Welcome to Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc.
Helping injured, orphaned and abandoned wildlife in the state of Nebraska since 1979.
Thank to you everyone who supported our Give Days in May!
All of the funds we received will be used to care for animals. We are already getting a second round of squirrels and birds and bunnies are arriving at our rehabbers' doors.
WRT volunteers are just that - volunteers. We don't get paid for what we do - every penny goes to help wildlife. WRT has been around since 1979 and cares for over 3,000 animals each year. We have volunteers across the state who spend thousands of hours each year, rescuing, rehabbing, transporting and releasing wildlife in our care.
One 22 lb. bag of Esbilac formula is $250. This year, we ordered 22 bags just to start out our year. We buy in bulk in order to save money and distribute supplies to our Team Leaders at the beginning of our busy time of year. As we get more volunteers and more animals to care for, the expenses continue to increase each year.
We couldn't do it without the help of wonderful donors like you!
A HUGE thank you goes out to Irving Middle School in Lincoln for collecting 2,919 items that WRT will send to TerraCycle for recycling. Every item we send in is worth money that WRT can then use for wildlife care. The students have a contest and we hear it was a very close race! Thank you for your continued support of Wildlife Rescue Team!

Our volunteers are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, including all 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 care, 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. |
