How does PAWS help wild animals?
PAWS operates a wildlife hospital and rehabilitation center that includes a surgical suite, laboratory, an X-ray machine, a treatment and post-operative ward for recovering patients, and custom-built pools and enclosures to meet the needs of a wide variety of species. We have cared for more than 100,000 injured, ill or orphaned wild animals representing 260 species since we began wildlife rehabilitation in 1981. Our goal with all wild animals is to return them to the wild with the best possible chance of survival. We do not keep any wild animals permanently in captivity, for display, or for educational purposes.
