Dear visitor, The best way for you to contact me is through an email to yourpetsfriend(at)gmail.com. My rescue phone number 551-6335 is becoming unusable due to the increased number of spam calls, robot dialers, after hours calls to drop off stray puppies, kittens and sick pets flooding my phone system. I must often turn that phone off in order to have the time to tend to the sick and orphaned wildlife already in my care. Ron Hines
Rio Grande Valley Wildlife Rescue In Brownsville, Texas
The Rio Grande Valley of Texas has one of the most unique and fragile wildlife populations in North America. Let’s help save them! 
Email before coming by, or a phone message. (956) 551-6335) Dr. Hines and his wife can’t away be at the telephone to answer your calls. The majority of the time he is with the animals he is caring for. But you can always leave an email message for him.

These creatures all rely on your charity. If you have seen something in a hospital, nursing home, HEB or Walmart, we can use it & Dr. H. can fix it. Also, most appreciated would be a used dental x-ray machine/or small portable, and an ultrasound unit and a pediatric transducer. Here are some of the other things we can always use:
This is a 501c3 Organization. Contact: yourpetsfriend@gmail.com
This Facility does not pick up or transport injured wildlife. Dr. Hines does not treat dogs and cats anymore – even if it is after hours and your regular vet is closed. He has limited freezer space for fish. A pelican eats up to 4 pounds of fish per day. Because of that, his large case load and other factors, please do not arrive unannounced. Please do not be upset, leave bad reviews or complain to Austin if his facility has no open spaces at the time. No one pays him for his efforts, the medications he gives or the food the animals consume. If no one picks up the phone, it is because everyone is fully occupied tending to sick or orphaned animals. He will return your call when he can. (956) 551-6335 If you get a recording, please speak your phone number slowly and clearly. Include the City you live in. The Rio Grande Valley desperately needs more people like you helping wildlife that are in need. You don’t need a lot of fancy, degrees and education. What you need is a generous heart.
Esta instalación no recoge ni transporta animales salvajes heridos. El Dr. Hines ya no trata a perros y gatos, incluso si es fuera del horario de atención y su veterinario habitual está cerrado. Tiene un espacio limitado en el congelador para pescado. Los pelícanos comen hasta 4 libras de pescado por día. Debido a eso, su gran cantidad de casos y otros factores, no llegue sin previo aviso. Por favor, no se enoje, deje malas críticas o se queje con Austin si su instalación no tiene espacios abiertos en ese momento. Nadie le paga por sus esfuerzos, ni los medicamentos que le da o la comida que consumen los animales. Si nadie contesta el teléfono es porque todos están ocupados atendiendo animales enfermos o huérfanos. Él le devolverá la llamada cuando pueda. (956) 551-6335 Si obtiene una grabación, diga su número de teléfono lenta y claramente. Incluya la ciudad en la que vive. El Valle del Río Grande necesita desesperadamente más personas como usted que ayudan a la vida silvestre que lo necesita. No necesitas mucha fantasía, títulos y educación. Lo que necesitas es un corazón generoso. Y si, el Doctor H. y su esposa hablan espanol.
