In 2005, when the Council of Agriculture was reorganized, the center was taken over from the Forestry Bureau. Besides receiving a greatly increased budget (reaching NT $ 60 million per year), the center also added a new aquarium and a research and conservation facility for species unique to Taiwan. In addition, an emergency rescue station was set up at National Chung Hsing University in Taichung.
2005 年，農委會組織調整，收容中心業務移由林務局接續辦理，除了大幅提升經費至每年 6,000 萬元外，還新增設了「海洋生物博物館」和「特有生物研究保育中心」，另在台中國立中興大學設了一處急救站。
