MEMBERSHIP AND CONTRIBUTIONS SWRR is an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Your donation is tax deductible. We operate solely on income from donations from SWRR members, volunteers, the general public, sponsors and occasional grant funds for designated projects. We depend on the generosity of community members and organizations to allow us to provide food and medical care to the injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife we receive. It costs us an average of $15.00 and 11 volunteer hours to care for each wild animal that is received.
and mail it to the address provided. Members will receive our quarterly news letter and may attend functions put on by the organization.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization that needs your help to continue this vital work in our community. Without this organization the animals would not be able to get a second chance at survival in the wild.
SWRR is always in need of hard-working, reliable volunteers with a love for nature. If animal care is not your passion, volunteer opportunities are available in our education program and fund raising events.
We are now taking applications for volunteers to help feed and care for baby birds at the Wildlife Center in Anderson River Park. Have you ever found a baby bird and wondered what to do with it? Is that baby really an orphan? Find out what you need to know to care for the summer babies at the Center. We'll train you and only require that you volunteer for one 4 hour shift a week at the center. The babies are depending on us!
If you are a teenager 13 to 18 years old, you can work with us in the Young Volunteers category. Please read the Policies & Procedures Manual (download below) for more information.
We ask that all volunteers become members of our organization, as membership fees help to cover the operating expenses of the center.
If you have questions, you can also call the center and ask to speak to our Volunteer Coordinator. You can also call her directly:
Janet Story, Volunteer Coordinator 530 347-1747
See our Links web page for videos filmed at the Center.
