Private Tours
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND DO NOT HAVE REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS.
As noted above, we are not open to the public and do not have regular business hours as the rescue is operated from our home.
Sponsorship/Patreon Tours: Free Private tours are offered to NSLB supporters who sponsor a resident or are patrons pledging at least $10 per month. Information about Sponsorship is located here. Information about Patreon is located here.
Due to work schedules outside of the rescue in conjunction with rescue operations, weekends work best for tours. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may pose. We thank you for your understanding in that the care of the residents must come first, and that time is limited and precious. That being said, with enough time & planning we may be able to accommodate a weekday visit if you have flexibility in your schedule. Please email us to schedule your private tour. We ask that you please submit your request for your private tour at least 2 weeks in advance.
Monthly Guided Tours: We offer guided tours monthly, June through September. We request a $30 donation per visitor age 16 and above and a $15 donation per visitor age 15 and under. Tours are approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes long.
