Animal Sanctuary
Predators of the Heart is the most diverse exotic animal refuge of its kind in the State of Washington. We are dedicated to helping all species of wild animals who, for various reasons, find themselves without a place to live out their lives. Many of our tenants are victims of divorce, foreclosure, financial hardship or were purchased by people who were ill-prepared for the specialized care that most of these animals require.
We are an animal rescue and preservation establishment, not a "sanctuary".
Reptile Programs
Reptile programs may include an 8 foot American alligator, 12 foot king cobra, 100 pound alligator snapping turtle, giant Burmese pythons, gila monster, copperhead, cotton mouth, green mamba, rattlesnake, lizards, and other reptiles from our collection of 28 species.
(Venomous snakes have had their venom glands surgically removed and are handled with extreme caution.)
Animal Encounters
Educational and entertaining close up of nature’s most amazing animals. Just when you thought you had seen it all, out comes another awe inspiring animal! This crowd pleasing program incorporates audio, video, and live exhibits.
Animal Encounters are ideal for private parties, classroom discovery, corporate events, and school assemblies. Animal encounters may be specific to one species or a combination from our large collection. 30 or 60 minute programs available.
