Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition, Inc. is a private 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization operated by volunteer and part-time staff consisting of permitted rehabilitators, students, seniors, professionals, and animal lovers focusing on conservation, public education, and wildlife rehabilitation.
Our Center serves as an emergency room for native Texas wildlife brought to us by the public. TWRC, as we are known, was Houston's first urban wildlife emergency and rehabilitative care facility.
For help with injured, orphaned, or ill wildlife, please go to our section on Rescuing Wildlife.
Our Hours Of Operation (as of Sept 1st)
Monday through Sunday
We have had over 65,000 injured, orphaned, or ill wildlife pass through the hands of our caring volunteers. We are proud to be able to provide this second chance for the wildlife in our neighborhoods.
1. A centrally located emergency facility for rescuers to bring injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife
2. A staffed facility to handle telephone inquiries regarding wildlife related issues
3. Initial examination of wildlife by trained, experienced staff to assess status and provide treatment in our on-site vet room
4. A veterinarian who oversees the training of vet room staff and provides support to TWRC rehabilitators
5. Coordinated placement of wildlife with appropriately skilled and permitted rehabilitators, who care for wildlife until it is released back into its native habitat.
The operations of our Center and rehabilitation of wildlife are supported primarily through the work of a handful of dedicated volunteers from within the community. These volunteers are specially trained and perform an essential role adding their time, effort, and financial support of the wildlife. Without their participation TWRC wouldn't exist.
The continued growth in the demand for our service also requires "your" financial support to carry on our mission. TWRC is a private nonprofit organization funded without support from any governmental agency. Please be generous in your giving for wildlife.
