Read about some of the animals we've successfully rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild.
Joey was found alone after his mother was hit by a car. At just 4 months old, this wallaby joey needed intensive care to survive. Our dedicated team provided round-the-clock bottle feeding and specialized care in a temperature-controlled environment.
After 8 months in rehabilitation, Joey was successfully released back into protected bushland where he continues to thrive. His release was carefully monitored to ensure a successful transition to life in the wild.
