Forever Wild Wildlife Rescue operates under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Veterinarian Dr. Tammy Eichmann of Countryside Veterinary Service (located in Canyonville and Myrtle Creek). We presently consist of four licensed wildlife rehabilitators — with experience ranging up to 24 years— and six sub-permittees. We are licensed to rehabilitate birds, raptors and mammals. We have a support team that staffs a Hotline, which receives calls of injured or orphaned wildlife and arranges for their placement. Others serve as a recovery team, where they rescue and transport wildlife to waiting rehabilitators. We also have members who serve at educational events, engage in fundraising activities and construct wildlife pens.

Forever Wild is a non-profit dedicated to the rehabilitation and the return to the wild of injured and orphaned wildlife in the beautiful Umpqua Watershed.

Forever Wild Wildlife Rescue is a non-profit that relies on donations to cover its expenses. Donated funds help pay for medicine and medical supplies, flight cages, animal feed, vet bills, and various administrative costs and other expenses related to the wildlife rehabilitation work. Forever Wild has no buildings, rent or salaries as the group is operated entirely by volunteers.

The mission and purpose of Forever Wild Wildlife Rescue is: to rescue and rehabilitate injured and orphaned native wildlife; to equip rehabilitators with the appropriate and necessary resources and facilities; to teach and train new rehabilitators and volunteers; to research and learn new methods of treatment and care; to financially support veterinarian services for animals in serious need of such care; to educate the community about interactions with wildlife; and ultimately, to return rehabilitated wildlife in a wild condition to their native habitat.

You're support is greatly appreciated!

The Barn Owl that came in is doing very well! Meriann has brought her through the worst of the starvation and she has put on weight.
Meriann says: "Here are a couple pictures that I got today. We keep her wing wrapped up and against her body to keep things in a stationary resting position to heal.  Every other day now we unwrap her and gently work each joint of the wing to keep things moving so the joints don’t freeze.  She has gained 80g in the last week (the first 3 days being liquid and easily digestible food) and still has about that much more to gain to be at a healthy weight for a female in our area. It’s amazing watching how she seems to inflate a bit more each day as she recovers. Her feet were bony sticks with dry skin and now they are starting to look like owl feet again.  I love all of the tiny little feathers of her face."
