Capturing a wild animal can be risky. Please call ahead prior to securing the animal so that staff can walk you through the safest way to capture it.
We do not have the number of staff or the funding necessary to pick up animals. We rely on YOU to find transportation for the animal to get to us. We will arrange for veterinary care, food, and any other necessary care and treatment for the animal, at no cost to you. All we ask is that you get it to us. If you are experiencing difficulty with this, we may be able to provide suggestions. Our emergency line is (570) 739-4393 extension 1.
Capture and Transport Education
Wildlife In Need is a volunteer-based capture and transport network in the state of Pennsylvania. Their volunteers cover quite a lot of area throughout the counties of Pennsylvania. They are a fantastic resource, but are always in need of more volunteers to be able to keep up with the need for permitted capture and transport personnel in the state. If you are interested in learning more, please check out the Wildlife In Need volunteer page.
