Mission
Think Wild is a 501(c) non-profit organization based in Bend, Oregon that was founded in 2016. Think Wild's Wildlife Hospital and Conservation Center opened in 2020 to provide medical care for injured and orphaned native wildlife from Central and parts of Eastern Oregon. Our facility is permitted through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but we do not receive government funding for wildlife hospital operations and are funded through private donations and grants.
