Florida Non-Profit Animal Rescues List

Most of FWC's activity centers around our 24-hour Helpline and the rehabilitation of native wildlife. The Helpline is vital to giving people timely advice about wildlife problems. Since the best place for wild animals is in the wild, we use the Helpline to establish the best course of action and to determine whether or not intervention is necessary. In the last three years, calls to the FWC Helpline have steadily increased. This past year, FWC has received in excess of 7000 calls from across Florida, and we expect that number to grow. Most of the time, people want help for animals hit by cars, injured by pets, or strayed or fallen from their homes. Similarly, many people seek information on damage control, health risks, safety, and agency referrals where specific animals are concerned. Though we do not have the staffing to do animal transport, we will, in exceptional cases, provide rescue and transport services.
