Ways You Can Help

DONATIONS

Donations help Animal Junction continue its purpose and mission. The proceeds from our programs presently do not cover all the expenses incurred at our facility, and we are truly grateful to our sponsors who have donated monetary and in-kind gifts, supplies, time or other assistance. Your donations will not only help us offset the costs of caring for and feeding our animals, but will also help provide public educational programs and help to save wildlife.

We started our search to obtain a larger property here in Bucks County and we need help from the community.  We are looking for at least 50 acres of land to be donated or leased so we can proceed with our next project, a larger indoor/outdoor zoological garden. Please contact Jungle Joe if you can help
