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!

Bunny season!

This is the time of year that people start finding bunnies. Our local rabbits keep all their babies together in a nest when tiny, and only feed them a couple of times in 24 hrs. As they grow, mom will move them frequently to keep predators from finding them, but she will still stay away from them as much as possible. This long maternal absence can make people think the mother has abandoned the babies, but they do this to keep predators from noticing. Often this nest is hidden is grass, so please be on the lookout when mowing your lawn. If you find a bunny in your grass, mom is probably near. Keep pets and people away. Because rabbits have a very high mortality when captured, rehabbing them is only done under a few conditions:
They are still needing to nurse and mom is dead or gone
They are injured or starving
They have been captured by a dog or cat; in which case they will need antibiotic treatment
Call Forever Wild at 541-459-4023 and we can help you figure out if your bunny needs help or is fine left where it is. Thank you for looking out for our wild babies!
