Settler’s Pond Animal Shelter - Beecher, Illinois

Rami K.

Settlers Pond is a wonderful sanctuary that is hosting a massive array of animals that need a place to stay - and they offer a beautifully small country experience that anyone that is open to a real farmlife experience surrounded by nature!

Goats, monkeys, porcupines, turkeys - they have so many animals on the property that are all well loved and taken care of. My favorite was the Camel. Angel is truly special and stole my heart. Spent an hour with her my entire visit because I was obsessed! Any support going to them is going towards the family and the property that cares only for the love and welfare of the animals.

This is a place that is truly special and deserve people of all lives to come by. Families, groups of friends, couples - a drive through Beecher and a stop at Settlers Pond is a must for a day to reset yourself from the craziness of life.

I love this place so much!

First time visiting this amazing place! I will be back soon! Loved the turkeys running around freely to pet. So many different animals. I’d recommend wearing shoes you can discard after or don’t care to much about, due to the droppings, which is normal for a place as such. The pumpkin patch field was beautiful for picture taking. The owners were super friendly and informative! My two year old daughter absolutely loved it!

This is such an awesome place. There are many activities for the children to do and see. The pumpkin patch is just amazing. They do wonderful work with the animals. Great value

I can write a book about this loving and amazing world for ALL the animals. However, in short phrase, the animals speak for themselves when they come running up for some lovin. This means that this is what they are shown and used to EVERYDAY. I KNOW, I work with animals on a daily basis, and this BEAUTIFUL HAVEN gives the animals all the care and loving they need and want. The animals SAY SO, just by their actions. THEY ARE ALL LOVED AND HAPPY while on this earth, until they are called to HEAVEN🙏🏼❤️. This world needs more SETTLER’S PONDS!!!

You can see the animals here and even get in with the tortoises. You're allowed to wonder at your own pace to explore. It's a small grounds, so not a lot of walking. Port a potty available for restroom. Overall, this place needs some updates and cleaning. The conditions are not amazing for the animals, but aren't awful. The bounce houses for kids are weather worn from being left our year round. They also smell of mildew. We all go in play clothes and bring sanitiser wipes. It is a decent set up for Halloween activities during October. Staff, however, is always very nice!
