About Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary

Nestled in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary cares for over 1,000 injured and orphaned wild animals each year with the goal of returning them to the wild once recovered. Our team of professionally licensed rehabilitators provides scientifically-informed and deeply compassionate care for every patient, from a white-footed mouse to a Great Horned Owl. The Sanctuary sits on 20 forested acres dotted with over 50 outdoor enclosures, creating a peaceful and realistic setting for our patients to recover in. Our highly individualized approach to patient care and our authentically “wild” setting make our facility a true Sanctuary for the animals in our care. In tandem with our wildlife rehabilitation program, a core part of our mission is public education. We provide upwards of 50 educational outreach programs annually featuring our beloved team of nonreleasable education ambassador animals. Our goal is to inspire humans of all ages to feel more connected to and responsible for their wild neighbors. The third tenet of our mission is collaboration. We work closely with other like-minded conservation organizations to contribute data to ongoing wildlife science and health studies, and we lend our voice to conservation legislation efforts in Virginia that will help forge the brighter future we care so deeply about.
