Found an abandoned baby bird on the ground with no sign of a nest or mama bird around, so I decided to give them a call. Left a voice mail and got called back in less than 5 minutes. I was so happy & relieved to have been given an appointment to drop off right away, but unfortunately the baby bird passed before I was able to take him in :( not sure how long he had been on his own before I found him. The young lady I spoke with was so kind and helpful. I'm sure the little baby bird would have been in great hands with them.

Found an abandoned baby squirrel, contacted this center, they provided all the necessary guidance and then took it in. Hope little guy recovers and will be ready to go back into the wild! Thanks y’all doing a great job helping our beautiful wildlife!

One would think the Texas Wildlife Rehab would be in a rural setting. I rescued 2 morning dove and only turned them in because I was told it's against the law to have any wild life, actually felt like a threat. And after reading about them euthanizing animals turned in , I don't know folks something isn't right. I didn't like the fact that a possum was in a cage in the front office. I was treated as If I didn't know anything about wildlife from a volunteer kid .They just didn't know I've rescued and rehabed many wild life in many countries. Just don't like the attitude they gave off as if they knew more than me without asking me my experience with wildlife, or have you rescued wild life before? One would think...

I was told about this place when my neighbor found two abandoned baby squirrels in his yard. He said he took a squirrel there and they nursed it back to health and provided updates. I was hopeful I would receive the same. I know they work off of donations so I provided a rather generous donation to help with the 2 baby squirrels. I asked if I could see them before leaving and I was told no they were already with the vet. I later emailed for an update and days later I received a response that they do not provide updates. I wish I would have just attempted to save them myself. At least I would know one way or another if they are in fact still alive. I have read other reviews about them euthanizing animals so now I’m concerned i sent these babies off to be out to sleep without even being given a chance.

A baby bird got left behind in the nest in my mailbox! He was the tiniest! I monitored for 48 hours before it was clear that he was on the path to die! I was so stressed out! Animal hospital wouldn’t help! I found these wonderful people and left a voice message! They called me back within 15 minutes! Sydney was so helpful and reassuring! They got me right in! I think baby bird is going to make it now! So relieved! TY!

Wonderful, compassionate people at this center. Over the last couple of years, we have brought two baby birds that fell from the nest too soon, and an injured squirrel. They take them in with the goal to rehabilitate them and release back into the wild, if possible. While they always appreciate donations (they have a GoFundMe page, have automatic donations through use of Kroger/Randall grocery cards and also welcome donations of food and supplies for the animals), it is purely voluntary and not required to drop off wildlife. To the gentleman in a previous review that was put off when he brought in his wife and kids to look at the educational animals there, if it was during the busy spring and summer seasons, the center's first focus is to care for the animals in need; the cages and exhibits have signs on them so it is not necessary to have a tour guide to view them.
