Since 1983, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary has been rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing Florida’s native wildlife. Their work—blending veterinary care with environmental education—protects animals and teaches our community how to coexist with nature.
This charm is part of a special hand-carved series featuring the owl, opossum, panther, snake, and Stu the duck.
20% of each sale goes directly to support Busch’s mission of wildlife rescue and education.
The Sanctuary Series is a tribute to the creatures who walk, fly, and crawl beside us — the land-dwelling guardians of balance who need our protection. From lions of courage to Florida’s rare panthers, from elephants of wisdom to owls, snakes, and even the humble opossum, each piece honors the wild spirit of animals that inspire awe and resilience.
These carvings are more than adornments — they are reminders of our shared responsibility. 20% of the purchase price from every Sanctuary Series creation gives back to organizations dedicated to protecting wildlife and preserving the fragile habitats that sustain them. Wear them as talismans of respect, guardianship, and kinship with all that is wild.
