Donations for the animals of Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch

Please visit our Donate page, under the third tab above, where we have posted a list of items that our sweet animals could sure use! It's a simple list of items used everyday by our zookeepers and that you might have at home. Before you put them in the trash, or in a garage sale, think about donating them to us!!!

A Year of Giving!

February: American Heart Month

Thank you seems appropriate as 2019 comes to a close. We are grateful to all of our guests who come out in support of the ranch whether it was the first time or the tenth time. Your patronage here at the ranch helps us maintain and care for the animals that call Sharkarosa home. In the spirit of giving, as we receive so much from our sponsors, guests and community, Sharkarosa will be recognizing and/or giving back each month! Stay tuned to our social media accounts and this website for further announcements!!

During the month of February we will be acknowledging American Heart Month! Sharkarosa will be donating a portion of our proceeds for the month to the American Heart Association for the month of February!

Additionally, each guest who presents wearing red, will receive one free bag of animal feed!

Come out and join us this February to show your support for heart health!

Sharkarosa is open to the public each Saturday and Sunday, year-round, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

With Regard to Groupon From our COO/Director of Operations:

To our guests, both old and new:

Recently, we had someone threaten to give us a bad review because they didn't understand our Groupon Policy. Our Groupon policy is a contract with Groupon and, simply put, states that you can not use a Groupon the same day you purchase it for Sharkarosa.

This policy is reiterated on all of our social media, our website, our front gate and our ticket window. Primarily it is on the Groupon site listed in the fine print which should be read prior to purchase.

We appreciate your continued support of the ranch. Please understand our staff is simply doing their jobs and following the protocol set up with Groupon.

With humble gratitude-

Nancy J. Gorman,

Director of Operations/Chief Operating Officer
