The details
Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, or WRR, centralized its operations to its original 212-acre private sanctuary in Kendalia on Oct. 21, Founder and President Lynn Cuny told Community Impact.
Previously, the wildlife rescue group had two rehabilitation complexes—one on San Antonio’s North Side, plus the WRR property in Kendall County.
What’s changed
Cuny said many residents would take displaced animals that weren’t actually in danger directly to the complex in San Antonio.
“In restructuring some of this, we will have fewer animals who the public is misguidedly trying to help,” Cuny said.
Additionally, some of the animals were received in San Antonio but needed to be transferred immediately to the animal hospital at the WRR sanctuary in Kendalia.
“We want to get the animals the help that they need much faster,” Cuny said.
The context
Overall, Cuny said that nothing will change—the exact same animals will be cared for, and the organization will operate in the exact same way—rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing native wildlife while providing sanctuary for non-native species that are released into their care.
“We recognize that many compassionate rescuers may not be able to make it to our Kendalia location,” a statement from WRR said on their website.
“To address this, we are expanding our Community Outreach efforts to ensure that if you can’t bring an animal to us, you have the resources to help.”
