Gold Country Wildlife Rescue cared for over 800 injured or abandoned animals in 2008.

Gold Country Wildlife Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. Our trained volunteer rehabilitators are licensed by California Departments of Fish & Game to care for and release native wildlife. There are no paid employees at Gold Country Wildlife Rescue. Our volunteers typically pay for materials like cages and food out of their own pockets. Our only desire is to care for the animals that are frequently injured or abandoned as a result of man's presence in their habitats.

Do we oppose expansion, loathe the neighbors building their dream home next door, or wish we had been born an owl, raccoon, or fawn? No. It simply means we take responsibility for the animals our presence has displaced or hurt. Donating to Gold Country Wildlife Rescue is a vital way you can share that responsibility. Your tax-deductible donation goes entirely to costs like food, first aid equipment, veterinary care, caging, our fawn rehab center, and more.
