Our Mission

To provide a safe and compassionate emergency first response service for wildlife in need of urgent medical attention.

Due to the ever-increasing population and urbanization in the state of Florida, conflicts between people and wildlife are both inevitable and commonplace. Those conflicts; often resulting in life or death situations for the affected wildlife, require a rapid response by trained wildlife professionals. After recognizing the constant and increasing need for wildlife transportation and rescue, Heather Pepe Dillon and Matthew Buice Co-Founded WILD Florida Rescue, registered as a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Corporation.

A dove nested on a solar panel box and with work about to be done on it the nest could not stay. The woman calling in for assistance use to be an animal enforcement officer and was willing to help in any way she could. We talked her though a plan and she got a basket and hung it up.

A good Samaritan ( Belinda )pulled over and attempted to grab a great blue heron who had been hit by a car and was in the road, she then called our hotline for help. Then Shaun, Margie, and Deputy Hitchock stopped to help safely secure the bird. With WFR Lulu on the other side of the county they literally waited for more than an hour until she could get to the location where she then transported to the Florida wildlife hospital. The bird sadly suffered too many great injuries to survive but we applaud the efforts of these compassionate people who cared enough to stop and wait with the bird. Without them the bird would have been hit again or been left to suffered. 💜 ...
