Help Feed Rescued Exotic & Wild Animals in Arizona

As we reflect on the journey we have embarked upon together since the beginning of the year, we are filled with gratitude for your unwavering support. Your commitment has made it possible for us to achieve new milestones at our nonprofit wildlife sanctuary, Keepers of the Wild.

This year has brought many new and exciting additions to the Keepers family. We are thrilled to announce the arrival of:

• Two three-year-old energetic male grey wolves, Skyca and Blueca, whose majestic presence has brought a new dynamic to our sanctuary.
• With Skya and Blueca came a stunning 12-year-old female black-spotted leopard named Kadesh, adding to the diversity of species we care for.
• A sweet adolescent male goat named Shadow, who brings joy and companionship to our resident animals and Caretakers alike.
• And another adorable female baby mule deer, Anna, who has quickly won the hearts of our staff and visitors.

As we continue to grow, we have prioritized the welfare of our animals. Last year, we rescued 12 foxes from a fur farm in Minnesota. As time passed, we recognized the need to build separate habitats to ensure their comfort and safety, as some foxes were not getting along. We have responded with urgency and compassion by initiating the construction of three new enclosures, designed to provide every fox with a safe and enriching environment. The new habitats include lots of platforms to climb, places to hide, hammocks, and den boxes to accommodate the unique needs of these frisky creatures.

In our ongoing quest to operate efficiently and foster strong relationships with our supporters, we have implemented several technological upgrades:

• A new point-of-sales system in our gift shop enhances the shopping experience for our visitors while optimizing our operations.
• Updated donor management systems empower us to maintain a personable and secure connection with each of you, our valued donors.
• A large Generac emergency backup generator was installed to handle the frequent power outages we experience in our rural setting. This generator specifically supports our Animal Care Center, the hub of our operations.
• We are also excited to reveal an innovative new feature for our supporters next month, which will further enhance our community engagement. Stay tuned for this exciting announcement!

None of these achievements would have been possible without your generous support and belief in our mission. Together, we are making a significant impact on the lives of the animals we rescue and care for. Thank you for being an indispensable member of the Keepers Pack. We look forward to sharing more updates with you as we continue on this remarkable journey.

With a Wild Heart,
