Wish List

Thank you for checking out our Wish List!

The following list is designed to help you identify most needed items that are essential to the everyday care of the animals in our rehabilitation program and those that reside as permanent wildlife residents at the Sanctuary.

In addition, specific items can be purchased online via our  AMAZON WISH LIST and they will automatically be shipped directly to the Sanctuary.

Or let us do the shopping for you!  By making a monetary donation it provides the flexibility for us to purchase items as the animals need them.  


If you have any questions about items to donate, or if you need more information about delivering your donation, please call our office at 705-732-6368 or email us at info.aspenvalley.org.
