Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of MN

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center provides expert medical and rehabilitation care to injured, sick, and orphaned wild animals every single day of the year. 

We value providing our services free of charge to those who bring wildlife in need to our clinic, but that doesn't mean that there is no cost of care. 

We admitted more than 18,500 animals in 2023, and we need your help.

WRC is one of the oldest wildlife hospitals in the nation, and we have the expertise to provide wildlife with world-class medical care. But at our core, we are a community-powered organization:

We do not go out and rescue animals - you are the ambulance drivers who bring them to us.

We do not have enough staff to care for our patients - it takes a team of 500+ volunteers and 75 interns to run our hospital.

We receive no state or federal financial support - you fund our work.
