Wildthunder rehabilitation

Tracy and her team works around the clock, sometimes in the middle of the night with feedings, emergency intakes and sitting up with a sick critter to see them through a rough night.

Our life is centered around these animals. Animal pickups, food runs, and vet visits. We feed, we medicate, we love.

We do this with our phenomenal team of volunteers and on donations, fundraising and grants

Our team of volunteers come each day, giving part of their lives and hearts to help feed and clean and care for the animals at our facility. It's all for the good of the creatures. After all.. animal rescue isn't about us.. Its about saving these creatures that come to us for help.

We have to be their voice, as a child, Tracy became homeless, Out on the streets at a vulnerable young age Forced to survive rough times on her own, and through this she learned to understand these creatures who come to her cold, scared and hungry and in need of compassion.

At times its exhausting, but its a labor of love and the best reward is to see the animal recover, get a new home, run, fly or crawl back into the wild.

That's why we do it, that's what its all about.

Stinky was our first rehabilitation in 2014. He came in with severe head injuries, fractures to the head and face, swelling and infected necrotic tissue (which is how he earned his name).

On the right is Stinky and a friend being released back into the wild 3 and a half months later.

You can read Stinky's full story here.

In 2020 Wildthunder made a post asking for friends to recycle their old bras to help us mend the turtles that come into rehab. This quickly went viral! and there is now articles all over the world mentioning the work we do .

We no longer need any bra parts, but do ask if you would like to donate ,send us what you would have spent on postage, every little bit helps.
