Residents of BACK TO THE WILD

When you are ready, you may return to BACK TO THE WILD..

Another popular means of supporting the important work done by the BACK TO THE WILD center is to adopt a wildling at the center. There are many levels of support possible depending on the type of injury or orphan and the length of time required for rehabilitation.

BACK TO THE WILD invites you to play a vital role in the care of injured and orphaned wildlife by adopting a "wildling" at the Center. Your donation toward the adoption of one of the wildlife residents at the Center will go directly toward the care and treatment of the animal's needs. Also, the permanently disabled wild animals serve as ambassadors and are powerful educational tools that will benefit both humans and other wildlife.

The goal of BACK TO THE WILD is to develop awareness, appreciation and respect for the animals that share our natural world. Each year, the Center receives over 2,500 animals in need of help. Many are released back into their natural habitat. Unfortunately, not all can be returned; a few disabled animals are permanent residents and are used in educational programs to benefit other wildlife.

Your adoption of an animal makes a perfect school, scout or club project or a unique gift for someone special. The adoption of an animal of your choice includes an adoption certificate and an 8" X 10" photograph.

You may adopt a wildling in one of two ways: PayPal or mailing a check.

1. To securely use a credit card or your own PayPal account, simply select the time period and then click the appropriate PayPal button.
2. To mail a check, please go directly to the ADOPTION APPLICATION FORM to print and mail with a check.
