The North Texas Wildlife Center in Plano has found a new location after being required by city officials to vacate its previous residential site. The announcement was made by the center's president, Rebecca Hamlin, who expressed gratitude for community support during the transition.

Details about the new facility have not yet been disclosed, as the center plans to renovate before moving in. The organization aims to complete the move by February 2026, in time for the busy wildlife baby season, and will continue its mission to rescue and rehabilitate local wildlife.

The North Texas Wildlife Center in Plano has relocated. In June, Plano city leaders said the facility could no longer operate in a residential neighborhood and so the race was on to find a new location. Fox 4's Lori Brown has today's announcement. My cheeks hurt from smiling. We did it. We have a new wildlife center. Rebecca Hamlin, president of North Texas Wildlife Center, made the announcement in a live Facebook stream to their supporters Friday. Just four months ago, the city of Plano gave the nonprofit animal rescue notice that while it had a proper permit, it could no longer operate in a residential neighborhood. Hamlin told us this in June and they said typically we would give 13 days to vacate, but we see what you're doing and we appreciate you. We're gonna give you 60 days. So the city of Plano has been really generous and they're giving us 60 days to find a new place to call our home, which is really scary. Um, but I'm confident that with community support, we can make and they did. We can announce that we have a new facility. Hamlin says they are not yet providing details on the new location. They want to renovate it first. We are hoping to be fully moved in by February 1st, just in time for baby season 2026. And as we saw this summer, there are a lot of babies to get ready for. This guy is being tube fed formula. He's doing great and we expect for this one a full recovery. Baby opossums, rats, mice, pigeons, doves, opossum, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, wildcats, coyotes, foxes, owls, vultures. We love them all. We will try to save them all. But there is a lot of work ahead to have the very, very daunting task of tearing down every single custom made enclosure that we have at our current location and hauling it over to the new location. And they will have to mortgages until they can complete the move. But Hamlin is confident with the support of North Texas wildlife lovers, they will be able to make it happen. I just appreciate everybody that showed up for us because, uh, it was very scary. It's very sad to think that we may have to in our organization because we didn't have a place and we have a place now. North Texas Wildlife Center is it's yours. Laurie Brown Fox four News.
