A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Urgent Need for a New Animal Hospital: Help Us Help Them
Our current animal hospital is no longer able to meet the growing needs of the 30,000+ animals in our care. Larger animals often have to be transported off-site for medical care, which can be stressful and logistically challenging. Additionally, our limited space for housing and quarantining animals before integration jeopardizes their health and safety.
Despite the dedication of our team, the need for a new, state-of-the-art animal hospital is more urgent than ever. Plans for a 32,000-square-foot facility will significantly expand our capacity and meet the diverse needs of the species we care for. With our current facility being just 6,000 square feet, this new hospital is vital to provide the best care possible for our animals.
Construction began in January 2024, and the foundation is complete, with structural work 80% finished. We expect to fully enclose the building by the end of the year.
With your help, we can create a world-class facility that will allow our veterinary team to continue their life-saving work. This project is critical for the future of our Zoo and the animals we serve. Help us make this dream a reality.
