About

Our Mission

CLAWS, Inc. is an 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

• Coexisting with Wildlife: Teaching people to safely live in harmony with native wildlife. We teach communities how to safely and respectfully live alongside native wildlife, fostering harmony and understanding.

• Giving Wildlife a Second Chance: We rehabilitate injured, sick, and orphaned native wildlife, preparing them for a successful return to their natural habitat. We have over 20 years of experience in caring for a wide variety of creatures and, of course, work with properly trained veterinarians to provide the best possible care and rehabilitation for these animals.

• Protecting Exotic Animals: We discourage the private ownership of exotic animals, educating the public about the challenges and dangers often associated with their care. We also provide resources and information for responsible exotic pet ownership and work tirelessly to rescue and rehome displaced, neglected, abused, and unwanted exotic animals across the country.

At CLAWS Inc., our passion fuels our commitment to the welfare of wild and exotic animals. Our unique, three-part mission presents challenges, but the rewards are immeasurable. The honor of supporting these injured animals' healing and rebuilding their trust, witnessing their triumphant return to the wild, and inspiring children to love and respect these creatures—that positive impact fuels our dedication, 24 hours a day, every single day

Our dedication spans across the country as we champion the welfare of these animals and educate the community on harmonious coexistence.
