A group of animal caregivers in the Lone Star State said they need the public's support after city officials gave them an ultimatum to either relocate or close their doors.
The North Texas Wildlife Center, in a June 28 Instagram post, said it is "at risk of being shut down."
"At this time, our organization is striving to be as resilient as the wildlife we care for," the North Texas Wildlife Center posted on its Facebook page Tuesday, July 1. "We need your voice. We need your action. We need your support."
The facility, according to its website, helps rescue, rehabilitate and release orphaned and injured "native Texas wildlife."
The center needs a new facility with outdoor space to continue helping local wildlife, the center's spokesperson, Rebecca Hamlin, confirmed to USA TODAY.
Hamlin said the center, the biggest multispecies wildlife center in North Texas, operates out of a house its founders and president previously purchased.
