The Little Ponderosa Zoo and Rescue is a licensed rehabilitation facility that maintains permits from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) to care for sick, injured, and orphaned native wildlife. Over the years, we have provided medical treatment to hundreds of animals, including foxes, bobcats, squirrels, raccoons and many more. With the help of our staff many of these animals are able to recover and return to their natural habitat.
To ensure our Wildlife Rehabilitation Staff is available to care for the animal, please call and speak with a rehab representative BEFORE bringing the animal to the zoo. Contact Wildlife Rehab personnel by calling 865-457-5536. Please LEAVE US A MESSAGE and we will return your call as quickly as possible to arrange your admission.
Due to staffing, the Chattanooga Zoo is not available to perform animal rescues. All animals that need rescuing will need to be brought to the Zoo after arranging an admission with our staff.
The Little Ponderosa Zoo and Rescue operates as a full service wildlife rehabilitation facility. The animals brought to the Zoo are assessed and cared for until they are ready to be released back into the wilds. If you find an injured, orphaned, or displaced animal, please contact us directly.
For the safety of the animals and individuals, Tennessee state law PROHIBITS individuals keeping wildlife without a permit. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Staff can assist you with emergency instructions to care for the animal until you can get it to a licensed rehabilitator.
NOTICE: Due to Chronic Wasting Disease, White Tailed Deer, including fawns, are no longer able to be rehabilitated in the state of Tennessee. The Little Ponderosa Zoo and Rescue will only be able to take in injured fawns that are needing humane euthanasia.
