Our Sanctuary Mission
Founded in 2008 by Mary Martin, Back to the Wild Rescue & Rehab serves St. Mary's, Calvert, and Charles counties by bridging emergency wildlife stabilization and rural companion animal rescue.
Working closely with licensed Maryland veterinary clinics and trained volunteer rehabilitators, we provide species-specific nutrition, post-surgical recovery habitats, and humane community education for Southern Maryland residents.
Core Rescue & Rehabilitation Services
Orphaned & Injured Triage
Immediate warm-incubator care, hydration therapy, and wound management for displaced native birds, small mammals, and rural strays.
Flight & Recovery Enclosures
Outdoor acclimatization pens at our California, MD property designed to rebuild strength prior to safe release or permanent placement.
Rural Companion Foster Care
Spay/neuter sponsorship, vaccinations, and adoptive home screening for abandoned dogs and cats in St. Mary's County.
Intake Guidelines & Contact
Before transporting an animal to our Saint Andrews Church Road facility, please email our intake desk so a rehabilitator can prepare an appropriate recovery enclosure and advise on safe transport.
