Tucson Wildlife Center was established in 1998 by Lisa Bates and Peter Lininger, and became a 501(c)3 in 2000. At that time, we were immediately available to take in wild animals that had no where else to go.
From that point on, animals began pouring through the front door of the center.
Services provided by Tucson Wildlife Center include an emergency helpline, capture and transportation of injured animals, a state of the art emergency room – comprised of triage, radiology, & surgery, a dedicated staff of wildlife veterinarians, rehabilitation, release, and education professionals. We specialize in the treatment and release of native southern Arizona animals such as javelina, birds of prey, coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, and more. All services are provided free to the public.
