Austin Wildlife Rescue’s Intake Center is now located at
811 E. 13th Street, Austin, TX 78702 — right off the I-35 highway! 

AWR's new Intake Center location will make it even easier for our community to bring in injured and orphaned wildlife in need of care. Hours will remain the same, 9am-4pm daily and we’ll continue providing the same compassionate care as we have since our founding in 1977.


IMPORTANT INTAKE UPDATE

Due to New World Screwworm quarantine orders issued by the Texas Animal Health Commission, Austin Wildlife Rescue cannot currently accept 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺-𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 (mammals, birds) from areas deemed to be "infestation zones" within counties listed on the TAHC website, without prior authorization from TAHC. We want to note that it is not the entire county, but rather the specific infestation zone within those counties.

These restrictions are required by state quarantine regulations and may change as the situation develops. Please check our website and the Texas Animal Health Commission for the latest updates.
