Animal
Care Many of the animals brought to AWF are seriously injured, most often due to people's convergence into their native spaces. These animals often need intensive veterinary care. There is nothing sadder than leaving an animal to die because no one cares or there is no place to take them. And, it sends a terrible message to our society, to our children-- that the value of life is meaningless; that our responsibility for the environment and for the animals with whom we share it is negligible. And when we devalue life, we devalue ourselves.  AWF offers a fully operational animal care
clinic and rehabilitation center on 13-1/2 acres.
The center is run by a veterinarian who
specializes in wildlife medicine and conservation
biology and volunteers who help care for animals
brought to the center. There are few such
facilities in the United States, even fewer in
Oregon. Since we opened our clinic doors late in
1998, we help over 400 animals a year brought to
us by concerned citizens, veterinarians, the
Department of Fish & Wildlife, game
commissioners, among others. AWF works in
cooperation with these agencies to provide
services few other organizations can. And AWF
teaches people that each of us is a steward of
our own world.Wildlife Rehabilitator If you are a wildlife rehabilitator and need information about wildlife care, check out our FAQs. Keep in mind, in most states you must become licensed before you can rehabilitate wild animals on your own. This is to be sure that people have the proper knowledge, skills and facility to care for wildlife. Volunteers usually don't need permits as long as they work at centers that are licensed.
