(318)

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.

WRR relies on the support of volunteers to help us rehabilitate animals in our hospital, prepare food for animals in our care, and lend a helping hand with different tasks around the facility. We are also always looking for those who would be willing to volunteer their time by picking up animals in need and bringing them to WRR in Kendalia. If you are interested in helping wildlife and animals that need ongoing care, visit the our website to learn more.

As of April, 3, 2026, here is a snapshot of our work this year:

Total animals rescued: 901
Every intake begins with a call for help. This number reflects each animal that has come through our doors this year.

Animals currently in our care: 566
These animals are receiving food, treatment, and rehabilitation from our trained veterinarians, animal caretakers, and dedicated volunteers. Each of them are on their own journey back to the wild.

Every number represents an animal rescued and illustrates the work done at WRR thanks to your continued support.

Every year tens of thousands of horses are shipped to slaughter plants to be butchered for human consumption. The Saving America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act will permanently ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption and will prohibit their transport by a predatory industry that is taking advantage of these incredible animals. We stand in support of these Forgotten Equines and will work to end the abuse of American horses.

Follow the link for more information about the SAFE Act and to learn about how you can help.

It is understanding to want to aid a lone baby animal, but, sometimes, it can cause more harm than good. Mother raccoons will often return to where their babies were left; however, if humans step in before they can be reunited, it can be a detriment to the survival of the baby. A baby animal’s best chance for survival is with their mother. Swipe to view a flow chart to help determine if intervention is necessary.

This porcupine came to WRR in October of 2024 suffering from a severe skin infection. He was treated with anti-fungal and antibiotics to treat the disease, as well as an anti-inflammatory to ease his discomfort. This, along with gentle baths with medicated shampoo, worked to cure the infection, and he was released back into the wild after 5 months of care. We are grateful for the dedication of our hardworking veterinary and rehabilitation staff for giving this porcupine the care he needed so that he could resume a healthy life in the wild.

While it is a myth that touching a baby duck will cause the parents to reject them, that does not mean that a lost duckling needs human assistance. Often, the parents will call for their missing baby, and the family will be reunited. If you are unsure what to do next, check out the flow chart on the next slide with helpful information before mistakenly taking a baby from the wild.

Today is the last day of our Baby Season Formula Drive, and we are still trying to reach our goal of $30,000. Every year we care for thousands of lost and orphaned babies during this season, and formula quickly becomes one of our major expenses. We depend on donations of any amount during this critical time.

Did you know that nearly two billion migrating birds pass through Texas each year? Because the majority of them migrate at night, light pollution can cause these travelers to become disoriented and often leads to them striking illuminated buildings. Unfortunately, millions of birds die every year of this fate.

Lights Out, Texas! aims to raise awareness of these staggering numbers and works to promote the safety of migrating birds. By simply turning off or reducing nighttime lights, birds will be able to navigate the skies more safely. Check out the following slides for more information or visit for more resources.

A mild winter always means early babies. This year we expect thousands of animals to arrive in need of our care. Songbirds and squirrels that have been blown from their nests, opossums and fawns whose mothers have been struck by cars, and so many more. Help us reach our goal of $30,000 to provide the formula needed to feed these lost or orphaned babies.
