Hello there, and thank you for visiting our website today!
Starting in the 2023 rehab season, I assumed the role of Executive Director for Wild Again in Mississippi, Rescue and Rehabilitation, INC., after our founder and previous Executive Director, Estelle Roberts, stepped down for reasons and to spend more time with her family. I am sincerely grateful that Estelle as well as the board of directors, have entrusted me with taking over the reins of the organization. My goal is to ensure that Wild Again in Mississippi continues for many years to come and becomes a household name when orphaned or injured wildlife is found in need of care.
I am a native of Booneville, MS, and a 40+ year resident of Oxford, MS. I am married my wonderful husband, Ron, and I am a mother of two amazing sons, a grandmother of two and a dog mom to five wonderful pups (four of which are Great Danes). I am also a retired school teacher and realtor. My passion has always been caring for animals, from the humane society to wildlife; this mission is dear to my heart. I believe every animal deserves the chance to stay wild and live its full life potential, which is why our organization and our amazing volunteers get up each and every day with one common goal: to better the animals in our care.

About our founders:
Hello,
We are Todd and Estelle Roberts. We love animals naturally and feel compelled to "help whenever we can." For my husband, It all started with rescuing that first stray dog, then the second and third, etc. Me, I've always been drawn to animals of all kinds. Family, friends, and neighbors always brought the injured, lost, or abandoned to me. After moving back "HOME" to the country due to devastating family circumstances. I was in constant prayer for a purpose.
Isn't it amazing how God works? It took one tiny Hummingbird for me. Yes, that is how he spoke to us. One Spring day, "Angel," our sweet German Shepard (a rescue), worked persistently to draw my husband's attention. To his surprise, a tiny, helpless little Hummingbird had tangled himself in a spider web and fallen to the concrete floor in his workshop, breaking his wing. He scooped up this little one and brought it straight to me after completing all to ensure security. I researched the nearest Avian Rescue. I traveled almost an hour to reach the rehabber/ donated money for its care and hoped for the best.
Three weeks later, I received a call, hearing the sweetest news. The lady rehabber exclaimed, "She's flying." I was ecstatic!!! She explained that Hummingbirds needed to be released back in the same area for their winter flight path and asked if she could come to my home for the release.
As you can guess, she arrived, and we videoed the exciting release. I knew that this feeling of purpose was my sign. It was meant to be. It gave me JOY!!! I have been taking care of animals all my life, but now I want to be part of something more official. So, two years later 'we have obtained our license with the state of Mississippi and hope to encourage others to join us in any way they feel led.
About Our Group:
We are a group of 100% volunteers working out of our homes who love wildlife unconditionally. We focus only on MAMMALS in our group. There are other groups if you enjoy more with the Avian species more.
​
Some of our volunteers have 25-28 years of experience working with wildlife rehabilitation and are always willing to help with any questions or assistance. There are numerous mammal species in our area, and each one requires specific rehabilitation needs. One-on-one training and written materials will be supplied for your training.
We rely entirely on donations to rehabilitate our wildlife babies or injured adults. The hours can be long, the work can get dirty, and the heartbreak can come instantly. There is NO pay, but without us, these helpless, hopeless creatures of God have no one else to turn to. The reward is priceless!! It's definitely "A CALLING."
So, if this speaks to you, please visit our volunteer page to find out how you can make a difference.​

Todd & Estelle Roberts
