Needs
DONATIONS: Your $50 donation gives over 100 (calls) of our native wild animals a second chance to survive. Your support has a significant impact. Together, we can share our backyards and cities with our wild neighbors.
VOLUNTEER: Interested in volunteering with the hotline? We have two volunteer opportunities:
Tier 1 is the call center operator responding to the public's phone calls.
Tier 2 responds to public emails. They also lend a hand to the Tier 1 volunteers by returning voicemails during our busy season.
Your shift and volunteer duties are 100% virtual, making it possible for anyone to volunteer, even folks from outside of North Texas or individuals with disabilities. You will need a phone, an internet connection, and a computer.
By joining our team of over seventy volunteers, you will meet kindred spirits making a difference for the wildlife in your neighborhood and city. You can impact a single wild animal’s life or a nest full of babies with each phone call. Experience the joy of reuniting a baby squirrel with its mother or assisting a caller in successfully evicting a mother raccoon from their attic. While ensuring mother raccoon can safely take her babies with her. Our volunteers report that their shifts help them see the good in people, like a busy executive stopping to rescue an animal in need.
Speaking of busy, our volunteers are busy individuals, and this opportunity is designed to allow for that. Our volunteers commit to a 2 or 3-hour shift once a week that can be done from any location. We provide volunteers with resources, education, mentors, and access to fellow volunteers. All the tools you will need to make a lifesaving difference.
Volunteering is truly a rewarding opportunity if you love helping people and love animals. Join our "wild" family today! Email or call us at volunteer@dfwwildlife.org or call 972-234-WILD (9453).
