Hoosier Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation is committed to helping injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife native to Indiana. Their core service is to provide state-licensed care to these animals with the goal of releasing them back into the wild. This includes but is not limited to providing veterinary care, housing, and raising orphaned babies and juveniles. They are also committed to promoting healthy human-wildlife relationships via educational programs for schools, events, and community outreach initiatives.

They serve over six counties in Indiana and takes in hundreds of animals per year. They receive no state or government funding and rely entirely on donations, grants, and fundraisers. They are planning their 3rd Annual Baby Shower Fundraiser at the Woolly Yak Ranch & Winery on April 13 and will be at the Indy Creation Fest at Grace Church on April 27!
