We give mother nature a helping hand by raising and rehabilitating orphaned and injured wildlife so they may be released back to the wild. Our 27-acre site includes a state-of-the-art animal care facility as well as sophisticated enclosures, allowing us to care for-and successfully release-more injured and orphaned animals.
The Lake Tahoe region is known as being one of the most beautiful places on earth, known for its stunning natural splendor. It's no surprise that so many people chose to live and visit here! Wildlife are a fundamental part of our region's environment, and knowing that we are sharing the area with so many beautiful animals is part of what makes this area so special for many of us.

Staff & Board
Report
After joining LTWC in 1995, Denise became one of our most hands-on volunteers involved with the daily care of wild birds and animals at LTWC. She served on the LTWC board for six years and as its president for two terms before being hired as Animal Care Director in 2014. She is slated to become the first resident in the new caretakers' house at LTWC's new property.
Our Facility
Report
For nearly 20 years, LTWC looked for a larger, more isolated site. Previously, LTWC operated out of our founder's home and backyard, and while the-once-quiet neighborhood grew up quickly around us, our animal care needs also grew and it became clear LTWC had to move. In late 2012, longtime supporter, Barbara Harootunian, left LTWC a large donation in her will, transformative in our efforts to purchase a new property and plan a move.
