The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is Eastern Long Islands ONLY Wildlife Hospital. A 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the rescue, medical rehabilitation and release of native wildlife on the East End of Long Island. The Center opened its doors in 2000. Since then, with the aid of a small staff and dedicated volunteers, we have rescued and rehabilitated tens of thousands of animals. Each animal that crosses our doorstep receives comfort and compassion. Animals stay in our facility for days, weeks, and sometimes months before they are strong enough to be released back into the wild, or until we find a suitable facility if an animal is non-releasable. We are open 365 days a year and are available on call 24 hours a day. The Center operates solely on the generosity of donations and does not receive government funding.
