Congratulations to the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition!!

Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition (“TWRC”) serves the Greater Houston area as a wildlife emergency care and rehabilitation facility, and wildlife education center. Established in 1979 as Houston’s first such organization, TWRC receives an average of 5,000 animals per year from public rescuers.

Since 2001, TWRC has operated an on-site Baby Bird Program. Through this program, orphaned and injured baby birds are raised by about 250 trained volunteers at the TWRC Wildlife Center. These dedicated volunteers work in shifts feeding and caring for nestling and fledgling birds 12 hours per day, seven days a week, from May through August. When the baby birds reach the juvenile stage, they are sent to the homes of permitted rehabilitators and placed in outdoor flight cages for pre-release conditioning.

Primarily caring for orphaned, injured, and ill native Texas wildlife, TWRC occasionally receives domestic birds which have escaped their cages. TWRC’s network of volunteers, all animal lovers, work to return these lost birds to their rightful owners or help find new homes for them if the owners cannot be found.

TWRC is a 501(c)3 organization which functions with a team of 350 volunteers and permitted wildlife rehabilitators, and seven part-time staff members. The organization receives no federal or state funding, relying entirely on public donations for support.

For more information regarding TWRC’s activities, please visit their website at www.twrc-houston.org -or  call 713-468-8972.

Each month Texas Cats & Dogs Magazine picks one winning photo from pictures of rescue pets submitted by our readers.  The winning pet receives a professional photography session by Pettography for our cover and a donation to the rescue group from which their pet was received.  For more information, please visit the Covers for Charity section of www.texascatsanddogs.com
