♥ WISHES FOR WILDLIFE ♥
There are many ways you can help us with our mission of “Saving Wildlife.” We are a charitable organization that does not charge for our services. The wild animals we rescue don’t have owners to pay for their care, and we have no state, federal, or local funding. Our animals don’t have health insurance! Wildlife Images is completely dependent on donations to pay for food, housing, and medicine for these animals in need.
We’ve developed Wishes for Wildlife as an easy, alternative way to help! Who knows? You might have some of these items just laying around, going unused. Turn those items into valuable life-saving donations with Wishes for Wildlife. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 charity so all donations are tax deductible. To receive a tax deduction letter, email your name, address, phone number and what you donated to savingwildlife@wildlifeimages.org. We are open everyday from 9am to 4pm. Just come to the Gift Shop with your donation and tell us it’s for the Wishes for Wildlife program. We also have an Amazon Wish List! Just click the button to check it out. Thank you for all your support!
