Annually, more than 4,200 injured wildlife of over 100 unique species are admitted and treated by the center so the animal ultimately can be returned to their natural habitat. Among them are more than 2,300 mammals, 1,700 birds, 50 reptiles and over 100 unique species. In addition, more than 20 educational animal ambassadors reside at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
