DID YOU KNOW?
Many people are unaware that Wildlife Rehabilitation is a labor of love and an unpaid profession. Since individuals and most centers are not funded by the State or the Government, these types of facilities rely entirely on donations of time, supplies and of course money.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
You can help by volunteering time, collecting "wish list" items or sending a donation of money which will directly benefit wildlife in the care of a rehabilitator.
