AN ARIZONA-BASED RAPTOR RESCUE ORGANIZATION
An Arizona-Based Raptor Rescue Organization
What We Do
Our Mission:
Wild At Heart (WaH) is a rescue, rehabilitation, and release center for birds of prey in Arizona. Our primary purpose is to rescue injured owls, hawks, falcons, and eagles, rehabilitate them, and, ultimately, release them back into the wild. We strive to do what is in the best interest of these magnificent birds.
Wild At Heart is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization (Tax ID #86-0770883).
Our Focus:
RESCUE
Our highly trained and dedicated team rescue raptors that have been orphaned, injured, and displaced all over Arizona.
REHABILITATE
Our trained rehabilitators along with our veterinarians provide specialized care that increases the animal’s chances of returning to health and successful release to the wild.
RELEASE
Depending on the species, age, and the nature of injury or illness, rescued raptors can spend a few days to several months at our facility.
EDUCATE
WaH educates with a focus on the natural history of native wildlife to foster profound respect for animals and their habitats.
Together we can inspire the next generation to build a future where people and nature thrive!

Thank You to Our …
Veterinary Professionals: We would like to sincerely thank all veterinary professionals in the greater Phoenix area who have generously provided their time and talent to care for the many critically injured and sick raptors at Wild At Heart over the last 30 years. Without their knowledge and dedication, Wild At Heart would not give severely injured birds of prey the best chance of survival and release back to the wild.
Volunteers: While others work their way towards being different, our volunteers strive towards making a difference. Their dedication is essential to our success. We cannot do it without them, nor do we wish to do it without them! Our amazing volunteers bring ideas, positive energy, and a beautiful intensity. Thank you so much for the immeasurably valuable work our volunteers do daily for the Wild At Heart organization!
