Animal Wonders’ ambassadors with Jessi

After rescuing 30 animals in Montana's wilderness, Jessi and Augusto started Animal Wonders in 2008. Since then, they’ve been providing a safe home for the animals while sharing the healing power of animals with the greater public through their YouTube channel!

Animal Wonders' Animal Ambassadors include over 100 animals, and our campers got to meet Joy the Macaw, Starburst the Gopher Snake, Kemosabe the Porcupine, Hazel the Bunny, and Huckleberry the Beaver!

So many of our camp kids have been eagerly awaiting to meet Jessi and the animals, and they’ve been working their brilliant creative minds to make some special gifts for them. You’ll find cards, portraits, trinkets, homes, and so much more that our campers thoughtfully made to share with the rescued wildlife at Animal Wonders.

Even though we are separated by hundreds of miles, the kids have an incredible desire to provide support and love in the best ways they can to the animals at Jessi’s compound. How wonderful is it to share inspiration, kindness, and joy through learning about wildlife!

Which animal were you most excited to meet? In what ways will you share comfort and support with these animals in the future?

If you made special gifts for these furry, feathered, quilled, scaled creatures, send them to your Animal Wonders friends here:
PO BOX 7833, Missoula, MT 59807.
