About
Lilac Animal Intake & Recovery
LAIR, a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization, operates in coordination with other local wildlife rehabilitators, as well as community resources for cats, dogs, and other animals. We are located in Portsmouth, Virginia, and serve all surrounding cities and counties of Southeastern Virginia. We can only accept wildlife species for which we have a current permit with Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and/or US Fish and Wildlife Service. Please text Eastern Virginia Wildlife Rescue (EVWR) at (757)255-8710 for wildlife concerns.
Our Approach
At LAIR, we believe in a holistic approach to animal rescue and rehabilitation. We provide specialized care tailored to the individual needs of each animal, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Our team is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all the animals in our care. We need your help to continue caring for these animals. Consider donating items from our wishlists at Chewy, Tractor Supply Company, Henry's Pets, or Amazon.


Our Story
LAIR was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to make a difference in the lives of all animals in need. Every animal that comes through our doors has a unique story, and we are honored to be part of their journey to recovery and a new beginning. Every volunteer has the opportunity to enrich the lives of these animals. Come join us!
