Sick or Injured Wildlife

Sometimes a Good Samaritan finds injured or sick wildlife, such as a bird, bunny, or squirrel, and contacts us for care. We are not equipped to offer wildlife rehabilitation, but will assist you in contacting the appropriate wildlife agency to supply proper care to the animal.

When necessary, we will treat injured and sick wildlife when the wildlife rehabilitation agency authorizes such treatment, or if no agency contact can be made and the animal is in a life-threatening situation. Uninjured wildlife that just seems lost is referred to the responsible agency for pick up and care.

Should you find any wildlife, whether lost, sick, or injured, please call our office before coming here, and we will assist you do what is best for the animal(s).
