Welcome to Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation!
Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation
(WRR) rescues, rehabilitates,
and releases orphaned, injured, and displaced wildlife
and provides sanctuary with dignity for non-releasable animals,
both native and non-native.
WRR was founded in 1977 in San Antonio, Texas.
Since Spring 2004, WRR has been located at a new 187-acre
facility near Kendalia, Texas. WRR serves the cities of San
Antonio, Austin, and all surrounding counties, as well as
the entire state of Texas. WRR also provides assistance on
a national basis to wild animals in need of rescue.
WRR provides a permanent home for a variety
of mammals (e.g., wolves, bears, big cats, and primates) and
non-indigenous birds and reptiles. Each year over 5,000 animals
are brought to WRR, mostly from surrounding areas, but many
from around the country; the majority of these were rehabilitated
and released or given permanent
sanctuary.
WRR maintains a 24-hour
Emergency Hotline and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year. It is supported by a membership
of over 11,000 individuals and is assisted by 150 Volunteers.
The organization has a Staff
of 20 and anywhere from 8 to 15 Animal
Care Interns who come from the U.S. and abroad to work
at the Sanctuary and gain experience and training in wildlife
rehabilitation and animal care.
In addition, WRR provides advice
and assistance in dealing with human-wildlife
encounters in a non-lethal manner. Whether through training,
education, advocacy, or direct animal care, WRR fulfills its
commitment to wildlife protection and ethical,
sustainable relations between humans and the natural world.
