Northwoods Wildlife Rescue Inc

Northwoods Wildlife Rescue, Inc was created after learning how few wildlife rehabilitators are available in MN. We are both state and federally licensed as a rehab facility. Our first year (2017) we had less than 50 calls. We receive sick. injured or orphaned wildlife from all over the state of MN. This year we are already over 1700 calls for help. NWR is a 501(c)3. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and release wild animals back into the wild where they belong. 

We accomplish our mission through collaboration of the community, the DNR, and other rehabilitation centers.  We have no paid staff.  Everyone, including the director, are unpaid volunteers that help these wonderful creatures. All money raised through our fundraisers and cash donations are used  for the rescue, transportation, medical costs, medication, formula and food and housing of the wildlife entrusted to our care. We try to have two fundraisers a year. In late Winter (hopefully before the Spring babies start arriving) we do a "garage sale". And then in late Summer we have a dinner / Silent Auction. 

We receive no government funding and rely on monetary donations and donations of time and products needed to facilitate rehabilitation
