Program accomplishments

  • MOBILE ZOO ANIMAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS: ZOOMAGINATION IS UNIQUE IN THAT WE NOT ONLY PROVIDE RESCUE AND REHABILITATION SERVICES, BUT WE ALSO USE THESE ANIMALS AND OUR PLATFORMS IN SCHOOLS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES TO EDUCATE THE SAN ANTONIO COMMUNITY ABOUT OWNING AND REHOMING EXOTIC AND COMPANION ANIMALS AND PRESERVING HABITATS OF WILDLIFE. THROUGH CLASSES, ASSEMBLIES, SCIENCE FAIR BOOTHS, CAREER DAYS, AND SPECIAL NEEDS CLASSES, WE BRING THE ANIMALS FROM OUR RANCH TO LOCAL SCHOOLS, DAYCARES, NONPROFITS, AND CORPORATIONS. THESE MOBILE ZOO ANIMAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS EDUCATE YOUTH IN THE SAN ANTONIO COMMUNITY ABOUT CARING FOR COMPANION ANIMALS AND WILDLIFE.
