What We Do:
TWRC Wildlife Center is a private 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization operated by a highly efficient, dedicated volunteer and part-time staff consisting of permitted rehabilitators, students, seniors, professionals, and animal lovers focusing on conservation, public education, and wildlife rehabilitation. TWRC was Houston's first urban wildlife emergency and rehabilitative care center.
TWRC Wildlife Center Provides:
- a centrally located emergency Center for rescuers to bring injured, ill or orphaned wildlife
- a staffed Center to handle telephone inquires regarding wildlife related issues
- initial examination of wildlife by trained, experienced staff to assess status and provide treatment
- coordinated placement of wildlife with appropriately skilled an permitted rehabilitators, who care for wildlife until released back in their native habitat
- in-house and outreach educational programs which inspire curiosity about wildlife, focus on what benefits wildlife provide in this urban eco-system, and provide information on living in harmony with urban wildlife.
Our Mission:
TWRC's mission is to promote environmental conservation through public education and rehabilitation of native Texas wildlife.
At TWRC, we truly believe in helping one animal at a time. We have given tens of thousands of wild animals a second chance at life "one animal at a time".
