Meeting the needs of wild animals in dire situations
HABITAT PROTECTION FOR NATIVE WILDLIFE
When native wild animals are injured or orphaned, licensed rehabilitators restore them to health and release them back where they were found - when possible. With the never-ending development in Florida, animals are often found in places that inappropriate for their eventual release. That's where we come in.
Since 1998, Forest Animal Rescue has worked with wildlife rehabilitators across the state of Florida to provide safe, protected land for the release of native wildlife. In the absence of human interference, they can re-acclimate to life in the wild on their own terms.
COORDINATING FOR THE RESCUE OF Captive Wildlife from Abuse or Exploitation
Captive wild animals that have been confiscated by authorities, used in research, abandoned to starve or have been attempted pets that failed because of their wild nature - they require lifelong care at an accredited sanctuary. We network, consult and assist other sanctuaries to benefit all animals in need.
Rehabilitation and Release of Wild Black Bears
Orphaned or injured wild bear cubs are nurtured and rehabilitated with minimal human interaction so that they learn to thrive on their own and can be released back into the wild.
Testimonials
What our volunteers and supporters have to say.
I have volunteered with Lisa and Kurt on three different occasions. I am unable to return at the present time, but make sure that I support them with donations. I cannot express how truly heart warming it was to be with two people who devote their lives to the loving care of these beautiful animals. I will never forget my volunteer experiences with them, and hope that life finds me able to return. Please, if you can donate or volunteer, do not hesitate to do so! Your life will be better for it!
I volunteered at PRR&R [now FAR] several years ago and had the most wonderful experience. The best interests of the animals are at the forefront of everything that Kurt and Lisa do and they work tirelessly. I will never forget my 6 weeks at the sanctuary!
Absolutely awesome sanctuary with incredibly knowledgable and passionately dedicated owners. They make a difference and we are proud to support them.
