Eye of the Eagle Wildlife Sanctuary

Eye of the Eagle Wildlife Sanctuary opened in 1995 with only two animals, a great orned owl and a screech owl. Today, there are many more animals at the sanctuary including tigers, lions, cougars, deer, hawks, rheas and emus.  Dr. Dawn Miller, the owner and founder, says she doesn't count the number of animals she has now or the feed bills for the month.  "I think it would scare me." she says.

Dr. Miller did not start out her career as a veterinarian.  She originally worked in the corporate world and left her job when she was 42 to attend vet school.  Dr. Miller says it was something she always wanted to do. After leaving vet school, she was inspired to open her own practice and the wildlife sanctuary by "one tiny little screech owl."  That screech owl was one of the original residents of the sanctuary.
