GULF COAST WILDLIFE RESCUE INC Information

GCWR sponsors and operates a 24-hour Rescue Hotline (979-849-0184) that the public can call if they find injured or orphaned animals or have questions concerning wildlife. Also, our group raises public awareness of wildlife issues through a variety of educational programs to school groups, civic organizations, and clubs free of charge. As a whole, GCWR typically cares for over 1500 animals per year with a greater than 60% release rate back to wild. GCWR has cared for over 250 different species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. If you have a favorite animal, chances are GCWR has cared for it. These animals are flying or running free today because of the efforts of GCWR.
