Swift animal rescue transportation for wildlife is critical to rehabilitation success. The sooner injured or orphaned animals reach licensed care, the better their chances of survival and recovery.
At Heart of Piedmont Wildlife Rescue, we specialize in the safe, coordinated transportation of wild animals to licensed rehabilitators and wildlife hospitals across Virginia. Our team works to ensure efficient animal transport for most native species impacted by habitat loss, vehicle collisions, poisoning, pollution, animal attacks, and other emergencies.
We aim to protect individual lives and support the health of Virginia’s native ecosystems by serving as stewards for all native creatures in our natural world.
