On Wings of Care is dedicated to promoting the welfare of domestic animals and wildlife and their habitats by helping with searches, rescues, transports, rehabilitation, and scientific research. Our efforts include:
• Coordination of services by experienced pilots, scientists, veterinarians, photographers, and wildlife rehabbers and specialists
• Preparation and dissemination of information and education related to the rescue, rehabilitation, raising, conservation, and protection of animals and their habitats
While there are many efforts and projects that On Wings Of Care volunteers support indirectly with our own funds, letters, petitions, and efforts, there are several major areas of effort on which we've chosen to focus directly and intensely in the past few years. Some of the more recent ones are listed below; just follow the links below to see more.
