It’s always a delight to bring animals to you all. We’re not sure who gets more joy from it, your residents or staff😉

The summer rush is over! At one point, you couldn’t get a tour for even three weeks in advance! That has changed as school is back in session. That means more immediate booking availability. That also means some of our tours this time of the year don’t reach maximum capacity (meaning you might have a more personal/private tour). Visit our website to book a tour.

We have the best vet! Dr. Sarah Wallace just got done with checkups, vaccines, and all the other fun stuff on our bi-annual care plan. She travels quite a distance just for us. We couldn’t be more grateful.

Looks like Mr. Wallace made the cover! We’re glad to be one of Tennessee’s Capybara destinations!

Tennessee has several attractions where animal lovers can watch capybaras eat, swim, socialize, and lounge around like they have nowhere else to be.
