About us
As a local USDA licensed 501(c)3 nonprofit wildlife sanctuary in the Indianapolis area, we strive to educate those in our community about the beautiful animals in our care. We are an active member of Species360 and use ZIMS for all of our conservation programs. We attribute our reputation to the lasting relationships we create with animals. We believe that all of our animals deserve the highest level of care, and we are committed to providing just that. All of the money we receive from sales at Teespring, and donations all goes into maintaining our animal sanctuary and caring for the animals. Remember to read our blog and explore the rest of our site to learn more about what we do, and get in touch with any questions that aren't already answered on our FAQ page.
Our main goal is to always achieve a high level of satisfaction with the services that we provide. We’re thrilled you’ve decided to visit our website! Our entire Board of Directors are all volunteers! They all have regular jobs just like you! This way all of the money raised goes to the animals just as it should. All donations made to Wizard of Paws Wildlife Education and Conservation are 100% tax deductible.
