Black-tailed prairie dog
Animals in our sanctuary
Navajo

Navajo comes from a zoo in Germany. This zoo participates in international breeding programmes. Because of the breeding programme, he and six other black-tailed prairie dogs had to leave, as there was not enough space to keep them.
The fate of these animals is often uncertain: will they find a home where they are wanted or will they be euthanised as a 'problem'? Fortunately Navajo found a new home in De Zonnegloed.
