Heaven's Corner

Heaven's Corner was a unique animal sanctuary that opened its doors to the public, offering an intimate look into the lives of rescued exotic animals. Situated in West Alexandria, Ohio, this non-profit organization began as a sanctuary for abandoned creatures in 1990, eventually welcoming visitors in 1999 to help fund its vital work. Guests experienced a personal connection with wildlife, learning about the animals' stories and the importance of animal welfare. Before its closure, Heaven's Corner was known for its dedication to providing care and refuge for its diverse residents, which at one point numbered up to 150 creatures. Visitors could witness animals in habitats designed to meet their specific needs. Planned developments included a river otter exhibit completed in 2008, and ongoing construction for bear and large cat habitats, indicating a commitment to enhancing both animal welfare and visitor experience. The zoo fostered an environment where education and appreciation for exotic animals thrived, attracting students and families from across the region. It offered a chance to see a variety of species that had found a second chance at life, making it a beloved local attraction for over a decade. The emphasis was on responsible animal ownership and understanding the behaviors of these magnificent creatures.
