About
SHELTER FACILITIES - THE ASSOCIATED HUMANE SOCIETIES, (AHS), STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT WILD ANIMALS SHOULD LIVE FREE AND UNCAGED. POPCORN PARK LOCATED AT OUR AHS-LACEY FACILITY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1977 FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING A REFUGE TO SICK, INJURED, PERMANENTLY DISABLED, ABANDONED, ELDERLY, AND UN-RELEASABLE WILDLIFE, FARM ANIMALS, AND EXOTIC ANIMALS THAT WOULD BE UNABLE TO SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN. POPCORN PARK TAKES IN ANIMALS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SUCH AS A THREE-LEGGED FOX FROM KUWAIT, A BLIND BENGAL TIGER FROM A MARYLAND ZOO, AND PATAS MONKEYS FROM A RESEARCH LAB, TO NAME A FEW. POPCORN PARK IS A FEDERALLY LICENSED ZOO THAT IS HOME TO STRICTLY RESCUED ANIMALS. NO ANIMAL IS EVER PURCHASED OR BRED. EVERY ANIMAL THAT COMES TO POPCORN PARK IS HOUSED IN A HABITAT THAT IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO FEEL MUCH LIKE THEIR NATIVE HOME. VISITORS ARE WELCOME AT POPCORN PARK TO VIEW THESE ANIMALS AND READ THE STORIES OF HOW THEY CAME TO LIVE AT THE REFUGE. ZOO VETERINARIANS ARE ON STAFF TO PROVIDE THE POPCORN PARK RESIDENTS WITH MEDICAL CARE AND WELLNESS CHECKS AND IF THERE IS EVER EXTENSIVE MEDICAL CARE THAT AN ANIMAL NEEDS THAT CANNOT BE PROVIDED ON-SITE, ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE FOR THE ANIMAL TO BE TRANSPORTED TO A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL THAT CAN PROVIDE THAT CARE.
