Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (SWCC) offers a home for life in our accredited wildlife sanctuary, the largest sanctuary for animals native to the southwest in the United States. SWCC is the only sanctuary in Arizona capable of caring for large mammals such as black bears, mountain lions, and Mexican gray wolves. As an accredited sanctuary, SWCC must operate under strict and rigorous guidelines with respect to animal management and care. SWCC is funded through donations and grants and we appreciate on the hard work of countless volunteers. Policy Regarding Comments on SWCC’s page:

As Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week comes to a close, we want to give a huge thank-you to our incredible vet techs! 🤍

The first stop for any animal that comes through our doors is our Veterinary Hospital. Our vet techs play an essential role in caring for the wildlife at Southwest Wildlife. Their knowledge, compassion, and dedication help ensure every animal receives the care it needs, whether preparing for release back where they belong or supporting our permanent sanctuary residents.

We’re so grateful for all they do, this week and every week!

Happy Wolf Awareness Week from Southwest Wildlife!

We’re starting Wolf Awareness Week with a behind-the-scenes look at the care one of our Mexican gray wolves, Angus, received during his annual exam.

During his dental check, Dr. Woodburn discovered signs of dental disease in one of Angus’s lower molars that was likely causing him discomfort. To prevent further pain, the team determined that the tooth needed to be extracted.

Before the procedure, our Clinic Manager, Dani, cleaned and polished Angus’s teeth to reduce bacteria in his mouth. Dr. Woodburn then carefully removed the affected tooth, using dental X-rays to confirm the entire tooth had been extracted before suturing the gum tissue closed.

Did you know? Each tooth has its own number for medical reference, just like in human dentistry! Angus’s affected molar was identified as tooth 410. 🦷

Annual exams help our team identify potential health concerns and provide the individualized care our animals need. This Wolf Awareness Week, we’re highlighting the remarkable wolves in our care and the work that goes into keeping them healthy.

Thank you to our supporters whose generosity makes this care possible! 💚

Today is Donor Advised Fund Day! Did you know your charitable giving could help wildlife through a donor-advised fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to contribute funds, receive potential tax benefits, and recommend grants to the nonprofit organizations and causes you care about.

That means if you already have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center! This Donor Advised Fund Day, consider putting your charitable dollars to work for wildlife.

Watch this quick video for an explanation of a DAF: https://videos.fidelitycharitable.org/watch/BA2B9rENkyB7CnFdJFaSi8?
