Volunteer at WildCare and help take care of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals.

Our patients include owls, hawks, pelicans, opossums, bobcats, foxes, raccoons, robins, sparrows and more! Our wildlife rehabilitation hospital is 95% volunteer driven, and the animals depend on the volunteers for most of their food, caging and medical needs. Spring is our busiest time with injured and orphaned babies coming in daily.

Volunteers are provided with all the training needed to work in the hospital and care for our wild animal patients.
