Our Mission…
Alabama Wildlife Center is a 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1) nonprofit organization with a dual mission:
1. Provide medical & rehabilitative care for Alabama’s injured and orphaned native birds
2. Educate people in order to heighten awareness and appreciation of Alabama’s native wildlife
…Our History
AWC was founded by Anne Miller in 1977. What started as a small, all-volunteer, and home-based organization has grown into Alabama’s largest wildlife rehabilitation center.
Since AWC’s inception, AWC has helped rehabilitate over 100,000 sick and injured species of animals.
• Mammals
• Reptiles
• Birds
In 2008, AWC dedicated their efforts strictly to Alabama’s wild native birds – due to the increasing impacts on wild bird populations and the growing number of mammal rehabilitators.
