About This Cause
About the Center: URGENT! If you have found injured or orphaned wildlife in South Florida, call 954-524-4302 South Florida Wildlife Center admits more than 12,000 injured, diseased, orphaned, or imperiled animals annually, making us one of the highest volume wildlife hospitals, trauma centers, and rehabilitation facilities in the nation. We provide field rescue, clinic triage, state-of-the-art diagnostics, expert veterinary treatment, and surgery, as well as pediatric and rehabilitative care to our wildlife patients. South Florida Wildlife Center employs 30 staff members, including one licensed veterinarian, wildlife rehabilitators, veterinary technicians, and many other animal care specialists. We also have more than 200 active volunteers. Our state-of-the-art wildlife nursery admits up to 120 orphaned, abandoned, or displaced baby animals a day during baby season. Once the animals are admitted, our trained rehabilitators and veterinary technicians hand-feed and treat them around the clock. This is no small task, given the huge numbers of wild animals displaced as a direct result of unprecedented land development in South Florida. The South Florida Wildlife Center receives approximately 150 phone calls reporting injured wildlife and requesting information about animals and the environment each day. Trained staff informs the public about environmental concerns, wildlife problems, and ways in which people and wildlife can peacefully coexist. The Center regularly participates in public events with displays, exhibits, and literature.
