North Texas Wildlife Center

This Giving Tuesday, North Texas wildlife needs you more than ever.

We’re experiencing a 170% increase in intakes compared to this time last year, and we’ve just purchased a new facility- meaning we’ll be paying double the costs until it’s fully move-in ready. Your support right now is critical to keep our doors open and our lifesaving work going.

As one of the few wildlife centers in North Texas with a dedicated intake center, we serve as the first stop for orphaned, injured, and sick wildlife ranging from baby birds, opossums, raccoons, to countless others impacted by pets, vehicles, poisons, or human activity. Our volunteers, trained shift leads, and veterinary team work tirelessly to stabilize each patient and prepare them for release back into the wild.

$1,000 – Senior Opossum Sanctuary for non-releasable elderly opossums in a peaceful, permanent environment.
