(325)

Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation’s (WRR) mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife and to provide sanctuary, individualized care, and a voice for other animals in need. Approximately 10,000 orphaned, injured, and displaced wildlife pass through our doors each year, most of whom are rehabilitated and released back into their native habitat. WRR also provides permanent individu

alized care in large natural enclosures or pastures to animals whom you would commonly find on farms and those who are unreleasable. Among the latter are indigenous wildlife, non-native animals victimized by the “pet” trade and roadside zoos, and retirees from research facilities. Additionally, WRR serves as a wildlife educational advocate in Texas and receives over 11,000 calls each year on our emergency wildlife hotline which is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Wildlife Rescue serves the cities of San Antonio and Austin, all of the surrounding counties, and much of the rest of the state.

There is still time to make a difference in our Annual Enrichment Drive!

Every gift received will go directly to supplying the enrichment that is essential for all animals' wellbeing!

Many of the animals now at WRR come from unimaginable circumstances. It is imperative that we provide care far beyond what is considered basic necessity. Every animal contains a rich and complex inner life of their own and inherently requires an engaging environment that honors that reality.

Your support contributes to the tiny orphaned squirrels seeking comfort in a hammock and the giant black bears whose curiosity has never faded. Your generosity provides stimulating puzzles for clever parrots and interactive challenges for rescued spider monkeys.

If you haven't already, can you donate $30 to help us provide more opportunities to keep animals active, engaged, and stimulated throughout the entire year?

Every animal needs and deserves more than food, water, and shelter.

Before arriving at WRR, for example, a black bear spent 17 years of his life living in a concrete cage at a roadside zoo. Day after day, his world remained the same, with no opportunity to satisfy his curiosity, his need to roam around and stretch out, to see a changing environment, to live a less impoverished existence. Today, he spends his days at WRR in a large enclosure amongst the trees and sunshine. Because boredom is ever present in the lives of all captive wild animals, we continuously strive to present novel experiences to create the stimulating environment they crave.

This is true for every animal in our care. Enrichment provides animals with opportunities to explore, problem-solve, make choices, and engage with the world around them.

Please help us reach our goal of $15,000 and donate towards our Enrichment Drive today!

While we are still taking in dozens of animals a day for rehabilitation, all of the animals in our care at the WRR Sanctuary are still going about their daily lives.

In this video, one of the black bears in our care goes for a quiet morning dip in one of his pools.

We are ready to restart our Annual Enrichment Drive!

In July, we made the decision to pause our Enrichment Drive to focus our attention, resources, and donations on the influx of animals that required help due to severe weather. Adapting to animal needs is critical when it comes to helping wildlife, and we are grateful for the show of support during that time. Although the storms created an urgent need, animal well-being and enrichment are priorities year-round!

Whether an animal stays with us for a few weeks or a lifetime, every individual requires a dynamic and engaging environment that honors their deep emotional and intellectual capacity.

Help us reach our goal of $15,000 to purchase new items that will provide brand new experiences for every animal using the link in our bio.

Your support ensures that the animals at WRR continue to have opportunities to explore and engage with a dynamic and interesting world all year.

Across the country, protections for endangered species and their habitats are being reconsidered, challenged, and, in some cases, rolled back.

For many people, these discussions may feel distant, taking place in government agencies, courtrooms, and policy documents.

For wildlife, however, these decisions have very real consequences.


Protected habitats are more than lines on a map; they are nesting grounds, migration corridors, den sites, and places where animals find food, shelter, and raise their young.

At Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, we witness firsthand what can happen when wildlife loses safe places to live.

Displacement, orphaned young, increased human-wildlife conflict, and mounting pressures on already vulnerable species are realities we encounter every day.

Over the coming weeks, we will explore why these protections matter and what may be at stake for wildlife, because policy decisions ultimately become reality for millions of wild animals.

🌪️ WEATHER ADVISORY 🌪️
The recent tornadoes and severe storms have affected more than our communities. Wildlife across the area may now be displaced, injured, or separated from their young as trees, nests, dens and natural shelter have been damaged.
In the coming days, please remain alert for wildlife in all locations, including roadways, yards, garages, and debris piles. Before beginning cleanup efforts, check carefully for animals seeking shelter or nests toppled by the storms, and infant wildlife whose dens have been flooded leaving them displaced by the heavy rains.
If you encounter wildlife that appears injured or in distress, please contact a licensed Wildlife Rescue, we are here to help.
The first storms may have passed for us, but recovery is only beginning for many wild animals.

Enrichment is more than toys and treats. It is an essential part of caring for wildlife in rehabilitation and for the permanent sanctuary residents who will spend the rest of their lives in our care. Enrichment encourages natural behaviors, provides mental stimulation, and helps animals remain active and engaged.

Join WRR Lead Sanctuary Caretaker, Loren, as she prepares enrichment items that bring curiosity, comfort, and excitement to the animals in our care.

Each item created provides new opportunities for animals to explore, forage, problem solve, and engage in behaviors that are important to their overall well-being.

Thank you for helping us provide the specialized care these animals deserve.

For decades, one of the rhesus macaques in our care lived in a laboratory, spending his life in a metal cage and forced to go through repeated procedures against his will.

While we cannot change his past, we can help shape what comes next.

Today, his days include climbing structures, puzzle feeders, foraging opportunities, and other forms of enrichment that encourage natural behaviors and provide the mental and physical stimulation every wild animal deserves.

This is what your support makes possible.

As our Annual Enrichment Drive begins, every donation helps provide enrichment for wildlife recovering for release, as well as the more than 550 permanent residents who will spend the rest of their lives in Sanctuary.

Help us create environments that encourage curiosity, activity, and well-being for every animal entrusted to us.

Donate today through the link in our bio.

Something exciting begins next week.

Our Annual Enrichment Drive returns July 14th through July 20th.

Every day, the animals in our care benefit from enrichment that encourages natural foraging behaviors, mental stimulation, and supports their overall well-being. Over the coming week, we will share more on how enrichment makes a meaningful difference for the animals who depend on it, and how you can help provide these important opportunities.

Join us Tuesday as we kick off this year’s drive.
