Featured Programs
Reasons for Rehabilitation
Why did we receive more than 3,000 ill, injured or orphaned animals into our wildlife rehabilitation facility last year? For many different reasons! Caught by a cat, hit by a car, tangled in fishing line to name a few. Come hear about our patients from our licensed and certified wildlife rehabilitators, meet a resident animal with its own success story, and find out how we give animals a second chance at life.
