Our History
The Ellijay Wildlife Rehabilitation Sanctuary is a federal and state licensed 50-acre
facility that has been rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals for over 20 years. We
became a nonprofit organization in 1994.
Summer camp, “Camp Wildlife,” is a natural extension of what began within our own
family and eventually extended into the families of our beautiful State of Georgia. Sharing
and teaching is a major part of our mission to serve America’s wildlife and our community
in medically treating our injured and orphaned wildlife for their eventual release back into the
wild. These camps will give you an unequaled opportunity to get a true hands-on experience
with the vet techs and veterinarians in the rehabilitation of our wildlife and maybe even the
chance to be a part of the release of an animal that has been successfully rehabilitated and
can be returned to its natural habitat. As the Sanctuary continues to grow, we hope that you
and your family will grow with ours.
Our Mission
The purpose of the E.W.R.S. is to medically care for injured and orphaned wildlife for
release back into the wild. For those animals that cannot be released, we provide
a comfortable haven in which they can live out their lives in safety. These animals
may then play a part in our educational programs, teaching young and old alike the
importance of not only caring for our wildlife but the habitats in which we live.
Educational programs will be on and off the premises of the E.W.R.S., taken to schools,
camps, and appropriate gatherings.
It is the purpose of the E.W.R.S. to involve itself in whatever way possible to help
preserve any endangered animal species, such as the Eastern Cougar. It is not the
purpose of the E.W.R.S. to function as a Zoo.
Let us remember that if our wildlife ceases to exist, so do you, and so do I. “It’s
called the Circle of Life.”

You Don’t Have To Go To Africa To Save An Endangered Species”
Meet Annie… Annie is one of our many resident southeastern black bears. When she was only six weeks old, poachers in Tennessee killed her mother. They then pulled out all
of Annie’s claws with a pair of pliers. They did not even use
sedation. Fortunately, the poachers videotaped their actions
and when they were caught, that tape served as evidence
against them in federal court. They received a mandatory 2-5
year prison term and a $10,000 fine for their horrible deed.
Today, she is doing much better, but we would like to see her
able to run and play in a proposed 3-acre natural habitat we
have planned for her and our many other bears. We sincerely
thank Mr. Howard Buffet for his generous contribution which enabled us to purchase
the tract of land needed for this project. However, a total of $67,000 is still needed to
complete construction of the habitat.
and Introducing…“Heidi”
(born July 21, 2001)
Heidi and her brother, Marlin, are two of the
sanctuary’s newest residents. Their mother, Sedonia, is the wildest of our cougars. Also known
as pumas, mountain lions, and panthers, most
people do not realize that their ancestors used to
roam all over North and South America. By the
early 1900’s though, nearly all pumas east of the
Mississippi River vanished due to uncontrolled
hunting. Today, the only documented population
of eastern panthers exists in the southern tip of
Florida, where they are known as the highly
endangered Florida Panther. Less than 100 true
eastern panthers are documented to exist at this time.
Heidi and Marlin are part of the sanctuary’s program to help protect, and one day
restore, the nearly extinct eastern puma throughout remote wild areas in the east. The
only hope in saving them will come from introducing new genetic material from their
more common cousin, the western cougar. Here at the sanctuary, we are following this
example set by Florida D.N.R. in 1995 with their Panther Restoration Project. The
sanctuary plans to house the premier eastern puma breeding and research facility in
the world. Before that dream can come true, we must raise funds for a 5-acre prerelease
habitat in which cubs can be raised without direct human contact. Once sanctioned by
Georgia or another eastern state, those cubs could then be released in remote eastern
wilderness areas to restore ecological balance by helping to control the serious overpopulation of whitetail deer.
