Who We Are
Mission: To rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured and orphaned opossums and other wildlife.
Along with our permitted rehabbers and educators, we have a team of volunteers who work 7 days a week. Primarily women, the ages of our volunteers range from 17 to 75. We are an eclectic group of people with many different social, political and religious backgrounds who have come together with one common cause, saving lives of the forgotten.
Opie Acres is permitted by USDA and TWRA for educational programs with our live education ambassadors. If you would like to schedule an educational program, please contact us. They are free, however we do accept donations for the programs.
What We Do
Opie Acres is a wildlife rehabilitation center primarily focused on the Virginia Opossum. We care for as many as 800 animals a year giving life saving medical care and rehabilitation to the wildlife of Tennessee. Our patients include opossums, skunks, groundhogs, raccoons, weasels, mink, otters, bobcats, foxes, and many more.
