Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in our organization
and in helping wildlife! At Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation,
Inc. (WRR) there are many opportunities for Volunteers to
learn about the hundreds of species of wildlife found in South
Texas while helping them recover from injuries, illnesses,
and the trauma of being orphaned.
WRR rescues over 5,000 animals per year, and
we depend on large numbers of reliable Volunteers to keep
the organization running. We cannot continue in our life-saving
work without Volunteers!
By making sure that we have enough Volunteers
scheduled to cover all tasks and shifts, we know the animals
will have the care they need and deserve. Our facility is
in operation 7 days a week, with a variety of shifts to choose
from, depending on the Volunteer position.
If you volunteer as a Wildlife
Caretaker in the Rehabilitation Clinic & Nursery, duties consist
of feeding baby animals, cleaning cages, setting up habitats,
doing laundry, washing dishes, and preparing food. During
the spring and summer months there are hundreds of hungry
mouths to feed every day.
Wildlife Rescuers
and Wildlife Transporters play
a vital role in the rehabilitation process. If we can't get
the animal, we can't treat the animal. Rescuers and Transporters
respond to calls from WRR regarding an animal in need and
then head out to assess the situation or retrieve the injured
animal.
There are also opportunities to transport
donations, help at fund-raising
events, do landscaping and construction
projects, and assist in the office.
With so many diverse opportunities, you can
find the right job for you!
All of the Volunteer positions are important.
We require a serious commitment in all the jobs to make sure
that these animals survive. The work is hard, but rewarding.
The experience is one most people will never have and one
that our Volunteers will never forget!
