More About Black Pine Animal Sanctuary

Professional Animal Retirement Center (PARC), Inc., known locally as Black Pine Animal Sanctuary was established in 2000 to provide refuge to displaced, captive-raised exotic animals for the rest of their lives and to educate people about responsible animal care and conservation.

The sanctuary is home to nearly 100 displaced, captive-raised exotic animals. A variety of educational programs are offered throughout the year to enhance people's knowledge of exotic and endangered species, to encourage responsible captive care and behavior around potentially dangerous animals, and to protect public safety. Nearly 60 species of animals reside at the sanctuary.

Animal residents currently include big and small cats, canines, bears, primates, birds, reptiles, and more, representing over 50 species.

The sanctuary is funded solely by program fees (serving about 19,000 people annually), a gift shop, Park Pal memberships, proceeds of various fund raising events, sponsorships, individual and business donations, in-kind gifts, employer giving programs, and other fund raising initiatives.

Black Pine receives no taxpayer dollars. The mission is supported by many volunteers and participants in our unpaid internship program. The facility is managed by a volunteer board of directors and small paid staff. Veterinary services are provided by volunteers and paid staff members.
