The native mammals who are rescued by Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation make up the largest number of animals seen and cared for by this organization. Every year we are called on to save infant, adolescent, and adult injured and infirm skunks, raccoons, squirrels, foxes, deer, bobcats, coyotes, opossums, armadillos, bats, and others. It is always difficult to witness the suffering that these animals must face in a human-dominated world but, for these at least, we can offer a future that will be spent in their natural environment. The reason for this is that most of these animals come to us in need of only temporary assistance. The young members of the wildlife community are most often in need of food, medical care, and a few weeks or months of rehabilitation before being set free. Your sponsorship provides food, bedding, medication, veterinary care, supplies, and plenty of attention from our Animal Caretakers.

All the native wildlife who are rescued and rehabilitated at WRR are set free as soon as they are healthy and no longer need our care. We have over a dozen protected release sites in the state of Texas; all are on privately owned land where there is a year-round water supply and where the habitat is known to support the species being released there. We rotate among release sites so that no one site is used for an inappropriate number of animals. Supplemental food is placed at the site when necessary to make the transition back to the wild an easy one. We firmly believe that wild animals have an innate ability to call on their genetic history of diverse knowledge and survival skills, and that once they are given the advantage of good nutrition and the company of their own species, they welcome the opportunity to reclaim their life of freedom in the natural world they are so well-suited to inhabit.
