Bengal/Siberian Tiger We received a call from a sweet woman that was very upset. She had rescued a tiger that was being exploited for money then beaten if he didn't cooperate with his owner. A 'photo cat'. She went through the proper proceeder with her state and county to get permitted to help this beautiful animal. She spent the next few years giving this tiger the love and respect he needed. Then, she was told that she would lose her home owners and business insurance if she didn't get rid of the tiger. She was left with some tough choices. Finding a home for a tiger is a lot harder than some may think. She feared for the life of this tiger. Would he have to be euthanized? Unfortunately, that was one of the only other options since she was given a limited amount of time from the insurance company to find another home for the tiger. Then she found Ark RAIN Wildlife Sanctuary. I still remember talking with her that day. I remember her sigh of relief when we told her that we would help. Ark RAIN went through all of the necessary legal channels here to get permission from our state to rescue this tiger, then from her state to transport the tiger, then from her insurance company to make sure that her policy wasn't cancelled while we were working on all the arrangements. Tobi was transported safely soon after this and now has a permanent loving home at Ark RAIN Wildlife Sanctuary. |

Coatimundi This poor baby was abandoned and left to die by her uncaring owner when he moved. The landlord took care of her for a while then the new tenant tried to help but realized the animal needed a lot of specialized care that she did not have the time or experience to give. She was kind enough to search for a good home for her and found our website. The Coatimundi had frostbite on her tail and some reversible skin conditions, overgrown claws and patches of hair missing at the time of the rescue from the neglect she suffered before this kind person temporarily took care of her. She now has a permanent loving home at Ark R.A.I.N. Wildlife Sanctuary. Green Grivet Monkey This monkey was well cared for by the owner who had the knowledge, the time and the money to care for her. The owner realized that she would be happier in a natural habitat with other monkeys near. She came to live at Ark R.A.I.N. Wildlife Sanctuary along with tons of food and toys from her loving owner. What a blessing! |

Capuchin Monkey The owner did not have proper permits. The options the state gave were euthanasia or placement at a USDA licensed facility out of state. Prior to this owner, this 37 year old monkey bounced around in a few abusive homes, losing an eye, being given alcohol to drink to calm him down and being housed in a cage hardly big enough to turn around in. He came to us very malnourished, severely arthritic and with liver and thyroid damage. Popeye lived the rest of his life with an abundance of love and happiness at Ark R.A.I.N. Wildlife Sanctuary. Iguanas, Iguanas and More Iguanas! We continually get calls to take in iguanas. Most of the iguanas come from people that could no longer keep them after they grew too large to handle. Most of the iguanas that come to us are untamed and malnourished. Although one of the most recent iguanas that we rescued came from someone that took very good care of him. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she was unable to give him as much attention as he needed and felt that he would benefit by living the rest of his life at a sanctuary. |
