About us

We are a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured, sick and orphaned wildlife including many raptors. Located in Price, we cover rural, out-of-the-way areas in Southeastern Utah. Half of our patients come from Grand and San Juan counties.

 

Wildlife rehabilitation is a profession born out of a love and concern for wild things everywhere. As wildlife rehabilitators we have taken this many steps forward, increasing our knowledge, skills and techniques into a (unpaid) career.

 

Ours is a specialized field that primarily involves vet/medical expertise. We are not veterinarians, but we have extensive backgrounds in medicine (people and animals). We do work closely with (specialized) veteranarians. We also have vast backgrounds in the natural history of the patients we care for.

 

The Division of Wildlife Recourses has a list of Utah rehabilitators and the animals that we can, lawfully, rehabilitate.
