Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, Inc.

Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation (WRR) rescues orphaned, injured, and displaced wildlife and returns the majority to the wild. 

Each year, with your support, over 10,000 animals are brought to us for rehabilitation. Our Rescue Hotline specialists respond to more than 17,000 phone inquiries and requests for help throughout the year and are ready to take your call 365 days a year. 

We also provide permanent care in large natural enclosures to more than 550 farmed and unreleasable wildlife. Among these are native and nonnative wild animals who were victimized by the “pet” trade, held in roadside zoos or used in research facilities. These include black bears, primates, other mammals, and numerous species of birds and reptiles. In the midst of these uncertain times, the animals need your support more than ever. They know nothing of the difficulties we face; they know only that they get hungry and need enrichment and medical attention of the utmost quality. 

Your generosity allows us to provide these crucial necessities to the more than 1,200 animals receiving care at our organization at any given time. We have rescued more than 250,000 native wild animals since inception. 

Together we can make sure the animals, and the staff who care for them, have everything they need despite difficult circumstances.

Please consider contributing to WRR, and thank you for your commitment to saving wild lives.

Who We Are

Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation's (WRR) Mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife and to provide sanctuary, individualized care, and a voice for other animals in need. WRR rescues and cares for all wildlife, including native and nonnative species. We believe that all animals — rare or common, regardless of species — are deserving of our care, attention, and respect.

WRR rescues orphaned, injured, and displaced wildlife and returns the majority to the wild. We also provide permanent care in large natural enclosures to farmed and unreleasable wildlife. Among the latter are native and nonnative 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.

We have received more than 200,000 native wild animals since our inception in 1977. Annually, we rescue over 9, 200 animals brought to us for rehabilitation and respond to 11,000 phone inquiries and requests for help. Around 300 wild animals are permanent residents because they are unreleasable due either to permanent injuries or the fact that they are nonnative species with no place to go. In addition, over 300 farmed animals have found refuge at the WRR Sanctuary (212 acres) in Kendalia, TX.
