This page is dedicated to those we meet along the way. Special people and organizations who have proven to us that their efforts are sincere and benefit animals - both in captivity and in the wild... We invite you to visit their sites and encourage you to solicit information about their causes or products. To the best of our knowledge and based upon our experience with them, these people and organizations are real and honest as are their intentions.

We thank them for all they've done and continue to do for us, and for the animals whose lives they touch.


	Leopards Etc... - Rob and Barbara Dicely These two people have become very special in our lives, as have their family of cats. They and their educational program represent everything and anything that education should be. What more can we say... We wish them all the luck in the world for most animals will benefit from their success.

	You don't have to be an animal organization to benefit animals... Pro-Team is a company that donates items to benefit our EARS & GEARS Car show/fundraiser to benefit the elephants so we want any of Charlie's Corvette friends to recognize those efforts and hopefully patronize their company.

In our case, they contacted us to help us channel people to our Safari B&B which in turn helps the animals. Check out their site for more information on fun alternative places to visit in California.

Founded by Josef Rivers, mentor, dear friend and hero to Wild Thing's owner Charlie Sammut, Dragon Slayers uses animals to help people slay their dragons - their physical challenges. And yes, if your wondering and the spelling looks familiar, Charlie's lion "Josef" is in fact named after this incredible man.
