The interior of Horse Creek Wildlife Sanctuary and Animal Refuge is devoted to the wildlife that exists here.  We protect their natural habitat. 

 

They live as nature intended, uninterrupted by us with any noises or pollution or litter. 

 

 

Horse Creek runs through the heart of the sanctuary, providing a year-round water source.

The open fields and tree-covered hills provide varying landscape and vegetation for many different species of animals.

Deer, turkeys, coyotes, foxes and bald eagles are prevalent, as well as many, many smaller creatures.

It is against the law in the state of Tennessee for us or any unlicensed individual to harbor or administer medical attention to wildlife.  If you have questions concerning wounded or threatened wildlife, you are urged to call the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.  In our area, the closest office is located in Jackson, Tennessee at (800) 372-3928.
