Caring for Animals, Connecting Communities

Accepting Wildlife patients soon!

Desert Wildlife Center is working hard to obtain our final wildlife rehabilitation permits from the state of California. We expect to obtain these permits sometime in June 2025. Until then, we cannot accept wildlife patients at this location.

If you have an animal that you suspect to be injured or ill, please contact our helpline at (760) 203-5500 or visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Laboratories/Wildlife-Health/Rehab/Facilities for a list of certified wildlife rehabilitators in California.
