Founded in 1998, Forest Animal Rescue is dedicated to helping to correct some of the issues that wild animals face in conflict with humans.
Forest Animal Rescue works to purchase, protect and restore wildlife habitat so that when licensed wildlife rehabilitators are unable to release animals back where they came from, we can fill that need. With the rapid pace of development in Florida and thousands of acres being bulldozed every day, more and more animals are being found injured or orphaned with no home to return to. Rehabilitators are not permitted to release animals on public land, so our goal is to ensure that they have sufficient land with proper habitat and an absence of humans to learn to thrive in the wild again.
The only animals we rehabilitate ourselves are black bear cubs at the request of authorities in Florida and surrounding states.
With help from private donations like yours, we help correct the issues caused by others. You can choose to make a one-time gift or schedule a monthly donation to support our ongoing work for animals. All donations are tax-deductible as provided by law.
