Wildlife Response, Inc. is a distinctive 501c3 volunteer organization devoted solely to the care of orphaned, injured, and displaced native wildlife. We are dedicated to increasing awareness of wildlife rehabilitation to the public. Our organization depends primarily upon the private donations for its programs and services.
The Wildlife Response and Rehabilitation Center will be a centrally located facility where citizens, animal control officers and other agencies can drop off wildlife. In addition, the Center will provide a redistribution center for animals to be triaged, and then sent to permitted-based wildlife rehabilitators for care. The Center is expected to open in 2025.
Donate for the General Fund
By donating to our general fund you help to:
Donate to the building of our Wildlife Center
Help us to raise $750,000 to start building a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Hampton Roads.
There is a definite need for a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in this area. Since construction of houses, shopping centers, etc has met the destruction of the natural habitats that our wild neighbors once inhabited, we have a moral obligation to make things right for them. Each year, the number of wild animals that need help increases. Each year, the community relies on the help from a handful of licensed wildlife rehabilitators who do their work with no financial assistance derived from any local, state, or federal government. Most of the wild animals rescued and brought to Wildlife Response rehabilitators were attacked by family pets, struck by vehicles, poisoned intentionally and unintentionally, and still others were made orphans when their mothers were trapped and relocated or killed.
Please help, however small to fund the construction of this native Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
Donate to the Pelican Fund
Approximately 50 pelicans came into rehab the winter each year. These pelicans are underweight, suffered from frostbite or had other injuries. Healthy pelicans typically weigh between 6 and 10 pounds. Many of the pelicans are just 3 or 4 pounds when they are brought into our care. We provide them with warmth, antibiotics, and food. We release the pelicans in the spring after the last chance of frost.
Threee dozen pelicans require roughly 125 pounds of fish a day. Would you donate to the pelican fund? All donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
