SUPPORT F.A.R.E
The Foundation for Animal Rescue and Education (F.A.R.E.) is a registered Canadian non-profit organization that manages Little Ray’s Nature Centre’s physical home and cares for our animals.
Scroll down to meet our Director of Development and connect to discuss a donation plan that fits you!
Many of the animals we feature in our experiences are rescues.
In fact, F.A.R.E. is the largest exotic animal rescue in Canada!
Your generous donations to F.A.R.E. help Little Ray’s house, feed, and provide professional care for our precious animals.
There are many ways to support F.A.R.E.

- Adopt an animal
- Sponsor a zoo habitat
- Donate time, materials, or media
We’re always happy to talk to animal lovers who want to help our cause!

Julie Cole - Director of Development
Julie can not remember a time when she wasn't surrounded by animals. As a young child she dreamed of a career in veterinary medicine and even though life had other plans, her strong love for nature and all of its inhabitants has remained unchanged.
As a former entrepreneur with experience in marketing, event production, fundraising and partnerships, Julie brings with her a very strong sense of community and connection. She currently manages Little Ray's donor and membership programs as well as fundraising and sponsorship initiatives.
She resides with her family in the Ottawa area, surrounded by dogs, cats, a bearded dragon and a 27 year old cockatiel that she's owned and loved since the age of 16.
