CWRC is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), primarily volunteer, public service organization serving western Oregon. We provide care for approximately 700 animals a year at an average cost of nearly $100 per animal. Refer to our Patient Statistics page for a detailed analysis of animal admissions. We receive no funds from federal, state, county, or city agencies and are totally dependent on memberships, donations, merchandise sales, grants, and special-event fundraisers to pay for our daily operation. Over 100 volunteers donate over 10,000 hours a year to run the Center. We answer over 4,000 calls a year on our 24-hour Help Hotline.



We cooperate with local veterinarians, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Humane Society, state and local police, and city and county animal-control personnel to retrieve and care for injured wild animals found by them or the public.



Whether an animal is hit by a car, or flies into a window, or is caught by a cat, CWRC is there to provide it with a safe, caring environment in which to recover.



To further share our wildlife knowledge with the public, we maintain an extensive website detailing information on various ways to peacefully co-exist with the wildlife sharing our communities.
