From rescue

WE BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES.

TO RELEASE

WE BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES.

We know that spearheading effective conservation can begin with a hatchling Carolina Wren fallen from its nest, or a box turtle recovering from a car collision.

At Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary, every injured or orphaned wild animal gets the professional, compassionate care it deserves so it can return to the wild and play its role in Virginia's complex ecosystems. Through each patient we treat and education program we present, we work to repair our wild world and inspire others to join us. Will you? 

Our Mission
& Vision

Stewardship begins with one animal.
