Software we build for wildlife rehab, free for anyone to use
Small rehab programs rarely have a tech budget. We write the tools we need, run them on modest hardware, and publish the code so other rehabilitators can use and improve them.
Found an injured reptile or amphibian?
Our triage guide tells you exactly what to do, step by step.
We work only with native and naturalized Virginia wildlife. We cannot take in exotic or purchased pet species (purchased turtles, tortoises, ball pythons, bearded dragons, etc.) and we do not rehome unwanted pets. For exotic species, please contact a local reptile rescue.
