Exotic Animal Memorial Foundation and the The Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in the United States. The organization's stated purpose is to provide care and shelter for exotic animals. It was founded in 1997 by the Schreibvogel Family of Springer, Oklahoma in memory of their late son Garold Schreibvogel (G.W.) who died in an automobile accident by a drunk driver. The current president is Joe Schreibvogel. The foundation is supported by donations and visitors to the park as well as tours to malls and other businesses where the public can pose with a tiger cub for a fee. The foundation maintains its commitment to the breeding, rescue, care of endangered and exotic species of animals.
