Due to the increasing concerns surrounding COVID-19, Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary has decided to close the sanctuary to the public as a precautionary measure. As the hours go by and more and more businesses, schools, and organizations close because of this public health crisis, it is clear that this is the best decision to protect the health and safety of our 1,300 amazing animal residents, our hardworking staff members, and our visitors and volunteers. We will continue to closely monitor the CDC and local government agencies and will reevaluate the situation as it evolves.
