Tucson Wildlife Center was established in 1998 by Lisa Bates and Peter Lininger, and became a 501(c)3 in 2000. At that time, we were immediately available to take in wild animals that had no where else to go.
Services provided by Tucson Wildlife Center include an emergency helpline operating 24/7, capture and transportation of injured animals, a 24-hour emergency room, staff wildlife veterinarians on call 24/7, rehabilitation, release, and education.We specialize in the treatment and release of animals such as javelina, birds of prey, and coyotes.

Report
We have a handful of animals unable to be released for various reasons. These animals often serve as surrogate parents to newborn orphans brought to us by the community. Read some of our residents' stories and adopt one to help wildlife that can be released. Bubba was admitted to TWC as a fledgling great horned owl with a broken wing.
