Welcome to Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc.
Helping injured, orphaned and abandoned wildlife in the state of Nebraska since 1979.
This squirrel was found in Lincoln outside someone's door! She was frozen in the cold temps. They took their groceries inside, along with the squirrel, and called WRT. With some warmth and some time, the squirrel has come around and is starting to eat and drink. She is currently in our care. Thank you to the family that found her! She wouldn't have survived the cold Nebraska night without some help!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Our volunteers are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, including holidays. The Hotline Number is a 24 hour answering service available for after hours, to take messages. There are some volunteers that are available for after-hours calls, depending on the type of animal.
Please call the Hotline if you have questions about a wild animal, need assistance with an injured or orphaned animal or you would like more information on becoming a member of WRT! Our monthly meetings take place every second Tuesday at Grace Lutheran Church at 22nd & Washington in Lincoln. 7 p.m.
During the spring and summer months our volunteers are very busy with animal care. If there is any way you can transport the animal to a WRT member, it would be very helpful and much appreciated. The on-call person can direct you to the closest WRT volunteer available based on your location. |
