WILDLIFE REHAB & EDUCATION (WR&E)
Wildlife Rehab & Education (a non-profit organization) was formed to meet the increasing need for wildlife assistance in the Greater Houston / Upper Gulf Coast region. Each year, thousands of injured or orphaned wild birds and mammals are received by state and federally licensed WR&E rehabilitators. The techniques used to care for these animals maximize their chances for survival when they are returned to their native habitat. WR&E volunteers attend training courses and seminars to acquire the specialized skills necessary to give these creatures the best care possible. Many local veterinarians also volunteer their time and expertise to help with medications, x-rays and surgical procedures.

Please register by calling the wildlife center or sending Margaret an email, include your name and a telephone number. If you have questions please contact Margaret Pickell, volunteer coordinator at 713-861-9453 or via e-mail at Mpickell@wrande.org
In the case of unwanted wildlife, it is best to speak to someone with Wildlife Rehab and Education before intervention since they often can provide solutions that don’t require separating babies from their mother or trapping animals for relocation. 713-861-WILD (713-861-9453)
Animal Intakes: Please call 713-861-WILD (713-861-9453) before you bring in your animal. Our trained staff is available to answer all of your questions.
