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.

Coyotes are one of the most persecuted wildlife species in the United States.

Hundreds of thousands of coyotes are killed each year in traps and snares, targeted in wildlife killing contests, and sentenced to death in programs organized for the sake of “population control”. These intelligent, family-oriented, wild carnivores deserve an opportunity to live, no matter the public perception of them.

During Coyote Awareness week we invite you to visit to learn more about coexisting with Coyotes and other wild carnivores.

The coyote in this photo is in our care at our Sanctuary in Kendalia, TX.

Finding a baby animal on their own may leave you feeling like you don’t know what to do to help them, but they do not always need human assistance. Often, mother squirrels will return to retrieve their missing baby. Swipe to view a helpful flowchart to determine if intervention is needed.

Meet one of the largest animals in our care- Buck.

Buck arrived to us when he was two. Now, at eight years old, he shares a pasture with a close companion- a blind cow he gently guides around their enclosure. They care for one another in the ways that come naturally to them. 🌿💚

The pig in this photo arrived as a piglet after being hit by a car and suffering spinal trauma.

With treatment and time, she made an incredible recovery. She is now a permanent resident at the WRR Sanctuary and spends her days running around her enclosure and climbing in a water tub to soak. ☀️🌱

Her life is a reminder of what compassionate care can do.

The first baby squirrels of the year have arrived.

Their nest was disturbed during construction, and although reunite attempts were made, their mother did not return. Now, these tiny kits are safe in our care and receiving the specialized support they need to grow strong. 🤎

A photo of some of the first baby opossums admitted to WRR this year in need of rehabilitation and release.

As the busy wildlife “baby season” approaches, we are gearing up by preparing enclosures, supplies, and animal care staff to meet the increasing needs in the months ahead.

Meet our January Volunteer of the Month, Kimberly! 🌟
 
Kimberly is the kind of rescue volunteer who does not hesitate to help wherever is needed most. When a call comes in about an injured animal, she grabs her keys and gets on the road. Her quick action allows WRR to meet the critical window needed to save precious wild lives.
 
Her reliability and heart remind us just how much difference one volunteer can make. We are so grateful for her dedication and compassion. 🩵
 
Thank you, Kimberly, for everything you do to help animals in need!

This female Rhesus Macaque arrived at WRR in 2014 after being rescued from a university research facility. Since then, she has shaped a peaceful life alongside three other macaques and has taken on the natural role of leader within the group. 🌿

Watching her move through her enclosure, calm, observant, and always aware, reminds us how deeply these animals understand the world around them, and how fortunate we are to provide a place where her leadership and personality can unfold without pressure or expectation. 💛

Our Winter Care Drive ends today! ❄️

Although winters here in Texas are unpredictable, we must always stay prepared for the worst for the 550 animals in our sanctuary and the hundreds of animals recovering in our Rehabilitation Hospital on any given day.

Over the weekend, we experienced extreme cold weather, ice, and snow. Because of your support, animals who once knew only confinement and exposure were able to rest in warmth. Heated spaces protected bodies accustomed to tropical climates. Fresh hay and shelter insulated those living outdoors. Injured wildlife healed quietly indoors while the cold passed outside.

This is what preparation looks like.

This is what compassion makes possible.

💙 As winter continues, the animals remain here, dependent on us to anticipate their needs and protect their lives. If you are able, please consider a gift today to help carry them through the rest of the season.

The animals in our care at the Sanctuary have been cared for around the clock by diligent staff members during this winter storm.

Thanks to their efforts and your support each animal has, and will continue to, get the warmth, food, and medicine they need to survive- no matter the weather.

Wildlife Rescue is asking the public to please not use any traps during this severe storm. Animals who get caught will have no way to stay warm or find shelter and will slowly die in the traps.

Also, cottontail rabbits, squirrels and opossums babies are present in the environment, and we ask that people please leave them in their nests and do not disturb the parents or the babies.

All wild mammals, birds and reptiles are very vulnerable during this severe weather event and Wildlife Rescue is doing all it can to help any animal in trouble. But if the public will cooperate by not interacting with healthy wildlife, it will help save lives.

If you find an animal who is freezing, then call our hotline at 830-336-2725, we will tell you what to do to aid that animal.
