Getting prepped!

June 26, 2018 by Anna

Exciting things are happening at the sanctuary! We are preparing to break ground on Phase 1 of our expansion plans! Today JB moved our temporary clinic/break room (AKA the Desert Fox travel trailer) just outside the perimeter fence to make way for the construction that is imminent! We also have a special groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for Saturday and a date set for construction to begin early next month! We will post a more thorough blog update soon, with the details of what’s to come with our expansion, but for now enjoy these photos from today.

Ellie the elk was on hand to supervise the trailer moving process:

Annie, Negra, and Foxie investigating the new empty space in their view:

Here’s what their view looks like now! Next up, this shelter is going to be transplanted to a new location at the sanctuary. Stay tuned!

    I may be more excited than Annie, Foxie and Negra! Love that photo of the three, what must they be thinking as they watch changes being made to their home?! I am SO happy for you all, and I am excited to see the progress unfold! And thank you to Ellie for over seeing everything today. (How did Boss Jamie hand over that key role?!)

    Here’s to expansion!
