Tucson Wildlife Center

Established in 1998 by Lisa Bates and Peter Lininger, Tucson Wildlife Center takes in over 3,000 injured, ill, or orphaned wild animals annually, at an average operating cost of $1,500 per day. TWC is the only non-profit rehabilitation center left in Southern Arizona that can handle the volume and diversity of wildlife in immediate need of rescue. In addition, TWC operates the only full-service, state-of-the-art wildlife rescue hospital in Southern Arizona, all free of charge. Tucson Wildlife Center staff and volunteers rescue and care for wildlife 24/7, 365 days a year. They serve eight counties: Pima, Pinal, Gila, Graham, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Greenlee and Yuma.
