Mission Statement
To rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife and to provide sanctuary, individualized care, and a voice for other animals in need.
About This Cause
Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation receives orphaned, injured, and displaced wildlife and returns as many as possible to the wild. We also provide permanent care in large natural enclosures to farmed animals and non-releasable wildlife. Among the latter are native and non-native wild animals who were victimized by the “pet” trade, held in roadside zoos, or used in research. These include black bears, primates, mountain lions, other mammals, and numerous species of birds and reptiles. WRR provides advice and assistance for dealing with human-wildlife conflicts in a non-lethal manner. Wildlife Rescue staff work to educate the public about appropriate and respectful relations with Nature and wildlife. Whether through training, education, advocacy, or direct animal care, WRR fulfills its commitment to wildlife protection and ethical relations between humans and the natural world. Because of our commitment to respect the rights and needs of wildlife, the main WRR facilities and grounds are not open to the public except to receive animals in need. We have received over 200,000 native wild animals since inception. Annually, we rescue over 10,000 animals and respond to more than 17,000 phone inquiries and requests for help. Around 500-600 animals are permanent residents because they are non-releasable due to the nature of their injuries, human desensitization, or the fact that they are non-native species. Part of the permanent residents includes over 250 farmed and domesticated animals who have found refuge at the WRR Sanctuary. Around fifty full-time staff along with interns, apprentices, and numerous volunteers carry out our programs every day. We are accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS).
