Does such a place exist? It can if you're willing to help. Animal Rescue Camp and Amusement Park is a variation of the popular "Pony Park" I once visited in Holland. I want to help animals in a big way, and because the Pony Park is a people crowding paying successful operation, speculation Animal Rescue Park will be a profitable operation for offering jobs and benefiting animals.

It starts with the purchase of large scale land acreage, and zoned to allow camping, interaction with animals, amusements, tents, cabins, grills, swimming pool, band entertainment, restaurant, souveniere store, a warehouse and farm, etc. It would have to be in the country somewhere. West VA areas within three hours from the Metro region is a suggestive place. People escape from Metro Cities for vacation. That is why no more than three hours away from any major city, or it may be too far to produce enough business and enough people necessary to adopt out animals.

People who pay to enter, can enter for the day, camp overnight in tent or cabin. This ensures flexible rates, and promotes more visitors. Then with more visitors are more chances to adopt out animals. The Rescue Camp Amusement Park will only operate Spring/Summer/Fall. By end of Fall, the goal is, all or most animals (in the first cycle of the 3-Seasons)have been adopted out. When one animal leaves, the park accepts a new animal to replace for ensuring enough animals for camper interactions. Remaining animals, end of season, can remain in the warehouse shelter supervised, cared for, and marketed for adoption over Winter. When park opens again in Spring, animals not adopted in Winter are promoted as first choice for camper interaction to facilitate their adoption.

The park offers vacation, relaxation, entertainment, and a new adopted animal family member, to the majority of campers. The "camper" brings a tent, or rents a cabin, and some will come for the day. Grills will be stationed at each camp site. During tenancy, camper has time to choose a pet to stay with him/her during reservation time. Camper is provided food, and other minor essentials for the animal. Animal receives love, shelter, food, human interaction from camper during reservation stay. If animal not adopted by this camper, animal gets another camper chance. The result is, over the three seasons, the pet receives love, human interaction, shelter (tent, cabin), food and exercise, and a variety of campers over the season. Next amusement, Camper can partake in either "theatrical style" or "talent style" shows (pre-designed or campers design in togetherness in 3 days) for providing family animal show entertainment. A fun time for dressing crazy, using props, acting, reading scripts. It was done at Pony Park, and the people enjoyed it. Not all campers will want to partake in the acting. Those that do not want to act will be the watchers, and will have entertainment by the camper and animal performers. Surely, there will also be horses and ponies for rescue. Horse and ponies offer amusement in the form of stampeeds, running back to the barn from pasture when feed time arises. For amusement, there will be a swimming pool to enjoy, staioned close to cook-out grills, picnic tables, and a music performing band. There will also be a dog swimming pool, but may be better to station the doggy pool in the area of theatrical entertainment. At the swimming pool, band area, a souveniere store to sell camping supplies and animal souveniers. A restaurant (in another area on the land) will offer dining out. Dogs and other animals can be equipped with trays to bring drinks (proabably streching it here-lol!) For campers amusement there can be small ponies to use for walking their child around amusement park on hike; and the child, if so desires, may, with parents permission and liabilities waiver signed by parent, ride a pony. Actually, any animal, camper should sign a liability waiver. For campers amusement, pony, dog, rabbit, lizard, cat, can be stationed at cabin or tent for offering human interaction, bonding, feeding, grooming between camper, the kids and the animals. For campers amusement, he/she will explore the large warehouse of many adoptable animals. For campers amusement, he/she may enterain in a pony driven or horse driven carriage ride. Carriage Rides also great photo shots for wedding couples. For campers amusement, a select few amusement rides (donationed or purchased) will be at the park for something else that can be done for a several day reservation stay.

I am looking for individuals interested in bringing to reality this Rescue Park, and be willing to offer financing, and become business partners or investors. Would you pay to come to the Animal Rescue Camp Park? Once funds are raised, a consultant will be contracted to analize cost of operating the facility for determining the camping rate. One or more veterinarians and First Aid station will also be utilized at this park, with as many people who want to work with animals, nature, kids and families. Hope your interested in making this reality.
