South Florida Wildlife Center

South Florida Wildlife Center’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and release injured animals that find their way into the Fort Lauderdale facility. Occasionally, when creatures need extra attention, they’ll stick around (such as during re-nesting) until they’re well enough to be set free in the wild. SFWC also works to educate the community on animal mishandling, the leading cause of wildlife injuries. Once a month, the center opens its doors to the public for guided tours through various habitats, though visits are limited to just 25 people.
