Rescue. Rehabilitate. Educate.
Mission Statement
At Scales & Tails Sanctuary, our mission is to inspire a deeper appreciation for wildlife through education, conservation, rescue, and meaningful animal encounters. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Orange County and Southeast Texas, we are dedicated to creating a safe and enriching environment where animals can thrive and visitors of all ages can connect with nature.
Through hands-on learning experiences, responsible animal care, community outreach, and conservation-focused programs, we strive to foster compassion, curiosity, and stewardship for the natural world. Our vision is to build a destination that not only provides exceptional care for animals but also serves as a place where families, schools, and wildlife enthusiasts can learn, explore, and create lasting memories while supporting the preservation of wildlife for future generations.
"Connecting People, Inspiring Conservation, Changing Lives."
Donate to the Cause
Donation Appreciated
While donations are never required, they are always greatly appreciated. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us provide exceptional care for our animals, expand educational opportunities, support conservation efforts, and continue building a sanctuary that will serve our community for generations to come. Your support helps turn our vision into reality, and we are incredibly grateful for everyone who chooses to be part of our journey.
One Dollar for Southeast Texas
Southeast Texas has always been a community that comes together when it matters most. Today, we're asking you to be part of something that will leave a lasting impact for generations to come.
Scales & Tails Sanctuary is being built right here in SETX to provide a safe haven for rescued wildlife, create hands-on educational opportunities for local schools and families, support conservation efforts, and become a destination our community can be proud to call its own.
We're not asking for large donations. We're asking our neighbors to stand with us.
Just $1.
If every person in Southeast Texas donated only one dollar, together we could create something truly incredible—a place where children can learn, rescued animals can thrive, and conservation becomes a shared mission for our entire community.
No donation is too small. Every single dollar helps provide food, veterinary care, habitat construction, educational programs, and a brighter future for the animals that depend on us.
One Community. One Dollar. One Lasting Legacy.
Join us in building Southeast Texas' own wildlife sanctuary—because extraordinary things happen when a community comes together.
