 The Edwards Foundation and it's board of directors have long sought sanctuary for animals which are neglected or deprived of the possibility to thrive. Many of the animals in our care have been in situations which caused them to be in peril of being deprived of life.
Some of our animals have come from Denver Zoo. Our two African burros, two zebu (sacred Indian cattle) and three goats were in a petting area called the Kraal. Since the animals’ behavior wasn’t conducive to a contact area, especially being around toddlers, the zoo staff looked to their former volunteers for assistance. The Kraal animals were successfully placed with us and have since done well in our larger property.
Another example is Easy, a fox trotter, too old and medically unsound to complete his government job of hauling materials up steep mountain slopes in order to build trails. Easy developed a respiratory ailment from working for years at high altitude and cold weather. He was not expected to live more than a year. He was welcomed by the foundation and has lived here for 10 years, and still going strong.
