While peak times of the year can spell 2300 visitors a day, Winter Weather can mean as few as 15 people a day. With little money coming in from admissions, the zoo is making an online push for blankets, heaters and more. Some people donating say these rescue animals are especially deserving. They need that extra love because a lot of them came from an unloving environment.
