Our Ambassador Animals

 Ambassador animals are living creatures. Therefore, for their safety, comfort and well-being we are not permitted to be offsite for more than 4-hours. Additionally, we cannot be in rooms or at venues with other animals present. For outdoor venues, weather conditions will determine the species available for that program. Due to the needs of our animals we cannot guarantee a specific animal species. We reserve the right to refuse any program that puts the safety and well-being of our animals and staff at risk.
