MISSION STATEMENT: Free Again, Inc. is a volunteer, non-profit organization providing the Southern Illinois region with rehabilitation services for injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife. Through awareness and education, we encourage a peaceful coexistence between people and our native wildlife

Free Again has been providing rehabilitation services to injured and orphaned wild animals in Illinois since 1988.

Free Again Wildlife is a 501 (C)(3) non-profit corporation supported entirely by donations of time materials and financial contributions from donors and receives no funding from city, state or federal entities. Contributions are utilized to purchase medical supplies and feed; perform laboratory, diagnostic and surgical procedures; and to help maintain the facilities.

    Baby season each spring means hundreds of bottle fed deer, opposums, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, and other young wildlife.

  • Support our facilities
