We are NOT open to the public, it is NOT ok to drop by unannounced! If you wish to volunteer, we will work with you as best we can and as our schedule permits, but dropping by is prohibited!

CLAWS is a volunteer run, state and federally licensed 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that is dedicated to helping both native wildlife and exotic species through rehabilitation, rescue and conservation education. We have taught over 45,650 people since January of 2005. All educators and animal care providers are volunteers, we have no paid employees.

Congratulations to Kindra, who made Animal Planet's 20 national semi-finalists for Hero of the Year 2007!

CLAWS is a unique organization in that we have a three part mission. This, at times, makes what we do much more difficult. However, it is also very fulfilling.

Our Mission

CLAWS, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping wild and exotic animals, through educating the public as well as rescuing and rehabilitating those animals in need. Our educational programs and wildlife rehabilitation are done on a local basis: however, our exotic animal rescue has spanned the entire country.

Our goals:

Teaching people to safely live in harmony with native wildlife
Rehabilitating injured, sick and orphaned native wildlife for release back into their native habitat
Discouraging people from obtaining exotic animals which are interesting but often difficult or dangerous to live with
Providing information and resources on proper care of exotic pets
Working and collaborating on both a local and national level to rescue and locate safe and permanent homes for displaced, neglected, abused and unwanted exotic animals

"The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Mohandas Gandhi	"Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand." Chinese Proverb
