Department of Agriculture (USDA)-which currently has dozens of charges for Animal Welfare Act violations pending against the facility-many of the deaths at Serenity Springs involved improper handling or denial of veterinary care, including improperly bottle-feeding a bear cub, causing him to inhale milk into his lungs and die. Holders of captive-bred wildlife permits are also required to keep animals in “humane and healthful conditions”-a requirement, PETA contends, that Serenity Springs cannot possibility satisfy. PETA also notes Serenity Springs’ egregious record of mortalities-approximately one-third of the animals held captive there have died over the past five years. Among other things, PETA points out that Serenity Springs breeds white tigers, which are hybrids with no conservation value. In its comments, PETA documents why the facility cannot meet the legal requirements for a breeding permit under the Endangered Species Act, which requires a conservation breeding program that promotes the survival of the species in the wild. ![]() Fish & Wildlife Service opposing Calhan-based roadside zoo Serenity Springs’ bid for a permit to breed endangered animals, including tigers, leopards, and cheetahs.

Our hope is to offer both Multi-Generation Australian Labradoodles, in a variety of colors. We are so excited to share this joy with others. After becoming owners ourselves, Ron & I decided that we would like to open our home up to raising this wonderful breed. The ideal candidate will be well-rounded and collaborative with a strong passion for patient care in the outpatient setting. A year later, we became a guardian home for Sutter Buttes Labradoodles, and acquired our “Irish Rose” aka “Rosie”. Our Colorado Springs clinic will be opening early to mid Summer of 2023. We got “Ozzy” our first “Doodle” in 2008 from Jubilee Labradoodles. It was LOVE at first sight! After I returned home, I researched the breed and found the answer for my instant connection to these beautiful animals! I was first introduced to the Labradoodle breed while on a cancer walk in Seattle, Washington. We enjoy taking our “Doodles” to romp and play in the nearby Sacramento River and Black Butte Lake. We are West of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and East of the Mendocino National Forest. Orland is a small farming community where Ron grew up on his family’s almond farm. We are north of Sacramento in Glenn County. My husband Ron and I live with our “Doodles” in Orland, California. To qualified breeders, we do still offer stud service with one of our boys. Welcome!
