I took in a pigeon that didn't want to or couldn't fly. I called firsthand and someone reached out to me within hours. I drove to the place and they took in the bird. The place is clean and very nice people, loving , compassionate, and really want to help . I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Questions & Answers

Do you rehab. Birds and adopt or sell once rehabilitated?If not do you know of one in or near San Antonio? Thank you .

Patti Retzloff | Nov 1, 2018
Jason Anderson | Nov 1, 2019

WRR help birds but it releases all of it's animals into the wild once they are fully rehabilitated. I would reach out to San Antonio Animals Alive for pet adoption

I found 6 baby oppossums. Will you receive these baby oppossums.

Gaston De Los Santos | Nov 1, 2019
Anita Aguilar Villarreal | Nov 1, 2019

They will take them, just call them. I found a baby opossum in our yard about a month ago&I took it to them.

Do u rescue deer? Its injured but walking and eating & drinking water

Yvette Burleson | Nov 1, 2019
Elizabeth Williams | Nov 1, 2019

Have you called them? They can probably help with the deer..

Is it ilegal to do harm to birds and nests here in south Texas? I’m from the UK and it could mean jail. I witnessed this morning and disheartened. I called and left a message regarding it and have footage of the garden company involved. Thanks.

Annie | Nov 1, 2019
Randy Roads | Nov 1, 2019

More then likely no one will do anything about it though I know it would bother me too but getting someone to do something is almost impossible ,I couldn't even get the city or any of the agency's to take in 5 dogs someone dumped an u would think they would want to help them all they were worried about is if you can pay the 150 per animal to pick them up even though your not the owner ,people dump them because if they leave them outside the humane society animal shelter they will put charges against u so it's a screwed up system.but these people here are awsome I've taken them animals that are hurt but they only take in wildlife so if there's a hurt bird you can take it to them,they are not the city services this is a volunteer based wildlife rescue ...but your not likely gonna get anyone to do anything ...it's sad but true..hope this gives you a little more info .and these people don't do anything but rehab hurt animals taken to them you would need to call your game warden to make rep

Madeline May | Nov 1, 2019

I found baby kittens on the side of the road Can I take them here?

Lauren Acuna | Nov 1, 2018
Leenie de leon | Nov 1, 2018

Sometimes they take feral cats in so I would call and ask if they would take them. Most shelters will not help you unless you pay a "owner surrender" or if it is a certain day. Your best bet is to call ACS and ask them to come pick them up.

Best thing to do is to call them and leave them a voicemail or email them on the website

Chimpanzee Attack | Oct 31, 2021
Cyndi-Marc Levesque | Oct 31, 2021

No, because of Covid and to try to keep interactions with the wild animals to a minimum.

I have a budgie baby parakeet that needs to be seen he has a bump on his wings where can I go to take him to BC that doesn't charge that much I'm on a budget

Margie Reyes | Oct 31, 2021
Debra Briseno | Oct 31, 2021

You can call them and ask, but I don't think they see pets. Wouldn't hurt to try. They may be able to refer you if they don't do it

I would like to donate a 40 gallon reptile tank I no longer use. Do you all accept aquariums and possibly heating lamps and rock.

Andres Leza | Nov 1, 2019
Gina H | Nov 1, 2019

It's best to call them directly to ask

Do they charge if a vet looks at the animal? Or will we only have to do a donation ?

kassandra marie | Nov 1, 2019
Robert Acosta | Nov 1, 2019

There is no charge but you usually just leave the animal with them. They release the animal.

Do you catch skunks and remove them. We have seen a cute one but we are concerned for our dog. If you dont, can you refer me to someone who provides free service. I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Anna | Nov 1, 2019
Victoria Castellanos | Nov 1, 2019

call their main office and they can connect you with a rescue or contact. I worry some may capture and kill, so just check that if you choose to hire.

Where is a safe place to release ducks?

Joe Wurzler | Nov 1, 2019
Craig Spearman | Nov 1, 2019

Adults can be safely released anywhere there are already ducks especially if there are geese there also. Geese act as watchdogs for ducks. Ducklings probably need to go to a wildlife sanctuary

Deb and ceb Trevino | Nov 1, 2019
JennaLynn Hunnicutt | Nov 1, 2019

They highly encourage you to take domestic animals to Humane Society or other shelters but will take some as a last resort. These people really care. So impressed. (According to information given while on a school tour.)

Do y’all accept volunteer work?

Belle Rios | Nov 1, 2019
Gina H | Nov 1, 2019

You'll have to check their website or call them directly. I don't think they reply to these questions posted on Google

Saw two baby vultures under a table at a business today. Does your organization aid birds like this? I have images.

Michelle De La Garza | Nov 1, 2019
Debby A | Nov 1, 2019

When we brought in our orphaned squirrel babies, they told us that they would only take them if they were orphaned and if we knew for a fact that there was no mother to care for them. They try to keep the babies with their parents if possible.

I agree with Gina. They may perhaps tell you to help her across the street but leave her in her own environment, unless she's injured.

Joanna Phelan | Nov 1, 2018

If you put grass back over the nest and they are not injured the mother will most likely come back and get them after dark.

Stacie Perry | Nov 1, 2018

I have way too many squirrels around my home. They have chewed through my arbor lights and just have made a mess in my yard. Do you a ch them and release by any chance?

Angel Heart | Nov 1, 2018
Mirra Borchardt | Nov 1, 2019

I think there are products you can purchase to spread on things you don’t want chewed. It tastes bad and deters them chewing. Also, be sure not to provide incentives such as bird feeders.

How do I know if my squirrel is sick?

Rose A. Stanford | Aug 2, 2022

He's just been looking down like he doesn't feel good and not eating as much. He started to perk up and was playing and eating, but he is acting like he's not well.

Rap it up in a plastic bag and put it in your garbage can.

I found what a believe to be a baby Raven beside the road next to it's dead mother. Been keeping it for 2 days, giving it food and water. Would you be able to take it in? I don't have a big enough cage for it and I doubt it would survive in the wild

David Mcmichael | Oct 31, 2021
Vanessa Vidal | Oct 31, 2021

You can go drop it off at their Basse Rd location tomorrow morning. I believe they start receiving at 8:30am.

A baby bird fell on my head last night as I was walking home. I would like for it to get the proper care it needs. I'm doing all that I can to keep it warm and fed, I do not have car. Who can I call to pick it up?

Christianne Uhr-Mitchell | Oct 31, 2021
Vanessa Vidal | Oct 31, 2021

They are very responsive, so they should be able to help you coordinate getting the baby bird over to them. Just give them a call or email with all your contact info.

Wendy Hercules | Oct 31, 2020

Pets are a lifetime responsibility ... Turtles even longer! Sylvester Stallone still has the baby 🐢 turtles from the Rocky movies ... Understands they might out live him!! Wildlife rescue and Rehabilitation is not a place to surrender a pet. 😪 Join a Facebook group for 🐢 turtle lovers and see if you can find it a suitable home. DO NOT dump it somewhere .... It's not from here and will mostly likely die a terrible and cruel death. 😪

Do you guys pay volunteers or no because there just volunteering

Curtis Cantwell | Nov 1, 2019
Kelly Alston | Nov 1, 2019

They will as long as it's on a fetching! Which means is super naked and nowhere ready to fly basically. This time of year baby birds are being kicked out of the nests by their parents, and while they still look young they are most likely going to survive on their own. We found one that was a fetching they wouldn't take and then about a year later they took a teeny tiny one we found because it was too young. Good luck!
