Yeah! We Rule

Dogs Rule and Cats ...

Well, in this case we can say they are thankful there is American Dog Rescue!

Update: April 1st-The Lookout Mountain Zoo cats have been successfully relocated to Tigers For Tomorrow. Thank you to everyone out there that pitched in and showed there support with a donation towards the American Dog Rescue challange grant. It just shows that if everyone works together it is possible to reach goals and make a diffrence.  Many thanks again to American Dog Rescue, the Elinor Baker Paterson Foundation, The Folke H. Peterson Foundation and Lee Energy Solutions of Crossville. The area the animals are now livng in is still under construction, we are hoping by fall to be able to open up to the public.

We’ve been challenged! American dog rescue has issued the supporters of Tigers For Tomorrow a $10,000 challenge grant to help Tigers For Tomorrow relocate the last two cats from the Look Out Mountain Zoo to Untamed Mountain.

Tigers for Tomorrow at UNTAMED MOUNTAIN is now taking reservation for the Fall school field trips

During your class visit, we cover grade-specific learning objectives in life science and agriscience, and provide follow-up materials for your teachers upon request. Our environmental center will provide your group with trails through the habitat areas in our preserve, a picnic pavilion, clean restrooms, and professional staff. Tigers for Tomorrow is licensed by the USDA and Alabama State Wildlife agencies, and has a 7-year history of successful education programs with school and community groups.

May 1-September 15, we are open to the public no reservation necessary for unguided walk-throughs  every wednesday and thursday 9am -1pm, park closes at 2pm, and Friday,  Saturday and Sunday from 9am-4pm. Park closes at 5pm. We will take reservations for private tours, groupl tours and field trips throughout the week.

We do occasionally close if there are storms or if it is forecasted to rain all day. If you are thinking about coming out on a rainy day just call first, there will be a recording on by 8 am if we are closed.

Cameras and Photos: Please read, we do not expect you all to agree with our policy, and we will not repond to emails in regards to our photo ppolicy. Our policy here at the preserve is NO photos. Why is this? Well because first and most importantly, because we are a sanctuary, or as we like to say a preserve. We are not a zoo, there are three great zoos in the area, Birmingham, Atlanta and Chattanooga, all of which do allow photos and they are a great place to visit to take photos and support their mission of conservation and education. However, we are a preserve, our animals come from various places, some of them have had great lives prior to coming here and some of them have not. Our goal is to give the animals that live at UNTAMED Mountain a peaceful life and we will do what ever that takes, and a few times we have run across people that did not respect our policies and aggravated the animals just for a picture. So we decided at that time that pictures would not be allowed. Visitors that understand our mission and come to visit the preserve for the animals have never had a problem with this policy. We do sell photos at the gift shop and offer Guardian Angel adoptions for those who want a photo of their favorite animal. We would like to thank all of our guest who have been more than supportive of this policy and have continued time and time again to visit. Your visiting helps us support the animals and the park, and because everyone has been so kind, the Board of Director has decided to begin allowing photos for those on private tours under the supervision of a tour guide.

Yona the Grizzly

Tigers for Tomorrow receives frequent calls, many of them urgent, asking TfT to adopt animals of all sorts. Sadly, TfT can not accept all requests due to the additional funding that would be needed for new habitats, food, veterinarian care, etc. Adoptions are accepted as Sue and Wilbur are able. All of us know they would love to say yes to all calls for help.

With the construction of the new bear habitat, they were able to say yes! to the adoption of this special 6 month old grizzly. He calls Untamed Mountain his permanent home where you can visit him. What fun this will be to watch him grow!

Come See Me

On June 18th Tigers for Tomorrow at Untamed Mountain opened the first section of the West Side Preserve. Cowboy says, "Come see me. I am the second largest tiger at the preserve and have been waiting patiently for this section to open. You’ll also get to see my neighbors Boris the Great, a recently adopted African lion along with Dakota, a friendly mountain lion. The new wolf pack habitat is in this section, so you can view “juveniles” Tanke, and Wamble, with their adult wolf teachers in action. We are all so excited to see you and be seen!"

The West Side Preserve will eventually be the main entrance to the Tigers for Tomorrow preserve. The second phase of the West Side Preserve is the under-construction bear habitats, soon to be home of Cody and Ranger, the newly adopted black bear cub.

Tigers For Tomorrow is a exotic animal park and rescue preserve. We are home to over 105 animals. We are a last stop preserve, and the animals that come to live with us remain here for the rest of their lives.

Can we visit the Preserve?

Yes! The preserve is open to the public (please see hours below). Our last admission is at 4:00pm. Visitors entering at 4:00pm are welcome to stay until 5:00pm.

There are a few ways to visit. First, you can do a walk about. This is a general walk around at your lesiure. When you first get to the preserve you will be greeted by Zack and Tootles, our young Camel and Zebra. Next stop is the Childrens Barnyard Contact Area. This is the only area visitors will be able to interact with the animals. The Barnyard is home to Goats, LLamas, Sheep, Emus and some assorted other animals. A short distance away is the Carnivore Compound where you will be greeted by our volunteers, and if you are lucky, by the howling of Bear and Lakota, our Timber Wolves. The carnivore compound is currently 10 arces and houses over 35 big cats, yes, tigers, lions, cougars, leopards and more.

There is no need for a reservation to do a walk about. Admission is $10.00 for adults 12 and over, $5.00 for children ages 3-11, and children under 3 are free.
