Beautiful at night, perfect for photos!

A Gorgeous and Romantic Experience with a Purpose: A perfect meeting of a romantic, private getaway and supporting the protection and care of animals. Lions, Tigers & Bears is already one of the best sanctuaries you could visit. Great location, very nice and knowledgeable staff, and of course amazing animals that are being greatly cared for. The chance to stay at such a place is an opportunity that no one should pass up. You can drive right up to the house with easy parking. Very kind staff members showed us to the suite and gave a great rundown of amenities (a grand grill, fire pit, hot tub, and pool with a waterfall outside, and inside a fireplace, and a complimentary bottle of wine just to mention a few). The two-bedroom stay is wildlife-themed with lots of fun decor to discover. The bedroom has every pillow option possible and warm blankets you'll want to ask where they got them. The sanctuary closes to the public around 4 pm, so you get to walk around to experience a quiet and gorgeous sunset (a must) and after dark use the complimentary lantern to explore the place after dark (perfect view of the moon, stars and get to hear lots of night roars). Pick one of their multiple coffee options and enjoy a cup just outside the door and view two lovely tigers playing in an enclosure right beside the suite. It's hard to fully describe the serene, romantic, and soul-enriching experience that is staying in a sanctuary filled with such gorgeous and great animals that are being passionately taken care of. And the best part of all of it? The money goes towards making that care even better for current and future wildlife occupants. Escape the city, forget the hotels, and skip the amusement parks. Stay somewhere with a purpose like White Oak. We are already planning our next visit.

Witnessed this walking the grounds in the AM!

We not only visited the accredited animal sanctuary with a private tour, but we also spent the night in their well-appointed 2 bedroom guest home! The excitement of being on site is a thrill of a Lifetime! To wake up to the sounds of lion roars was incredible! The guest home has all that you would need plus more...like a jacuzzi, pools, outdoor grill and numerous outdoor seating areas with views of their majestic animals. Our visit is one we will never forget. BTW, everyone on staff was more than helpful and welcoming.

My experience inside White Oaks and out.

My wife, our four horses, and I have been clients of Len Judd for 6 years now, and we have followed him to the Horse of the Sun Ranch and Distinction Training. We make a 3 hour round trip drive to have Len help us with starting our new colts. We have watched the physical improvements to the facility under it's new ownership and it has come a long way with more to come. We have visited a number of times now, including a couple of 3-4 day stays on the property. We see a nothing less than quality care for the horses in residence. Len and Bethani are particularly keen on the quality of their feed even to the extent of concern for what our horses are fed back at home. These folks have nothing less than the greatest concern for the animals in their care. I've watched a small crew feed, water and muck all the pens on my every visit there. Horse of the Sun is now a training facility with training now exclusively from Len and Bethani, and not a general boarding facility. Len delivers such a depth of knowledge and new skills that we often find ourselves able to go months before we bring him our next challenge. Bethani has a great eye for what goes on with the rider and the horse and her observations have also been very helpful. We feel fortunate to have Len's experience with our first starting of young horses.

This little nature reserve was such a unique and enlightening experience! It was educational, fun,…read moreand full of furry, cute animals :) The staff were friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly seemed to love and care about the animals. They have different animal experiences you can book in advance for on their website, but their most popular seems to be the one where you get to sit in a pool with otters! The session and communication beforehand were well organized and helpful. I won't spoil everything, but not only did we get to sit in a pool with otters zooming all over the place at the end, but we got to learn about, see, and touch about 6 other types of animals up close + walk through some of the property to view some other saved animals. For the otter swim, the team will take tons of photos using your phone or camera, so you can just enjoy the moment! They recommend wearing a tank or shirt over your swim suit (there will be time to change into it right before the swim), and J wish I wore a looser shirt, because it gives more space for the otters to wiggle in and explore :D Plenty of parking, clean restrooms on site, bring your own water/snacks if needed. Definitely a little pricey, but it goes to support the reserve and its little critters and was such a fun time! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a special experience for any animal lover :)

I was a fresh senior in High School and needed the support. Shelley was almost at every appointment or taking me to every appointment. Shelley and I literally took a pregnancy yoga class together, which she encouraged because I am an activity girl. The doulas at SDIBP will always be there for you and go the extra mile to help you achieve the best pregnancy and birthing experience ever. When I was getting ready to have my second baby, I immediately reached out to Shelley to share the news and asked her to be my doula again. This connection and any connection you make at SDIBP is lifelong and cherished.

I sent her a text the morning of letting her know I was feeling contractions but they weren't regular yet. She responded by telling me they probably were Braxton Hicks and all was good. I pushed back a little knowing these were Braxton Hicks. Mind you I was 39+5 at this point so labor was expected. Around 5pm was our last talk about my birthing plan. She didn't know much about my hospital but that's okay. At midnight I called a ton trying to get ahold of her cause I was headed to the hospital. She never answered. Rang her many many times. She then had the audacity to show up 30 minutes after baby was born acting like she was going to be helpful. She tried to get me to latch baby even though in my plan I stated I was exclusively pumping. A nurse actually stepped in and told her I was pumping. I was extremely disappointed in her unprofessionalism. I wish I had had my brain to tell the nurses not to let her back if she did show up, or that I had just said something right away when she got there that I didn't need or want her there. I know she probably charged my insurance for a delivery and all. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

My family & I adopted Angel (Clove) back in July '20. I initially found The Rescued Dog through…read moretheir instagram page (through a hashtag) & always kept always watched out to see when the perfect fit for our family would come up. The adoption process was incredibly simple. Since this was during covid, appointments were staggered & we got to do a meet & greet with the puppies available. I sat in a playpen with four playful puppies & watched as one found my lap, rested their face on my lap to watch their siblings continue to play. It was at that moment I knew it would be the puppy for us! I even remember one of the ladies running the meet up coming over & saying "I think your dog just chose their person." And she couldn't have been more right . Angel is smart, sassy, funny, loving, gentle, & has become the best surrogate mother/ older sister to my son. She was the first other being to feel my son kick in my belly (& nudged him back ), stuck by my side through the roughest pregnancy, & is the best dog I could have ever imagined! When we're ready to add another pup, we'll definitely be coming to The Rescued Dog again
