About Us
The Last Resort Wildlife Refuge is a NJ state licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility and nature preserve in West Milford NJ. Our rescue facility sits on over 80 acres of preserved and protected forest, in the Ramapo Mountains, an ideal environment for all the stages of rehabilitation in a supportive natural environment.
We rescue and rehabilitate orphaned and injured wildlife, provide medical attention, veterinary care, neonatal care and often round-the-clock nursing care to our more critical patients. Our dedicated team works together to ensure all our basics recive the highest quality of daily care and enrichment to equip all of our wild patients with the skills and tools needed to be successfully released or reintroduced back into their native environment. In rare cases, to provide sanctuary for those few, who, for one reason or another, cannot be released. We are a NJ 501c3 Non Profit, 100%Volunteer Organization and we receive no state or federal funding. We rely on donations and community support to continue saving lives, continue educational programs within the community. We provide a 24 hour wildlife hotline for wildlife emergencies throughout NJ.
We are currently bulding a 24 HR Wildlife Hospital ,on site, at our facility to ensure all of NJ's wildlife has a place to come to, for emergency medical care 24 hrs a day, FREE of charge. This will enable us to provide truly critical care, in emergencies, without having to transport the animals to a veterinarian, off-site for exrays, emergency surgery or hospitalization. We already purchased the exray machine and other crucial equipment. We just need to to complete renovations to the building. Please consider a contribution to making this a reality for ALL of NJ's Wildlife!

The Last Resort Wildlife team is made up of Amazing Volunteers. Wildlife rehabbers, Biologists, and Veterinary personel, all working together to ensure each animal receives the utmost quality of care and all their indidvual mental and physical needs are met at every phase of their rehabilitation journey.
We are a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. We work hard to educate the public on wildlife species, so they may better understand, respect and appreciate all our wild neighbors and learn to coexist peacefully with them.
