Welcome to Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation!

To rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife, and to provide sanctuary, individualized care, and a voice for other animals in need.

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.

Because of our commitment to respect for the rights and needs of wildlife, the main WRR facilities and grounds are not open to the public.

Now in San Antonio: The Roger & Phyllis Sherman Animal Care Complex!

Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation (WRR) opened its Roger & Phyllis Sherman Animal Care Complex in San Antonio in early January 2010. The property, which was funded by the Sherman Foundation, serves as a drop-off point for injured and orphaned wildlife, a temporary rehabilitation center for certain species of orphaned mammals and birds, a small rescue and adoption site for cats, and an education center. The immediate care that will be available here is critical in saving more lives and will also relieve pressure on the sanctuary clinic in Kendalia during the busiest time of year.

Donate Now to Help Cheryl & Boca!

When Cheryl walked into Animal Control Services (ACS) in San Antonio last Friday, you could read it all over her face: she didn't want to be there. She was at a place she swore she would never be, at the pound looking at her options to try and help her beloved rescued dog, Boca.
