Unsure where to start or how to help?
The best way to determine what to do is to get in touch with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. You can call our emergency line at 570-739-4393 extension 1.
This link will take you to an Online Interactive Emergency Help platform that can assist you in figuring out next steps.
Not local to us? We are one of the only facilities in the state of Pennsylvania that stays open to intakes all year round. With the exception of venomous snakes, adult deer, and black bear, we accept all native Pennsylvania species. Because of this, we may be the closest facility to you. However, you can use this “Find a rehabilitator in Pennsylvania” tool to check for a rehabilitator closer to you.
