“If we have the ability to help an animal in need, then we are morally obligated to do so”

Extinct is Forever!

We are located just west of Barrie, Ontario in Canada.

We are a volunteer driven non-profit organization dedicated to the survival of rare and endangered species. We are also involved in humane wildlife rescue and rehabilitation of animals involved in public concerns, and as always, we provide a safe haven for unwanted, abused and injured exotic and zoo surplus animals.

Please help us care for our new Mini Horse!
