To improve the physical and psychological well-being of wild animals in human care by providing and enhancing enrichment for those animals through the donation of recycled and other materials, workshops, and other services.
Hose2Habitat, headquartered in Maryland, is the only nonprofit organization in the world whose mission is to improve the physical and psychological well-being of wild animals in human care by providing and enhancing enrichment for those animals through the donation of recycled and other materials, workshops, and other services. We are 100% volunteer and our enrichment materials, workshops, and other services are free to keepers and animal care facilities so that cost to a facility does not prevent benefit to the animals. Usually, the enrichment we make and teach zookeepers about is made from stuff that would otherwise get tossed into landfills, so we're helping the environment, too.
We've worked with thousands of keepers and other animal care professionals and hundreds of zoos, animal sanctuaries, and other facilities. We learn a lot and meet some very good people along the way. We share what we learn and are always looking for ways to be of better service to the animals and the people who care for them. All of that can bring a lot of joy to a lot of living things. Together, we work hard, learn much, and be of service. It's not just fun. It's joyful.
