Mission Statement
We care for all species of injured and orphaned wild animals. From a tiny orphaned cotton tail, to adult bear, we turn nothing wild away. "We all suffer the same" and every creature deserves the best of care and a chance to go home afterward!
About This Cause
Operating since 1996 in NE Oklahoma, Wild Heart Ranch has released more than 75,000 injured and orphaned wild animals back into appropriate natural habitat after care is complete, averaging 3,000 animals each year. We are permitted for all species of wildlife. We turn nothing wild away. We will work to repair a tiny cottontail orphan who was caught by a cat one day, and the next we might be saving the life of a black bear who found the wrong yard to hang out in, getting him to safety away from people, or releasing 30 raccoons we have raised into remote woods somewhere, or launching an eagle or owl into the sky after recovering from a broken wing. We do it all! We are prepared for every wild species, every possible age, and every possible condition at all times. After 75,000 animals through our doors, we are rarely caught off guard with anything. This is a phenomenal milestone for any rescue. We have a flight cage for eagles recovering for release which was a major project in 2015 and has been essential to recondition these birds for release. Wild Heart Ranch has 100 acres of land dedicated to our mission. Our facility is constantly growing to accommodate the needs of our intakes and their rehabilitation. We are on a mission to build appropriate habitat for each species as they grow toward release. At this time we can safely house up to1,000 animals at one time, and we do, every year in May and June. We work 24/7, 365 days each year. We never take a day off. Our staff of 60 volunteers are made up of regular people who just want to help, to veterinarians, technicians, surgeons, law enforcement and a dozen licensed and highly trained wildlife rehabilitators. Our standards are very high here. We excel in nutritional care as well as medical recovery. Our cleaning standards never wane, even with 1,000+ in care. No one ever goes without anything, except our crew, until the job is done. We are proud of our mission and we hope to keep growing and going WILD!
