The Work We Do!

wildlife (1)

We accept all native Florida species except marine mammals and sea turtles because we do not have facilities for their specific needs.

We have held wildlife rehabilitation permits through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission as well as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service since 1989. The permits allow us to accept injured and orphaned native species for care, rehabilitate them, and release them back into the wild.

While the majority of our wildlife patients are cared for at our facility, we are fortunate to have qualified volunteer caregivers who provide care for animals in their homes.

Volunteer transporters, who are on-call to obtain animals from the public or reported by the public, and then transport the wildlife to our facility, Due to the high volume of calls that we receive, in most instances, we rely on the caller to transport the animals to us if they are willing to do so.

During any given year, we average admitting 1,000 animals for care. In order to provide proper medical treatment, we rely on local veterinary hospitals which have offered their assistance to us.
Our wildlife patients receive examinations, radiographs, blood work, and surgeries as needed.
