Black Pine Animal Sanctuary, Albion, Indiana
Refuge
For the REST of Their Lives
Our Mission: To provide a refuge to captive-raised exotic animals while educating, advocating, and building awareness about animal welfare.
Black Pine Animal Sanctuary is closed for the 2024 Season, reservations for 2025 coming soon! Behind the Scenes tours are offered all year long. Thank you for your support!!
Nestled on 18 acres in Northern Indiana Lake Country, Black Pine Animal Sanctuary is the forever home to over 60 captive raised exotic and wild animals. In 2019, BPAS became the only multi-species Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) accredited sanctuary in the state of Indiana. The sanctuary offers over ½ mile of paved trails with habitats for wolves, foxes, tigers, bobcats, and bears. In addition to the outdoor habitats, Black Pine hosts a Primate House, Reptile House, and Avian Building. As a true sanctuary, Black Pine Animal Sanctuary does not buy, sell, trade, or breed the animals living here. The animals living at BPAS will have refuge here for the REST of their lives. Most of the animal residents were voluntarily surrendered, however some were removed by legal authorities.
We offer guided tours and special events during the season.
