LIVE! Private Shelter Tour for You and Three Friends

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the hospital door after you’ve dropped off an injured or orphaned wildlife? This is your opportunity to come and experience a rare peak behind the scenes at West Sound Wildlife Shelter.

Each year, West Sound Wildlife Shelter treats over 1700 wildlife patients, and there’s nothing like the hustle and bustle of when the babies begin to arrive in the spring. No two days are alike as we never know what patient will arrive at our door in need.

During your visit you may see a baby owl as it is examined by our staff or watch as a tiny chipmunk eats hungrily from a syringe or even an eagle as it learns to fly again in our flight cage. It is a season full of new beginnings and learning experiences.

You and three guests will join veteran Executive Director, Lisa Horn and the shelter’s Veterinarian, Dr. Alicia Bye for a private tour of the campus. You will also meet the shelter’s education ambassadors and their handlers as well as visit the hospital and learn about the inner workings of our busy wildlife rehabilitation hospital. Your time will also include lunch with our staff and volunteers, giving you the opportunity to ask questions of the team who provide the expert medical care to the wildlife patients every day.

When you depart, you and each of your guests, will get to choose a piece of West Sound Wildlife Shelter apparel or accessory item to commemorate your time with us.

This truly is a one-of-a-kind experience!

While baby season starts mid-March, the best time to visit the shelter and have a robust experience is between May and August. Arrangements must be made one month in advance on a mutually agreed upon time. Contact information will be provided in the winner’s package.

Custom Blackened Metalica Guitear (1 of 10 in the USA) and 7 Bottles Blackened Whiskey

Ever wondered what Metallica's music tastes like? Ponder no more with this new batch of whiskey developed by Blackened and Kentucky's Willett Distillery. Blackened American Whiskey – the brand launched by Metallica in 2018 – has just launched a new collaboration with Drew Kulsveen of Kentucky's Willett Distillery, in which a batch of whiskey has been “pummeled by the low-hertz frequencies of Metallica's music”.

The first release of Blackened's new Masters of Whiskey series – which will see Master Distiller Rob Dietrich team up with a selection of renowned whiskey makers – the Blackened x Willett batch has undergone the company's proprietary Black Noise sonic enhancement process, infusing it with the sound waves of 11 classic Metallica tracks. During this process, “sound waves visibly shake the finishing barrels, causing a greater interaction between the whiskey and the wood, thereby extracting more flavors and colors”.

This package includes:

  • Custom Blackened Guitar x S&M2 ESP LTD M-HT Black Metal Guitar (1 of 10) made in the USA)
  • American
  • 72 Seasons
  • Cask Strength
  • Rabbit Hole Collaboration
  • Wes Anderson
  • Willett Collaboration

 

Must be 21 years of age to purchase.
