The care and compassion you have for your animals. How you know all of their back stories and the patience you have for all--even though you are working constantly to care and feed them all. I wish with all my heart you had someone who would fund all that you do and allow you to hire help.
Response from 3 Palms Zoo & Education CenterOct 20, 2026
Thank you, Dorie. That means more than you know. The animals are worth every bit of it, and kind words like yours help keep it going. Come see us anytime.

Great Animal Sanctuary in DE to Visit !!
November 2025, a friend and I rescued a domestic Toulouse Goose that was abandoned where I live in northern NCC. 3 Palms accepted it right away and nurtured her back to health. Now she is has her own little family there!! I enjoy visiting Basil and ALL of the other waterfowl, chickens, roosters and all other animals . They are a JOY to see and feed by hand!! I enjoying listening to the music while visiting, and all of their seasonal events! It is really relaxing and fun. This is a great rescue and sanctuary that offers a 2nd chance to life for all of these waterfowl and animals ! Great Job 3 Palms ! Thank you so much for everything you do for these animals and sharing with the public.

Thank you, Michele — and thank you again for Basil. She has her little family here now because of you and Lorna. Come visit her anytime.
