Bellowing Acres is located in Putnam County, Florida.
We are open for appointment-only, guided reptile tours. You will learn about and see our crocodilians, tortoises, and other reptiles. Mammals and birds are not available for viewing at this time, but will be added to tours sometime in 2027!
Our sanctuary has natural dirt trails rather than paved walkways, so accessibility can vary depending on individual mobility needs. We do have a golf cart available to help transport guests around the property when needed. Please note that we do not have public restrooms on-site. We’re happy to discuss individual accessibility needs to see what accommodations we can provide!
We will not offer any hands-on wildlife or animal encounters. Guided tours will be for viewing only. Many of our rescued animals are shy and do not like human interaction. None of our animals are ever forced to do anything they do not want to do. During our tour, you will get to see our resident animals and learn about their individual stories and how they ended up at the sanctuary!
If you need to talk to us about surrendering an animal, you can email us at floridaswildestanimalrescue@gmail.com
We are home to a variety of animals including alligators, crocodiles, skunks, foxes, coatimundis, snakes, tortoises, and parrots.
With the exception of a few personal animals that live on the property, all of our animals came to us for permanent placement. Some were rescued, a few were donated by other facilities, and many came to us after their families had major life changes and they could no care for them, or they wanted a better life for them at the sanctuary. Each one of our animals has a name and a story.
If you have an alligator in your backyard, we suggest you keep a respectable distance. Do not walk your pets or allow children by the water's edge anywhere in Florida. Never feed alligators or try to touch them.
You cannot contact us directly about nuisance alligators. If you are concerned about an alligator, you can call FWC's statewide nuisance alligator program. Remember, you cannot request specific trappers and most trappers will euthanize the animal.
We work with a few select trappers who donate nuisance alligators instead of euthanizing them.
At this time we do not have an official volunteer program.
