The Refuge
The Juniper Wildlife Refuge is a non-profit animal sanctuary located on the rural edge of Tallahassee, Florida. Our primary focus is North American wildlife that can no longer live in the wild due to human interference or physical disabilities.
Since our resident animals can not return to their wild roots our home becomes their home and they become a part of our family.
At our refuge, each animal is included in our daily lives. We emphasize the importance of getting to know them as individuals and unraveling their unique personalities as they grow and thrive in a loving environment.
As wild animals, we respect and understand their needs, their behaviors, their boundaries, and spare no effort to offer each animal a naturalistic enclosure where they can exhibit their wild instincts. However, they are also given the privilege to come indoors, to rest on our couch, to sleep in our bed, spending their lives knowing they are cherished.
We also help our local wildlife rehabilitation centers by providing relief when there is overflow, assist with raising baby animals, and allow rehabilitated animals to be released back into the wild our on wooded and protected property.
Through dedication and understanding, we strive to make a lasting impact on the life of every animal that enters our sanctuary.
By showcasing them as individuals deserving compassion and respect, we hope to inspire broader conservation efforts and change perspectives on these often misunderstood creatures.
Juniper & Family
Our mission is to provide refuge for animals that have been injured, abused, or discarded. We provide biologically appropriate meals, naturalistic enclosures, exotic vet care, and so much more.
However, we cannot achieve our mission alone.
We rely heavily on the generous support of our community to continue providing the care and resources these animals need to thrive. Your donations enable us to maintain their well-being, from medical treatments to enriching their environments. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these animals in need. Please consider contributing to our cause and becoming a vital part of our efforts to give these creatures the love and care they deserve.
