Return To The Wild Rescue Inc.
Saving Wildlife, One Life at a Time
At Return To The Wild, we are a small wildlife rescue in Northwest Florida dedicated to rehabilitating injured, sick, displaced and orphaned wildlife. Our goal is to provide compassionate care and a safe place for them to heal so they can return succesfully back to the wild.
We also work to help people of all ages appreciate and understand our native wildlife. By sharing knowledge and inspiring the community, we hope to build a future where people and nature live in harmony.
Everything we do comes out of our own pockets, including housing, enclosures, food & nutrition, enrichment items, veterinarian appointments, and medical care. We are a small nonprofit organization officially recognized as a 501(c)(3). This status helps us accept donations and support that make this important work possible. Together we can give a voice to the voiceless.
What We Do
Education & Outreach
Education and outreach allow us to connect with people, share our deep love for wildlife, and inspire our community to care about protecting our native species. By raising awareness about the challenges our wild neighbors face, we hope to cultivate a sense of responsibility and stewardship for generations to come.
Rescue Operations
Rescuing wildlife by responding to emergencies and providing immediate care to wildlife. We assess the condition of each animal, administer necessary medical care onsite, transport and work tirelessly sometimes days to catch these precious animals.
Rehabilitation
We are driven by a profound love for wildlife and an unwavering commitment to their well being. We are on the front lines, responding to calls for help from the community, whether its rescuing a coyote caught in a trap or gently tending to a fawn separated from its mother. With gentle hands and a nurturing spirit, we provide the care and comfort these animals desperately need. This work fills our hearts with deep tears when a fragile life slips away, overwhelming joy when a tiny patient turns a corner, and we are witness to pure miracles when one of these resilient babies fights back against the odds. It means long, sleepless nights of feeding and monitoring, exhausting days, and an emotional journey that tests us every single day. Through it all, we are dedicated to the hope and gratitude we witness in their eyes. We see the beauty and fragility of wildlife up close, and we're honored to give these wild souls a second chance at life.
