The Adobe Mountain Wildlife Center was founded in May 1983. The Arizona Game and Fish Department was the first government agency to include the component of wildlife rehabilitation into its program.
The Wildlife Center's function is to care for sick and injured native wildlife. From the beginning, the center’s mission has been carried out with a small budget from the state’s Heritage Fund. With more than 155 animals housed at the facility, plus a large increase in animals during the spring and summer, this fund is quickly used.

With only one paid Arizona Game and Fish employee and a staff of volunteers, the center is always looking for new faces to join its volunteer team. If you have time to give, we are looking for volunteers 18 years old and up. If you enjoy teaching, animal husbandry, maintenance or office work, we have a spot for you. Come and see our facility, and learn about what we do and how you can help.
