We  Have  to  leave  our  nest…

Wildlife Rehab Center (WRC) has served the Grand Rapids community for 30+ years as a reliable resource for injured and orphaned wildlife. Since our founding, we have grown to rescue over 4000 animals a year, all on a 1-acre urban property at our founders Peg and Roger Markle’s residence. In 2022, Roger suffered a serious accident while working in the barn. Thankfully he is recovering but it became clear that it was time for the Markle’s to officially retire and WRC needed a new “home”. We are looking at a current move out date of December 31, 2022. 

Unfortunately, their well-deserved retirement comes with a price. If our team is unable to find a new location, WRC will face closure. In response to this dire community need, we have embarked on an ambitious capital campaign. In addition to monetary contributions that will fund the initiative, we are seeking a donation of a moderately sized piece of land with water, electric, and sewer. Outbuildings would be a plus, but can also be built.

What can you do to support WRC and ensure it has a future for years to come? Visit wildlife-rehab-center.org to donate funds, use your connections to secure a new facility, or simply spread the word! Our wildlife needs you!
