The summer season is the perfect time to start volunteering at the Sanctuary. A
full detailed page is available on their website at Pensacolawildlife.com. The Wildlife
Sanctuary also offers a summer and fall internship program to get even more involved.
The internship application is found on the website under Intern Programs. The
Sanctuary networks with University of Florida, University of West Florida, Pensacola
State College, and colleges throughout the states with intern programs. The Sanctuary
fundraises through a quarterly membership newsletter, supply drives, and outreach
programs. Their thriving aluminum recycling program is in its 11th year and is
going strong. The community and area businesses play a vital role in the Sanctuary’s
continued success through sponsorships and outreach.
For those of you interested in seeing the animals and how they have rebounded from
care at the sanctuary, self-guided tours are available Wednesday through Saturday
from noon to 3:30 pm at a cost of $5. Group tours are also welcomed by appointment.
Animal drops are encouraged 7 days a week from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. If an animal
is found after hours that needs help or care, an overnight care guide is available on
their website at Pensacolawildlife.com that will assist in caring for the creature until
morning opening hours.
