903 Duval Street

Charity:  MCSO Children's Animal Farm

The Sheriff's Office Animal Farm features all sorts of animals, both the traditional farm animals like miniature horses, chickens, pigs, goats and rabbits as well as exotic animals kinkajou, lemurs, capybara, coatimundi, alpaca, skunks, foxes, armadillos, an albino Burmese python, peacocks and tropical birds. Many of the animals have come from abusive or neglectful homes or have been donated by people who simply cannot care for them any longer. Farmer Selander oversees a crew of inmates from the detention center who care for the animals and who also benefit from the experience. They receive formal training in some aspects of animal husbandry which they may be able to use once they are released from the facility. At the very least, they learn to work closely with many creatures in need of the compassion and caring of a human being - an experience which cannot help but be a positive factor in their lives.

Bring cash for the 50/50 raffle, as always, all proceeds will go directly to the charity.

Wear your Castaways attire and lanyard for extra raffle tickets!

Guests Welcome!
