Compassion for Every Creature
Wild Rivers Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) "no-kill" animal rescue in Curry County, Oregon. We strive to treat the animals in our care with the utmost compassion while we find them their forever placement.
Our mission is to assure compassionate and humane treatment of animals in our community through sustainable programs, education, and advocacy.
New Play Yard!
We continually look for ways to create an enriching experience for our animals and promote adoptions into loving, forever homes.
We've upgraded a space to provide an ongoing canine group play area and a pleasant area for meet-and-greets during adoption consultations.
Generously sponsored by Southern Oregon Subaru from Medford.

"Great clean facility, got a private tour as no one was there but staff and a vet. Had 7-8 dogs in a spotless indoor area. Very good conditions compared to other Rescues. We ended up rescuing a beautiful & healthy dog."
