Established in 1980, the wild animal sanctuary is a state and federally licensed zoological facility and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

They are accredited by the global federation of animal sanctuaries as well as the usda and the co parks and wildlife. But a refuge in the small town of keenesburg has brought together one of the largest and most. Today the sanctuary location stretches across 789 acres and the new refuge adds more than 9,000 acres of colorado plains.
