MISSION STATEMENT
Shasta Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, Inc. (SWRR) is an independent, non-profit 501(c)3
organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick, orphaned and injured
wildlife in Northern California. Through all our activities we educate and encourage our
community to value the connection between people and the natural environment.
SWRR was established in Redding, Shasta County, California in 1979. SWRR provides
restorative care to over 100 different species from all over Northern California. Each year our
volunteers care for over 1,500 birds and mammals. Licensed by both the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game, SWRR actively cooperates
with both these and other local animal control authorities. Injured and confiscated wildlife are
routinely turned over to our organization for care. In addition to our primary concern, SWRR is
an active participant in non-invasive wildlife research, and sponsors educational programs to
help encourage awareness of the problems wildlife encounter.
Much of the trauma experienced by wildlife is a result of their interaction with humans such as
vehicles, gunshot wounds, dogs, cats, pesticides, power lines, fences, and habitat destruction.
SWRR seeks to offset these hazards through its ongoing rehabilitation and educational
programs, and by encouraging mankind to learn to appreciate, respect, and protect wildlife.
