Established in 1998 by Lisa Bates M.S. and Peter Lininger, the Tucson Wildlife Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of injured and orphaned wild animals throughout southern Arizona.
Tucson Wildlife Center became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in April of 2000. At that time we were immediately available to take in wild animals that had nowhere else to go. Special training, equipment and permits were obtained to handle the larger, orphaned or injured wildlife. The animals literally began pouring through the front door of the Center.
Our facility is set up to handle all of the larger animal species. We are one of the only centers in the area that can handle some of the more sizable native and federally protected animals and we specialize in birds of prey (hawks, owls and eagles) and javelina.
Our Center is located on the far east side covering Tucson and all of Southern Arizona to help large birds and mammals, and any animal species other centers will not handle.
