Popcorn Park Animal Refuge

Popcorn Park Animal Refuge In a short time and as the need arose, we expanded to include exotic and domestic farm animals.
(1801)

Nonprofit Animal Refuge located in Forked River NJ since 1977 as a part of Associated Humane Societies
Sanctuary for animals big and small who have faced desperate circumstances Click to donate: https://ahs.givecloud.co/give

Popcorn Park Animal Refuge was established in 1977 for the sole purpose of providing a refuge for wildlife that were sick, elderly, abandoned, abused, or injured, and which c

ould no longer survive in its natural habitat. All our residents once faced these circumstances, as well as exploitation and illegal ownership. You may be greeted at the gate by a parade of peacocks, around the corner you’ll see African lions, tigers, mountain lions, primates as well as native wildlife such as white-tailed and fallow deer, and American black bears. Farm animals such as horses, donkeys, llamas, sheep, pigs and goats often look for some visitors, and reptiles and tortoises enjoy their own special places. In addition, you'll find numerous species of birds have made themselves comfortable throughout the park. But what makes Popcorn Park so special is that each animal was rescued from suffering, exploitation and/or death - each has its own unique story to tell.

This week our ACOs teamed up with the amazing Barnegat Fire Department to help rescue two tiny baby raccoons after their mom sadly passed away. 🦝💔

The babies were left all alone high up in a tree, and due to their young age we knew they needed immediate specialized care from a licensed wildlife rehabber. With the help of the Barnegat Fire Department and some incredible teamwork, we were able to safely bring both babies down and transport them to a rehab facility where they can get the care, warmth, and second chance they deserve. ❤️

We are so grateful for our local first responders and everyone who came together to help these little ones. It truly takes a community to make a difference. 🐾

🐷 Beautiful Peggy is out and rooting around in her grassy yard!

Potbellied pigs like Peggy, and pigs in general, love to graze and explore using their snouts to search for weeds, bugs, roots, and anything interesting they can uncover 🌿

This natural rooting behavior doesn’t just keep her busy, it also helps support healthy digestion and contributes to a strong immune system 💛
