A Message from Our Founder
About Wild in the Country
Wild in the Country is Lions Tigers & Bears' signature fundraising event, bringing together animal lovers, community supporters, and advocates for a magical afternoon in San Diego’s beautiful countryside. This unforgettable event features live entertainment, gourmet dining, exciting live and silent auctions, and the opportunity to connect with the incredible rescued animals that call the sanctuary home.
Proceeds from Wild in the Country directly support the lifelong care of our rescued animals and help fund critical rescue missions, medical care, habitat improvements, and sanctuary operations. By attending, you play a vital role in giving abused and neglected animals a second chance at life, free from exploitation and harm.
Join us for this extraordinary day to make a difference in the lives of animals in need while enjoying an evening of compassion, community, and celebration. Together, we can save lives and ensure a brighter future for wildlife everywhere.
