wildlife shelter

Creature haven outdoors

A wildlife shelter is a facility that takes in injured, orphaned, or displaced wild animals for care and rehabilitation.

The goal is typically to release animals back into their natural habitat once recovered.

Some shelters also provide permanent homes for animals that cannot survive in the wild: The owl was taken to a wildlife shelter after being hit by a car.
