Overview

Our proposed GREEN Sanctuary building will be home to a thousand abandoned, abused pets, an educational facility, adoption center, source of jobs, tourism draw to the area, and an example of how such a sustainable facility can be built at a low cost thereby prompting more animal rescues, other businesses, and individuals to use the GREEN methods we will incorporate such as passive and active solar and wind power, and composting the waste.
Critter Camp's educational tours in its current location in the director's home have drawn people from as far away as Texas, Canada and even Ethiopia! Imagine the outreach the new facility can have- both for pet care education and GREEN building and operating methods!
The GREEN aspects will be promoted on our site, in our videos, & in our free email newsletter going to thousands of addresses each week worldwide- as far away as New Zealand & Singapore!
