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!

Wildlife in Distress

We can’t say enough about the heroes out there fighting these fires! 
Kristin, with the fire crew fighting the Tyee Ridge Fires, called Forever Wild last week to report a bat in distress. The adult female Long-Legged Myotis had flown into a bathroom at the fire command post and would not leave. When we arrived we found her frightened and dehydrated. A quick dose of Sub-Q fluids and carrying her to a stand of dense trees to hide in was all it took to get her flying again. The bathroom was bat-free and she was back out in the wild. 
The fires have misplaced so much of the wildlife , and the smoke has overwhelmed many animals. They don’t know where to go to be safe once their home is gone. 
We are deeply grateful to these firefighters for their commitment to save people, homes, and wild lands. But it shows a tremendous depth of compassion that as busy as these heroes are, as tired and weary as they are, they find time to stop and help a little bat who was frightened. 
Thank you fire fighters and support staff, this little bat may have had a pup out there, your kindness to her when you are already so burdened is heroic!
