Welcome!

Wildlife Rescue, Inc. (formerly Wild Bird Rescue, Inc.) was founded in 1994 as an organization committed to the rehabilitative care of wild birds. We’ve expanded over the years to include the growing needs of all animals and reptiles. Our new name better reflects our commitment to all wildlife. Our mission also includes educating the community about how to co-exist with wildlife.

What we do:

▪ Assist private citizens and organizations with wildlife emergencies.

▪ Provide medical care to many animals annually.

▪ Host a winter holiday party for urban children at Carrie Murray Nature Center. These children may not normally experience wildlife up close.

▪ Educate the public to respect wildlife and understand the factors that affect their behavior and survival.

▪ Work with state and federal agencies and other private organizations to reduce or eliminate manmade hazards to wildlife. We receive no funding from these organizations. Just a few of the agencies we work with:

- Police Departments-we are on "911" & "311" call lists. (Officers rely on us to assist with animal matters)

- Animal Welfare Organizations

- Department of Natural Resources

- Animal Control Facilities

- The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

- The National Aquarium in Baltimore

We receive no funding from these organizations

Quality of Care and Operating Efficiency

Wildlife Rescue, Inc. has received the award known as the "Best in America" Seal. This award is extended to only 5% of the charities that participate in the Combined Federal Campaigns. We take pride in receiving this award, which is not only a reflection of the quality of care we provide but also recognition of the efficiency of our administrative and fundraising activities. This efficiency is demonstrated by the fact that more than 86 cents of every dollar donated is used directly for the animals under our care.
