STILL OPEN FOR PATIENT ADMISSION; TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR TOURS AND OFF SITE PRESENTATIONS

Badger Run Wildlife Rehab maintains several licenses from both the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. These licenses are to ensure that we comply with a myriad of rules and regulations, designed to keep the animals in our care safe, healthy, and happy. Recently, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has enacted the Avian portion of the Animal Welfare Act, which requires that we meet additional requirements for the welfare of our Animal Ambassadors. As our animals are of the utmost importance to us, we are more than happy to conform to these additional requirements. Unfortunately, USDA has asked us to suspend all tours and presentations, until they can perform our final inspection and issue our USDA Exhibitor Permit. Because there are a few enclosure updates which cannot be addressed until we have warm, dry weather, and because USDA has a number of facilities to inspect and a limited number of inspectors, we do not know exactly when we will be able to again be open for tours or offer off-site presentations. Please be patient with us and follow our Facebook page for updates! IMPORTANT NOTE: WE ARE STILL OPEN TO ADMIT PATIENTS FOR WILDLIFE REHABILITATION. THE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION ONLY APPLIES TO TOURS AND PRESENTATIONS.

2024 OUR 20th ANNIVERSARY YEAR!!!!!!

      Badger Run has been helping the sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife of southern Oregon for 20 years as of 2024! During that time thousands of animals have come into our care. Many have been mended and released back to the wild; a few join our educational ambassador team. We are indebted to our supporters and the small cadre of dedicated volunteers who have made Badger Run a success over the years. Did you know we have only one part-time paid staff member? Everyone else is a volunteer.
    We here at Badger Run are also committed to education in hopes that we inspire folks to take care of our environment and the animals we share this earth with. Over these 20 years we have done thousands of educational presentations around the Klamath Basin to this end. If you are interested in scheduling a tour just call us to make an appointment. We are also open the last Saturday of every month from noon to 4pm for “drop-in” tours. Also be sure to check our Facebook page for daily educational posts.
    As we continue into the future we are committed to always improving care. We were able to complete our new quarantine facility in December 2023 to deal with patient intakes in the shadow of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak.
