Welcome to Palmetto Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation of S.C.
Palmetto Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation of South Carolina (PWRR) is a non-profit organization consisting of experienced wildlife rehabbers and enthusiasts who are pleased to service the communities of South Carolina. Our family style group of rehabbers work together to help preserve our wildlife by taking in injured and orphaned infant or juvenile wildlife, with the goal of nurturing and healing them before then releasing them back into their natural habitats! Our Rehabbers not only learn from each other, but we lean on each other regularly for education and support.
​
With your help, we can make a real difference. We invite you to join us in our mission to protect and preserve our state's wildlife.

Most of the species we help aren't able to be immediately released back into the wild once they're old enough, but require a "soft release". This means the animals are kept in an enclosed area outside where they spend a few weeks or months learning how to forage for food while becoming familiar with their surroundings, and especially learning how to identify and show fear of predators. Once it has been determined by the Rehabber the animal is able to provide and defend for itself adequately, the animal will then slowly be released into the wild. And then we do it all over again.
