Fire Near Sanctuary Forces Closure | Reno News

A wildfire came dangerously close to Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary, forcing an emergency shutdown and round-the-clock vigilance as firefighters battled flames to protect the animals. Though buildings and habitats remain intact, thick smoke poses serious risks—especially to birds—and staff are prepared to relocate animals if needed. Nearby sanctuaries and wildlife experts stand by to assist. Visitors are asked to stay away to keep emergency routes clear, and with no donations from the public, the sanctuary is urgently asking for support via their website or Amazon Wish List to fund food, medical care, and daily operations.
