(316)

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 individualized 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.

These three ring-tailed lemurs arrived at WRR under different circumstances. On the left is the elder female, who came in 2018 at 15 years old. In the center is a male found wandering a park in 2024, likely a victim of the pet trade. On the right is a larger female who arrived in 2021 with an injury that still requires daily attention; she holds a central leadership role in the group.

Together, along with a fourth male not pictured, they now have a stable home where they can move freely, make their own choices, and interact naturally. Each has a past that didn’t meet their needs, but here they have the space, safety, and companionship to live more true to their nature.

Watching a red-eared slider slip back into the water was such a joyful sight!

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do: giving every animal the chance to heal, grow strong, and return to the life they were meant to live.

This Guianan Capuchin arrived at WRR in 2015 after time in the “pet” trade. She now lives with four other capuchins, choosing her moments of connection carefully and spending her days stretched comfortably across the platforms that give her a sense of safety. 🌱⁠
⁠
At night, she consistently seeks out the capuchin she trusts and settles in beside him. Her routines show how important space, companionship, and choice are for primates who were never meant to live in human-controlled environments. ⁠💚

GivingTuesday is Here 🌎❤️

Give today to help wild animals recover and heal, even after unimaginable suffering or loss. 

This year alone, our Kendalia sanctuary has become home to nine baby primates who lost the only world they’d known. These individuals were poached from the wild as infants and smuggled into the U.S. to be sold in the pet trade, destined to spend decades in captivity.

Poachers kidnap baby monkeys in the wild, often killing their mothers in trees in order to rip the babies from their backs. Reports show that the infants are often bound, sedated, and crammed into tiny compartments to smuggle them across the border.

Infants who are confiscated at the border cannot be returned to the wild without their mothers. That’s where WRR steps in to help. With time, patience, and dedicated veterinary care, WRR helps these individuals heal. We then carefully introduce them to life in sanctuary, in community with others. 

Your support makes their healing possible. Together, we can ensure that these animals – and so many others – have safety, sanctuary, and a second chance, now and long into the future. Will you make a special gift today to support our vital work? Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact and saves wild animals in need.

This Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect on the countless ways our members make the work of Wildlife Rescue possible. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply sharing our mission, helps provide care, safety, and dignity to the animals who rely on us every day. Every moment of care is made possible by your compassion and commitment to this important work.

Thank you for choosing to stand with the animals, for believing that every life matters, and for helping us create a world where kindness extends to all beings, big and small.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with peace, joy, and the warmth of knowing that you choose to make a difference. 🍂 🤎🍁

Whether here for care or simply moving quietly across WRR land, foxes like her remind us that the sanctuary belongs not to us, but to all who step foot upon it. 🌳

Each glimpse is a privilege, a brief encounter with a life that remains firmly her own. ✨
