What does WRNC mean in VETERINARY

Wildlife Rehabilitators of North Carolina (WRNC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the humane and ethical rescue, rehabilitation, and release of injured or orphaned wildlife across the state. We work closely with other conservation and animal welfare organizations, government agencies, and volunteer community members to ensure that displaced wildlife receives the best possible care.

There are a number of ways you can get involved with WRNC. You can make a donation directly to our organization, volunteer your time at an event or fundraising activity, spread the word about WRNC on social media, or become a Foster Care Provider for orphaned wildlife in need of rehabilitation before they are ready to be released back into their natural habitats.

WRNC assists all types of native wildlife species in North Carolina including mammals such as coyotes, foxes, raccoons & deer; birds such as cardinals, owls & hawks; reptiles like turtles & snakes; and amphibians like newts & frogs.

Yes, volunteers must be 18 years old or older due to liability concerns. If you are under 18 but would still like to get involved with WRNC we recommend contacting your local animal shelter for ways you can still help animals in need!

In most cases it’s best to leave wild animals alone so they can go about their natural behaviors. However if an animal appears sick or injured or you suspect it may have been abandoned by its parents then it likely needs rescuing. It’s always better safe than sorry - if there’s any doubt then it’s best to call your local rescue center or contact someone trained in caring for wild animals for further advice.

No – Wild animals should not be kept as pets since domesticated animals have different needs than those found in nature and may not thrive in captivity even with proper care and attention. A qualified rehabilitator is better equipped to provide the necessary care needed for the animal to recover before releasing them back into their natural habitat where they belong.

The first thing you should do is contact your local Animal Control Officer or Animal Shelter who will be able to provide you with advice on how best proceed based on your situation - this might involve calling a qualified rehabber directly if needed. If there isn't anyone available locally then you can reach out directly to WRNC via our website or social media channels for assistance!

Yes – All donations made towards WRNC are 100% tax deductible! We are registered 501(c)(3) non-profit so all contributions made directly towards our organization are tax exempt according to federal law.

Once the period of rehabilitation is complete and the animal has been deemed fit enough for release back into its native habitat then they will be brought back to wherever possible – typically this means returning them somewhere close by where they were originally found unless relocation may prove more beneficial in some cases (eg if potential threats exist). Depending on the species please note that rehabilitation may sometimes require long periods confinement before being released back into nature which should always be done responsibly & ethically by qualified personnel only!
