that instructing others and allowing them to interact with animals they may never encounter in the wild, gives them a respect and desire to protect animals they otherwise would have no reason to care about. This is essential in the preservation of all the planet's wildlife

We have been exhibiting animals for educational and entertainment purposes for several years, as well as participating in and facilitating animal rescue. We take animals that most other places don't have the room or experience for. All of our animals are handled daily by experienced handlers specifically trained to work with exotics AND children. They have also been through educational courses on the animals in order for them to be more prepared when answering questions at schools, parties and special events. All of our animals are healthy, well cared for and kept in sanitary conditions. The term "spoiled" comes to mind when referring to several of our furry friends. We are fully licensed, insured and USDA accredited.
