Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation

The Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation is located in rural Garfield County near the town of Silt. The Mission Statement of the Schneegas Wildlife Foundation is to provide quality, professional care and rehabilitation for injured or orphaned wildlife, in conjunction with educational programs on wildlife and environmental issues.

The Schneegas Wildlife Foundation works closely with, but is not funded by, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service or any local government or animal control departments. The Foundation accepts all species of wildlife brought in by these public agencies as well as by citizens.
